I'm dealing with a recurring issue where I feel discomfort in the middle or middle-left part of my chest whenever I'm stressed or overly worried about something, like my mother's sickness. It usually lasts for an hour or two and then goes away on its own. I'm a bit concerned about whether this could be a sign of a serious heart problem. Could you help me understand what might be causing this and how it could be treated?

Question

I'm a bit confused about how often someone should get a 2D Echo and ECG if they're feeling perfectly fine. Should it be done once a year or more? And what if someone starts showing symptoms; how does that change things? Would love to get a bit more clarity on this.

Question

I'm really worried about my heart. This morning, I had these palpitations and ended up going to the ER. They ran an ECG and did an echo, which came back normal, but the doctor suggested an ablation. I keep having palpitations even when I'm just climbing the stairs, and now I'm on these Dilzem tablets. Sometimes it feels like my heart actually stops and then starts again. Should I be concerned about this? Is there something serious going on?

Question

I'm 26 and I've been having anxiety symptoms. A couple of months ago, I experienced episodes of sinus tachycardia, and the ECG showed sinus tachycardia with ST and T wave depression in leads II, III, and AVF. I've had more ECGs since then with similar results, but my 2D echo was normal. My doctor suggested a TMT, which returned borderline positive with a low likelihood of significant CAD. During the TMT, METS was 8.8, BP was 15080, and the max heart rate was 187. I didn't feel any chest pain during the exercise. Do you think an angiogram is necessary, and what could be causing those ST and T wave changes?
