I've been dealing with a higher heart rate for about 45 days now, and it's really starting to make me feel nervous and cause chest pain. This actually happened to me about two years ago as well, and back then I did all the tests like ECG and 2D ECHO but they didn't find anything wrong. Now that it's happening again, I'm really concerned. Can you suggest what might be causing this or how I should treat it?

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of anxiety or panic attacks. To help manage your symptoms, you can try taking a beta-blocker medication such as Propranolol. The usual dosage for Propranolol in such cases is 10-40mg, taken 2-3 times a day as needed to control heart rate and chest pain. However, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new medication.

Question

I'm feeling this weird pain in the center of my chest whenever I breathe deeply or move suddenly. It's been happening since this evening and while it goes away for a bit, it keeps coming back. I'm trying to figure out if this might just be from a cold or if it's more like an infection. Who should I be talking to about this? What kind of doctor would handle something like this?

Question

I'm just about to hit 30 and have a 2-year-old at home. I recently got a blood test done, and I'm a bit concerned about my cholesterol levels. My total cholesterol is at 208, HDL is 46, non-HDL is 161, and LDL is 138. Do these levels mean I need to start any medication? For context, I weigh 75 kg, I'm 5'6", not diabetic, and my blood pressure usually tends to be on the lower side of normal. Are there specific lifestyle changes I should consider, or is medication the way to go here?

Question

I'm having some issues with chest pain on my left side, and it's been going on for the last couple of months. The pain comes and goes and often extends from my upper chest to my left arm. I've also experienced some pulling in my left leg and occasional abdominal pain. I've had 5 ECG tests which were normal, and my echo showed an LVEF of 55. Today, we did a TMT. Could you help explain what all this means? Do you think I need any other tests?
