I've been experiencing this weakness in my chest and it's making me really anxious. I'm trying to figure out what's going on because sometimes I also get this heaviness when I breathe and feel dizzy. It even makes me feel shaky at times. What could be causing these symptoms?

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms related to anxiety, which can cause chest tightness, dizziness, and shaky feelings. However, these symptoms can also be linked to other conditions such as heart issues or respiratory problems. I recommend consulting with a healthcare provider to get a proper evaluation and ensure it's not something more serious.

Question

I've been having some chest pain and got an echo done, and the report mentioned "normal diastolic dysfunction." I'm trying to understand what this means. Should I be worried about it being serious, or is it something normal? I'm a bit anxious about what this report could imply. Could you help clarify this for me?

Question

I'm 86 and I've been having some issues. I've been getting occasional angina pain and my doctor told me to take Imdur isosorbide mononitrate, 30mg every day. But since I started, I've been feeling dizzy when I stand up or get out of bed, so I'm guessing it's because my blood pressure drops. Should I stop taking Imdur, or is there something else I can do? I'm not sure what's best and would really appreciate some advice.

Question

I'm 36 and I hit the gym regularly. Just had a TMT and it says I have "reversible myocardial ischemia." What exactly does that mean? Should I be worried or thinking about any changes to my workout routine? Would appreciate any insights.
