I've been experiencing a rapid heartbeat lately, and I'm not sure if it's a side effect of the medication I'm on or if it's a heart issue. Could you give me some advice on this?
Rapid heart beat can be a concerning symptom. It is important to identify if it is a side effect of the tablets you are taking or a cardiac issue. To determine if it is a side effect of your medication, please provide me with the names of the tablets you are currently taking along with their dosages. If it is related to a cardiac problem, I recommend consulting with a cardiologist for further evaluation and management.

I've been having chest pain when I walk or go up stairs, so I got a CT angiography done. The report shows I have myocardial bridging of the proximal LAD, about 1.8 cm long. The doctor said not to worry and that no treatment is needed, but the pain on my left side isn't going away. Can you help me understand what this all means and what I should do next?
Since you are experiencing persistent chest pain despite the reassurance from your doctor, it may be helpful to consider medication to help manage your symptoms. You can try taking a calcium channel blocker such as Diltiazem (Cardizem) at a low dose initially, under the guidance of your doctor. The usual starting dose for Diltiazem is 120 mg to 180 mg per day, taken in divided doses. This medication can help relax the smooth muscle in the walls of your coronary arteries and improve blood flow to the heart muscle, potentially reducing chest pain associated with your condition. However, please consult with your doctor before starting any new medication.
