Hey, I've been dealing with this pricking sensation on just the left side of my chest for the past year. It's more like a dull, mild sensation rather than outright pain, and it disappears within seconds. I've already done an ECG, echo, TMT, chest X-ray, and blood tests, and everything came back normal. Do you think I need any more tests to check my heart? Should I be worried about any heart issues even if my tests didn't show anything concerning? Also, what could be causing this pricking feeling in my left chest? Would appreciate your advice.

- Since your ECG, echo, tmt, chest x-ray, and blood tests have all come back normal, further heart investigations may not be necessary at this point. However, if your symptoms persist or worsen, a coronary angiography may be considered by your doctor. 2) If all your tests have come back normal, it is reassuring and indicates that there may not be a serious issue with your heart. However, it is important to continue monitoring your symptoms and follow up with your healthcare provider regularly. 3) The pricking pain in your left chest could be due to various reasons such as musculoskeletal issues, nerve irritation, anxiety, or gastrointestinal problems. It is important to discuss your symptoms in detail with your doctor to determine the exact cause and appropriate treatment.

View allI'm 20 years old and I've been diagnosed with sinus tachycardia. I also have an overactive thyroid, and I've been told my heart's right ventricle is a little bigger than the left. Could all of this be a serious health risk?
Sinus tachycardia in the setting of an overactive thyroid can sometimes lead to complications, especially if left untreated. The enlarged right ventricle may be a result of the increased workload on the heart due to the tachycardia. It is important to manage both the thyroid condition and the tachycardia to prevent further complications. Medications such as Propranolol can be used to help control the heart rate and symptoms. Regular monitoring by a healthcare provider is essential to ensure proper management of your condition.

My sister has been feeling sick and weak for months, with chest pain and nausea. It got worse yesterday, so we took her to the hospital. They did an ECG, echo, and chest X-ray. Her echo report shows she has grade 1 diastolic dysfunction. I read this is related to heart failure, but the doctor discharged her, saying everything's fine. Is there something more we should know? Could the doctor be keeping something from us?

I'm really worried about my dad. He's been taking ecosprin AV but he's been having some abdomen pain, so the doctor suggested a USG, and they also mentioned theyll do a TMT test. In the meantime, they've switched his medication from ecosprin AV to a mix of Telmisartan and Metaprolol Succinate until they can do the TMT test. Unfortunately, we couldn't get the USG and TMT tests done today. Is it safe for him to stop taking ecosprin AV for now?
it is advisable to follow your doctor's instructions regarding medication changes. In this case, since your father's medication has been changed from Ecosprin AV to Telmisartan and Metoprolol Succinate combination, it is important to continue with the new medication as prescribed. Once the TMT test and USG are conducted, the doctor will be able to provide further guidance based on the results. It is generally not recommended to stop medication abruptly without consulting the doctor. Therefore, please continue with the Telmisartan and Metoprolol Succinate combination as advised by the doctor
