View allI'm really concerned because I have a history of minoxidil poisoning and now I'm experiencing chest pain even when I'm just resting. I also feel like my heart starts beating really fast out of nowhere, like palpitations. I don't have a smoking history, so I'm not sure what's causing this. Could this be related to the past poisoning, or should I be worried about something else?
Getting chest pain while resting and palpitations like symptoms can be concerning. It is important to seek medical attention immediately. In the meantime, you can take aspirin 325mg for chest pain as it can help with heart-related issues. Please do not delay in seeking medical help.

I've noticed that my heart rate tends to go up to 130 when I'm feeling anxious, and I recently had an echo done. Thankfully, the report was normal, but it did show Grade 1 diastolic dysfunction with an ejection fraction of 54. I'm curious, can anxiety-induced high heart rate affect the echo results? Also, could these findings indicate any valvular disease?
High heart rate can affect certain echo parameters, but in your case, with a heart rate of 130 due to anxiety, the echo report came back normal. Valvular diseases can still be detected even with a high heart rate. In your case, the echo report showed Grade 1 diastolic dysfunction and an ejection fraction of 54%. To further evaluate any valvular disease, you may need additional tests such as a Doppler echocardiogram. No specific medication is needed for Grade 1 diastolic dysfunction, but it's important to manage any underlying conditions contributing to it.
