I just sneezed and my chest really hurts. Its like this sharp pain, almost like something's pulling in there, maybe even my heart. This happens every time I sneeze. Should I be worried? What could be causing this?

I've been experiencing some weird sensations when I wake up early in the morning. It feels like something is fluttering in my chest or heart, and I get really uneasy with mild breathlessness and sometimes feel light-headed. My pulse seems to stay between 60 to 80, and my oxygen level is usually at 99, but I find myself swallowing suddenly and taking deep breaths without realizing it. My blood pressure was 9762 the first time I checked and 10869 the second time, with a pulse of 73. I had an ECG, 2D echo, and troponin tests done about a month ago, and they were all normal. I dont have any thyroid issues, and my lipid profile and haemogram were also normal. Even my chest X-ray from a month ago didn't show anything out of the ordinary. Now and then, I have a mild cough, and my lips get really dry when I wake up. I even heard a mild wheezing sound when I laughed. Should I be worried about these symptoms? What could be causing these sensations?

since all your tests are normal, kindly don't worry

I'm currently taking Nexito Plus and Propranolol. I'm wondering if these medications could be affecting my ECG results? Also, I'm dealing with gastritis right now. Could that be related to or affecting my heart health?

The combination of Nexito Plus (Escitalopram, Clonazepam, and Nortriptyline) and Propranolol can potentially have an effect on your ECG due to their cardiac side effects. Propranolol, in particular, can cause changes in heart rate and rhythm which may be reflected in an ECG. It is important to monitor your heart health regularly while taking these medications. Additionally, since you are experiencing gastritis problems, it's important to note that Propranolol can exacerbate gastrointestinal issues. It would be advisable to discuss these concerns with your healthcare provider to ensure the safety and effectiveness of your medication regimen.

My father has 4 major blocks in his heart 3 are over 70% and one is 30%. I've attached the report for reference. The doctor recommended bypass surgery, but I'm wondering why angioplasty isn't an option here. Can you explain the reasoning behind this?

Is your father a diabetic patient? How is his physical built - thin, average, obese? Otherwise a active person or not?
