I recently got my ECG done just as a routine check-up, and it came back with a note saying 'suspect anteroseptal myocardial infarction.' What exactly does this mean, and should I be worried about it?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
suspect anteroseptal myocardial infarction on your ECG means there may be a heart attack in the front part of the heart. You may need to take medications like Aspirin 75mg once daily, Clopidogrel 75mg once daily, and Atorvastatin 40mg once daily to prevent further complications. It is important to follow up with a cardiologist for further evaluation and management."

View allI've been experiencing this right lower chest pain every time I jog for about 5 to 10 minutes, and it's starting to worry me. I'm not sure why it keeps happening. Should I be concerned about this, or is it something that usually happens and might go away on its own?

I'm experiencing these brief episodes of chest pain that just last a few seconds and then vanish. It's weird because my breathing feels fine, and my heart rate doesn't seem to speed up. I found out a while back that I have a small VSD, and my last echo six months ago was normal. Can you help me figure out what might be causing this?
"Hello, based on your description of experiencing chest pain for a fraction of seconds without any difficulty in breathing or increased heart rate, and considering your small ventricular septal defect (VSD) with a normal echocardiogram 6 months ago, this chest pain may be related to musculoskeletal issues or anxiety rather than a cardiac cause. To alleviate your symptoms, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen (Tylenol) as needed for chest discomfort. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques or deep breathing exercises may help reduce any anxiety-related chest pain episodes. If the chest pain persists or worsens, it is advisable to follow up with your cardiologist for further evaluation and management."

I've noticed this sharp pain in my chest right after I've had lunch, and it's happened a couple of times now. The pain only sticks around for about 30 seconds, but it's like someone's pinching my heart. I also realized I didn't drink any water after eating. Could this be connected to not drinking water, or is it something else I should be worried about?
It sounds like you may be experiencing episodes of heartburn or acid reflux. To help alleviate this discomfort, you can try taking an antacid medication such as Tums (calcium carbonate) 500mg as needed after meals. Additionally, it is important to stay hydrated throughout the day by drinking water regularly. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is recommended to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.
