I'm 20 and whenever I do my bench press workouts, I start feeling dizzy, my vision gets blurry, and my legs feel weak. It's starting to worry me, so I'm wondering which specialist should I see to help me figure this out?

I'm a bit worried about my heart health after my MI last January 2018. I was hospitalized and prescribed Elaxim, but no surgeries or stent were necessary. For the past year and a half, I've been taking Clavix AS 150 and Tonact 80mg, but recently I've been having a pricking pain in my chest and sometimes muscle cramps. I saw another cardiologist who suggested switching to Remetor CV and Nuroking D3 since my vitamin D and B12 levels are low. Are these new meds going to be effective for me? How does my heart compare to someone with a normal heart now? I also did a TMT a month ago and walked for 14.9 minutes. What should I be careful about? I drink occasionally, like once every 15 days, is that okay? I dont smoke. Also, I get anxious trying to tell apart a stomach pain from a heart pain since I panic every time I feel those chest pains. What should I look out for?

The medications Remetor CV and Nuroking D3 prescribed by your cardiologist are appropriate for your condition, especially considering your low vitamin D and B12 levels. Remetor CV contains a combination of medications to help manage your heart health, and Nuroking D3 will help improve your vitamin D levels. It is essential to follow your doctor's advice and take the shots as recommended to address your nutritional deficiencies. In comparison to a normal person's heart, your heart health may require closer monitoring and specific medications to manage the aftermath of a heart attack. It is crucial to continue taking your prescribed medications, follow a heart-healthy diet, engage in regular physical activity as tolerated, and attend regular follow-up appointments with your cardiologist. Regarding your lifestyle, it is generally safe to consume alcohol occasionally, as long as it is in moderation and does not interfere with your medications or overall health. However, it is advisable to limit alcohol intake and be mindful of any adverse effects it may have on your heart health. To differentiate between gastric pain and heart pain, it is essential to pay attention to the characteristics of the pain. Heart-related chest pain is often described as pressure, tightness, or squeezing sensation that may radiate to the arms, neck, jaw, or back. It is usually triggered by physical exertion or emotional stress and may be accompanied by shortness of breath, sweating, nausea, or lightheadedness. Gastric pain, on the other hand, is typically associated with digestion, may worsen after meals, and can be accompanied by symptoms like bloating, burping, or acid reflux. If you experience chest pain and are unsure of the cause, it is always best to seek medical attention promptly to rule out any serious cardiac issues.

I'm worried because my homocysteine levels are really high, like around 58.9, but my blood pressure is normal and I don't have diabetes. What steps should I take or things should I consider at this point?

High homocysteine levels can increase the risk of heart disease and stroke. To lower your homocysteine levels, you can take a combination of folic acid, vitamin B6, and vitamin B12. I recommend taking a tablet of Fol-5 Plus once daily, which contains the appropriate combination of these vitamins to help lower homocysteine levels. Additionally, it is important to maintain a healthy diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Regular exercise can also help in reducing homocysteine levels.

I'm really confused about what's going on with my heart. My ECG came back positive, but my TMT, Echo, and CT Coronary Angiogram are all normal. I constantly feel this pain that seems to start in my left hand and move to my chest. What could this mean? Should I be worried about this combination of results and symptoms?

The pain radiating from your left hand to your chest could be indicative of musculoskeletal pain, such as costochondritis or muscle strain. I would recommend taking over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen or ibuprofen for pain relief. Additionally, applying a warm compress to the affected area and practicing relaxation techniques may also help alleviate your symptoms. If the pain persists or worsens, it is advisable to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
