I'm 21, and lately, I've been having these sudden spells of moderate pain on the left side of my chest that only last a few seconds before going away. Its got me a bit worried. Could this be something serious, or is it nothing to be too concerned about?

I can feel my heartbeat when I'm lying down, even though my ECG came back normal. The doctor said it's anxiety, and I've been on Ciplar LA 20 for 45 days now. How long does it usually take for this medication to help with the problem? My heart rate is around 70 now.
Feeling your own heartbeat when lying down can be a common symptom of anxiety. Ciplar LA 20 is a brand name for propranolol, which is a beta-blocker used to treat anxiety and heart conditions. It is important to continue taking your medication as prescribed by your doctor. In some cases, it may take a few weeks to a few months to see the full effects of the medication. Since you have been taking Ciplar LA 20 for 45 days and your heart rate is now 70 beats per minute, it seems like the medication is helping to control your symptoms. It is important to follow up with your doctor regularly to monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan.

Hey, my mom just had a 2D echo test and stress test done. The echo test came back normal with an LVFH of 60. However, during the stress test, she only managed to stay on the treadmill for 2 minutes because she's not very active and is a bit overweight. Our doctor has now recommended an angiography since the stress test wasnt normal. Do you think we should be concerned and go forward with the angiography?
Based on the information provided, since the stress test was not normal and your mom has limitations in physical activity due to being overweight, it would be advisable to follow your doctor's recommendation for an angiography. This will help in further evaluating the condition of her heart and determining the best course of action. In the meantime, it's important for your mom to continue following a healthy lifestyle, including regular physical activity and a balanced diet.
