I'm 22 and have been feeling something weird in my heart for about a week now. It's hard to explain, but it's like something is wrong near my heart. I can still walk 5km, run, lift weights, and eat normally. However, when I drink water, it feels like it's going toward my heart. Also, I have a slight pain in my right thigh. I'm getting a bit worried because I'm planning to go to the UK next month. Is this something serious that I should be concerned about?

Based on your symptoms, it is important to rule out any potential heart issues. The sensation you are feeling near your heart, along with the thigh pain, could be related to various factors. It is recommended to consult a doctor for a proper evaluation and diagnosis. In the meantime, you can take a low dose of Aspirin (75-100mg) once daily to help with any potential heart-related concerns. Additionally, ensure you stay hydrated and avoid strenuous activities until you have been evaluated by a healthcare professional.

View allI'm a bit worried after being diagnosed with sinus tachycardia and an incomplete right bundle branch block. The doctor mentioned I should start taking trimetazidine. I'm not sure if it's really necessary or if there might be other options. Could you help me understand if I should go ahead with it?
Sinus tachycardia and Incomplete right bundle branch block are both cardiac conditions that may require treatment to manage symptoms and prevent complications. Trimetazidine is not typically used to treat these conditions. For sinus tachycardia, beta-blockers like Metoprolol can be prescribed to help slow down the heart rate. For Incomplete right bundle branch block, treatment may not be necessary unless there are symptoms or other heart conditions present. It is important to follow your doctor's recommendations and discuss any concerns or questions you have about your treatment plan.

I'm trying to understand what's included in an angiogram report. I received a printed report, but later found out there should also be a CD provided as evidence. When I asked the hospital about it, they gave me one, but only after charging me. I'm worried why they didn't give it to me initially. Is there something fishy going on? Shouldn't they provide the CD in case I need to get a second opinion from another doctor?
In an angiogram report, the findings typically include details about the blood vessels in the heart, any blockages or narrowing, and the overall condition of the heart. The report may also mention the presence of any plaques or clots. As for the CD with images, it usually contains visual images of the angiogram procedure for further reference or consultation with other healthcare providers. It is not uncommon for hospitals to charge for providing a CD of medical images, as there may be costs associated with creating and providing this additional documentation. While it is ideal for hospitals to provide all necessary information upfront, sometimes there may be administrative reasons for not including the CD initially. If you have concerns about the process or the completeness of the information provided, it is best to directly discuss this with the hospital or healthcare provider who conducted the angiogram. They should be able to address any questions or issues you may have regarding the report and CD.

I'm a bit worried about my recent TMT report. It came back as mildly positive for provocable ischemia. I'm currently taking atenolol 50mg and atorvastatin 10mg. What does this mean for my heart health, and should I be concerned or is there more I need to do?
A TMT report indicating mildly positive provokable ischemia suggests potential reduced blood flow to the heart during exertion, indicating coronary artery disease. Given that you are taking Atenolol 50 mg and Atorvastatin 10 mg, it is crucial to review these findings with your cardiologist. They may recommend additional diagnostic tests such as a coronary angiogram or stress echocardiogram to further evaluate your condition. In the meantime, continue taking your medications as prescribed, and adhere to lifestyle modifications like a heart-healthy diet, regular exercise within advised limits, and stress management. If you experience any worsening symptoms, seek immediate medical attention.
