I'm a 28-year-old guy dealing with costochondritis and whenever I visit the doctor, my heart rate skyrockets and my blood pressure goes up, but when I'm back home, everything seems to settle down to normal. I'm really anxious about this. Could you help me understand what's happening and any suggestions on what I could do?

Your symptoms suggest white coat hypertension and anxiety, common in people with costochondritis; to manage anxiety, consider relaxation techniques like deep breathing, progressive muscle relaxation, or meditation, and for white coat hypertension, ask your doctor about ambulatory blood pressure monitoring or home blood pressure tracking to get accurate readings and alleviate anxiety-related spikes.

View allI'm really worried because my whole body seems to vibrate with my heartbeat, and I can actually see it in my stomach and hands. I've done ECGs, two TMTs, and an echo, and they all came back normal. I also feel this pressure on the left side of my chest, plus irritation in my throat that's been going on for more than two weeks now. I'm not sure if I should go for another echo or not. I also have a vitamin D deficiency and am taking weekly sachets for it. Do you think it's necessary to take calcium tablets with it? Any advice would be really appreciated.

I recently got an ECG done, and the results mentioned Sinus Rhythm and Marked Right Axis Deviation. I'm 24 and I'm wondering if this is considered normal or if there's anything to worry about with the right axis deviation. Can you help me understand what this means?

I've been dealing with some heart issues after my open heart surgery in 2016 for ASD closure. Lately, I've noticed that my resting heart rate at night sometimes drops below 55, and it feels like my heart might be skipping a beat now and then. Although my 2D Echo results are normal aside from a Grade I diastolic dysfunction, every time I do an ECG at the clinic, it shows a high heart rate but with a sinus rhythm. I've been on Seloken XL 50 every morning and Telmisartan 20mg for the past month, and my doctor wants me to continue for another three months, saying it's just anxiety. I'm kind of worried, though, about whether there's anything concerning with the low heart rate. What should I do?
