Is it possible for the heaviness in my chest to be related to gastric issues or anxiety? I've been experiencing this chest heaviness for the past three months, and my heart tests have come back normal. I'm trying to figure out what might be causing i...

Accepted Answer

Yes, chest heaviness can be caused by both gastric problems and anxiety. For gastric issues, you can try taking antacids like **Ranitidine** 150mg twice daily before meals to reduce stomach acid. For anxiety, you can try **Escitalopram** 10mg once daily in the morning to help manage your symptoms. It is important to also make lifestyle changes such as avoiding trigger foods for gastric issues and practicing relaxation techniques for anxiety.

I'm a bit confused about my recent TMT test results since it came back negative. Can you explain what that means for me?

Question 6

I'm really worried because my triglycerides are at 471. I'm concerned if this could be a sign of heart disease. I tried using fibrates to help with it, but then my creatine levels went up. What should I do now? Any advice would be really helpful.

Accepted Answer

Since fibrates caused an increase in your creatinine levels, you may consider using statins such as Atorvastatin at a low dose to help lower your triglycerides. The usual starting dose for Atorvastatin is 10-20 mg once daily. However, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider for proper monitoring and adjustment of your medication regimen.
