I'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've been noticing this strange sensation in my chest. It's not painful, more like a tender or weird feeling. My heart's fine as far as I know, but I'm not sure what's going on. Could it be something else in the chest area? It's starting to worry me a bit. Any idea what this could be?

Given your young age and lack of cardiac symptoms, it is most probably case of heartburn, or acute gastritis. Try to avoid hot, spicy and acidic foods for a few days, opt for a blander softer and blander diet. Avoid smoking if you are a smoker, and increase green leafy vegetables in your diet. You can take pantoprazole + domperidone capsules (Pan-D capsules) for a few days to help you with your heartburn. Drink plenty of water and stretch your muscles regularly.
