I'm a bit worried and curious if taking too much blood pressure medication might cause an abnormal EKG. Could there be something else causing this, or is it really the medication?

yes. Stress and exercises are other factors.

View allWhy are young people who are fit suddenly having heart attacks? It's really worrying because even those who keep up with their fitness are facing these heart problems at such a young age. Can you explain why this is happening and suggest some preventive measures we can take against this serious issue?
There are several factors that can contribute to this, including genetics, lifestyle choices, and underlying health conditions. Preventive measures include maintaining a healthy diet, regular exercise, avoiding smoking, managing stress, and getting regular check-ups with your healthcare provider. In terms of medication, aspirin can be used as a preventive measure for heart attacks. Low-dose aspirin (75-100mg) taken daily can help reduce the risk of heart attacks in high-risk individuals. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new medication regimen.

I'm experiencing heaviness and palpitations in my chest along with heartburn. I've gone through several tests like ECG, Echo, stress TMT, and stress MPI, and they all came back normal. But I still feel these symptoms sometimes and have visited many cardiologists without finding a solution. They say it's anxiety, yet I sleep well at night. Do you have any advice or suggestions for further tests? And is it okay if I drink chamomile tea at night?
It's good that you have undergone various cardiac tests which have come back normal. Since your symptoms are still persisting, it is possible that anxiety could be contributing to your symptoms. In addition to managing stress and anxiety, you can try over-the-counter antacids for heartburn relief. For palpitations, you can try taking a magnesium supplement. However, it's important to consult with a doctor before starting any new supplement. As for chamomile tea, it is generally considered safe for most people and can help with relaxation. You can try drinking chamomile tea in the evening to help with anxiety and promote better sleep. Start with a low dose and see how your body reacts to it. If your symptoms continue or worsen, it may be helpful to consult with a gastroenterologist to rule out any gastrointestinal issues that could be contributing to your symptoms.
