I'm a bit worried because I had an Eco ECG TMT and some blood tests done about a month ago, and everything came back normal. But now, for the past two days, I've been having this pain in my left chest, especially when I'm trying to sleep. It's hard to get comfortable, and breathing seems to make it worse when I'm lying down. Any idea why this is happening if all my tests were normal? Could you suggest any painkillers that might help?

View allI've been having a really hard time with my sleep schedule. I tend to crash around 7 or 8 in the evening and can barely stay up past 9 p.m. It's like my body just shuts down after dinner, and I'm struggling to understand why this is happening. On top of that, I'm experiencing some other weird stuff. Whenever I sit down or stand up quickly, my heart starts racing like crazy, and it also happens if I suddenly fall onto the bed. I've heard of postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome and anxiety symptoms, and I know they can cause things like this, along with heavy sweating and really dry skin. But even after trying anxiety meds, nothing seems to change. What could be going on with me? Any ideas?
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS). POTS is a condition characterized by an abnormal increase in heart rate that occurs after sitting up or standing. The symptoms you described, such as racing heart when changing positions, feeling tired in the evening, and sweating, can be associated with POTS. For the symptoms of POTS, you can try increasing your fluid and salt intake, wearing compression stockings, and doing exercises to improve blood flow. Additionally, medications like midodrine or fludrocortisone may be prescribed to help manage your symptoms. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

I've been experiencing some chest pain for about a week now. It moves around a bitsometimes it's on the left side, sometimes the right, and occasionally I feel it in my back too. I'm really worried it might be something to do with my heart since I'm 31 and a bit on the heavier side. Should I be concerned about this?
Chest pain can have various causes, including heart-related issues. However, since your pain is on both sides of the chest and also on your back, it may not be directly related to the heart. It is important to rule out other potential causes such as muscle strain or gastrointestinal issues. You can take over-the-counter pain relief medication like Acetaminophen (Tylenol) 500mg every 6 hours as needed for pain. However, it is crucial to consult a healthcare professional for a proper evaluation and diagnosis.

I'm really concerned because my blood pressure was quite high at 17090 before I did the TMT test. Could that be the reason why my TMT test came back positive?
YES,severe hypertension can be a cause of positive results..
