I'm curious about some symptoms I've been experiencing. A few months back, I did an echo report and a TMT, which came back negative. Lately, though, I've been having this pressure and a burning sensation in my chest, plus a lot of burping. I'm a bit worriedis this something heart-related? Should I consider getting more tests done to check my heart health? Would love to hear your thoughts.

based on your symptoms of pressure in chest, burping, burning sensation, and pain in chest, it is important to further evaluate your heart health. In addition to the echo report and negative TMT, I would recommend a few more tests for a comprehensive heart evaluation. 1. ECG (Electrocardiogram): To assess the electrical activity of your heart. 2. Holter Monitor: To monitor your heart's activity over a period of time. 3. Cardiac CT Scan or MRI: To get detailed images of your heart's structure and function. 4. Blood tests: Such as lipid profile and cardiac enzymes to check for any abnormalities. Based on the results of these tests, further treatment or management can be determined.

View allI'm having some trouble with my blood pressureit keeps staying high around 160111 and 155100 even after I've taken my medication. Can you help me understand why this might be happening and what I can do about it?
High blood pressure can be a serious condition if not properly controlled. I recommend you start taking Amlodipine (brand name Norvasc) 5mg once daily. Additionally, you can also add Hydrochlorothiazide (brand name Microzide) 12.5mg once daily to help lower your blood pressure. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and make lifestyle changes such as reducing salt intake, exercising regularly, and maintaining a healthy weight.

I'm feeling really anxious about this tight, squeezing sensation I've been having in my chest. I'm not sure whether it's actually my chest or something with my esophagus. It gets worse when I'm lying in bed and sometimes feels like heartburn. Do you have any tips or ideas about what might be going on? I can't help but worry.

What is a heart cough?
Heavy breathing accompanied by spells of wet cough with frothy sputum that may be tinged with blood is called as "Cardiac cough or Heart cough". It is a sign of congestive heart failure. Additional symptoms such as shortness of breath on exertion or rest, leg swelling, waking up from sleep in the middle of night gasping and coughing differentiate heart cough from cough due to lung conditions.
