I'm curious and a bit worried because I'm experiencing pain right in the middle of my chest, not in the ribs or on one side. It's just between my chest and it's been bothering me. What could be causing this kind of pain?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Pain in the center of the chest can be due to several factors, including acid reflux, muscle strain, or even stress. It's important to monitor if the pain is associated with other symptoms like shortness of breath or dizziness. If it persists or worsens, it's best to consult a healthcare provider for a thorough evaluation.

I've been dealing with chest pain for the past three months that comes and goes, and it often spreads to my left shoulder, arm, and even my jaw. Sometimes I get dizzy too. I had COVID before, and now I'm also experiencing some breathing issues since last week. I saw a cardiologist, and the ECG, trop test, and chest X-ray all showed nothing unusual. I had an echo and a TMT done today. Can you help me understand what's going on? What could be causing my symptoms if all these tests are normal?
Based on your symptoms and the tests you have undergone, it seems like you may be experiencing symptoms of angina or coronary artery disease. Since your ECG, troponin test, chest X-ray, echo, and TMT are normal, it is important to continue monitoring your symptoms and follow up with your cardiologist for further evaluation. In the meantime, you can take medications like Aspirin 75mg once daily to help reduce the risk of heart attack, and medications like Atorvastatin 20mg once daily to manage cholesterol levels. Additionally, Nitroglycerin sublingual tablets can be taken as needed for chest pain relief. It is also important to make lifestyle changes such as maintaining a healthy diet, regular exercise, quitting smoking (if applicable), and managing stress to improve your overall heart health. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please consult your cardiologist for further evaluation and management.

I'm concerned because my blood pressure is 140, and I've been experiencing strange sensations in my heart. Sometimes it's like palpitations, and other times it feels as if my heart might stop beating. I've already done an ECG, and it came back normal, so my doctor prescribed me Met XL 25 for my BP. Does a normal ECG mean my heart is okay? Should I be worried about these symptoms, or are they serious? What should I do next?
Your BP is 140 and you are experiencing a weird feeling in your heart, sometimes palpitations, and sometimes feeling like your heart will stop beating. You have done an ECG which came out normal. Your doctor has prescribed Met XL 25 for your BP. ECG being normal indicates that your heart is functioning normally. However, your symptoms of palpitations and strange feelings in the heart should not be ignored. Considering your symptoms and BP level, it is important to follow up with your doctor. In addition to Met XL 25 for BP, you can also take a beta-blocker like Atenolol 25mg to help with palpitations and irregular heartbeats. It is important to monitor your BP regularly and make lifestyle changes such as reducing salt intake, exercising regularly, and managing stress to improve your heart health.
