I'm dealing with anxiety that's causing me to have chest pain, and sometimes my blood pressure goes way up. I've already done an ECG, 2D Echo, and some blood tests because of the pain. Could you take a look at my Echo report and give me some advice? I'm really worried about my health right now.

Based on your symptoms and tests, it seems like you are experiencing anxiety-induced chest pain and fluctuations in blood pressure. It's important to manage your anxiety to alleviate these symptoms. I recommend starting with an anti-anxiety medication such as Xanax (alprazolam) 0.5mg twice daily. Additionally, to help with chest pain, you can take Ibuprofen 400mg as needed for pain relief. It's also important to practice relaxation techniques such as deep breathing exercises and mindfulness meditation to help reduce anxiety levels. Regular exercise and a healthy diet can also contribute to overall well-being.

View allI'm a bit worried because I got an abnormal ECG report. It mentioned something about "RS inversion" in the area between V1 and V2. Can you help me understand what this means? Should I be concerned about this finding on my ECG?
In the ECG report, the findings indicate: 1. Sinus rhythm 2. RS inversion in the area between V1 and V2 The RS inversion in the anterior leads V1 and V2 could be indicative of various conditions such as myocardial infarction, myocardial ischemia, or other cardiac issues.

I've been wondering about the medication I'm on since I was diagnosed back in January 2013 with a 70% blockage in the LAD due to a rupture plaque. For the past three years, I've been taking Telma H80, Nebicard 5, and Ecosprin av75 daily. I'm curious, how long will I need to continue taking these meds? Are there any additional precautions I should be considering? I walk a lot, about 6-7 km daily, and have no trouble climbing up 3-4 floors of stairs. I'm 40 years old, with a weight of 102 kg, and my blood reports are normal. What do you think?
You have to loose weight and maintain healthy BMI even though the cholesterol is normal for high BMI there is always risk of stroke better to continue to the medication till you are completely normal and healthy in all aspects

I'm having some health anxiety these past few months, especially about my heart, like cardiophobia, I guess. Because of this, I've been experiencing pain in my left hand, from my arm down to my fingers. I'm really worried and can't help but wonder, is this just anxiety causing it, or is there something else going on?
Health anxiety, or cardiophobia, can indeed cause physical symptoms like pain in the left arm, as anxiety can manifest with muscle tension and heightened sensitivity to bodily sensations. Since you have had normal cardiac tests and evaluations, it's likely that anxiety is contributing to your symptoms. It's important to address your anxiety through appropriate methods such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), relaxation techniques, regular exercise, and possibly medication if recommended by a healthcare provider. Consulting with a mental health professional can provide you with tools to manage your anxiety and reduce the physical symptoms you're experiencing.
