I'm experiencing this chest heaviness and heavy breathing whenever I walk or do any small physical activities, and it's been going on for about three weeks now. I already went to my GP about two weeks ago and was on Azithromycin for three days, but it didnt really help. Yesterday, I started feeling some chest pain right in the center, and when I consulted a cardiologist online, they said it wasn't cardiac pain. But this morning after a little activity post-breakfast, I felt the same heaviness and then a dull pain in the center of my chest. It only lasts about 2 seconds and then disappears for a minute. The pain doesn't get worse when I breathe deeply either. Just wondering what's going on and what I should do next. Any thoughts?

View allI did an ECG, echo, chest X-ray, and TMT about 2 months ago, and thankfully all the tests came back normal. Since then, Ive managed to get my blood pressure down to 12480. I'm 30 years old, a non-smoker, and I dont drink alcohol. Could you give me some advice on when I should consider repeating these tests?
Hi, since your previous tests were normal and you have controlled your blood pressure well, you can repeat the ECG, echo, chest x-ray, and TMT tests every 1-2 years for routine monitoring.

I've been having heart pain for the last 4 days and it's also spreading to my left hand and back. I recently got my ECG done and it showed a negative T wave. I'm getting worried about what this could mean. What should I do next?
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of a heart condition. Based on your description and the ECG report showing negative T waves, it is important to address this issue promptly. You may be experiencing angina or even a heart attack. It is crucial to seek immediate medical attention. You may be prescribed medications such as Aspirin (325mg) to help reduce the risk of blood clots and relieve chest pain. Additionally, medications like Nitroglycerin may be prescribed to help widen blood vessels and improve blood flow to the heart. Beta-blockers such as Metoprolol (25-50mg) may also be prescribed to help lower blood pressure and reduce strain on the heart. Please seek urgent medical attention to receive a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

I'm thinking about trying EECP therapy for my dad. He had a heart attack two years ago and he's got a stent in one artery, while the other two are clogged with 90% and 80% blockages. I've heard a lot of positive things about this natural bypass therapy, and some hospitals do offer it. But I'm just not sure about the results. Is it really effective? Or would angioplasty be the better option here?
EECP therapy can be a beneficial option for your father's condition. It is a non-invasive treatment that can help improve blood flow to the heart muscle by promoting the development of collateral circulation. However, in the case of significant blockages like 90% and 80% in his arteries, angioplasty may be a more suitable option to directly address the blockages. For the blockages your father has, angioplasty with stent placement may be recommended to open up the blocked arteries and improve blood flow to the heart. This procedure can help reduce symptoms and lower the risk of future heart-related complications. I recommend discussing these treatment options with your father's cardiologist to determine the most appropriate course of action based on his individual condition and medical history.
