I'm experiencing a sharp pain in my chest area that worsens when I breathe in, and it radiates into my back. I'm also having heart palpitations. Could you help me understand what's going on? I'm really worried about this.

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of a heart condition. It is important to seek medical attention immediately. In the meantime, you can take Aspirin 325mg to help with any potential heart-related issues.

View allLately, Ive been noticing that every time I stand up or go for a walk, my heart starts racing to around 130bpm, and it doesnt calm down until I sit or lie down. My chest hurts, and my legs feel weak and shaky during these times too. I did have an iron deficiency last year, but it never made me feel like this, and even though it's still slightly low, my recent results show it's getting better. Ive had an ECG done, and that seemed fine, so I'm wondering if I should be seeing a cardiologist. Could this be something serious?
Yes, given your symptoms of a racing heart rate when standing or walking, chest pain, and weakness in your legs, it would be prudent to visit a cardiologist. These symptoms may indicate a condition called postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) or other cardiovascular issues that require further evaluation. Even though your ECG is fine and your iron levels are improving, it is essential to rule out any underlying heart conditions or dysautonomia. A cardiologist can perform additional tests, such as a Holter monitor, echocardiogram, or tilt table test, to better understand the cause of your symptoms and recommend an appropriate treatment plan.

I'm really concerned because I just found out I have a non-specific T wave abnormality and my blood pressure is pretty high. Is this something I should be worried about? Can I continue with my current treatment, or do I need to consider changing it?
Non specific T wave abnormality with high blood pressure can be concerning, as it may indicate underlying heart issues. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation. In terms of treatment, it would depend on your overall health condition and the specific medications you are currently taking. If you are already on medication for high blood pressure, your doctor may adjust the dosage or add additional medications to better control your blood pressure and reduce the risk of complications. It is important to follow your doctor's recommendations for treatment and lifestyle modifications to manage your condition effectively.
