I'm feeling a bit worried because I did ECG, echo, TMT, and a CT angiography back in November 2021, and everything turned out normal back then. But now I'm dealing with chest pain again from time to time, and I've got some acidity issues too. I'm wondering, is it necessary for me to repeat those tests? If so, how long should I wait before doing them again?

In your case, since you are experiencing chest pain again along with acidity issues, it would be advisable to consult with your doctor for further evaluation. The doctor may recommend medications to manage your acidity and chest pain symptoms. For acidity, you can take antacids like Omeprazole 20mg once a day before breakfast. For chest pain, you can take Paracetamol 500mg as needed for pain relief. If the symptoms persist or worsen, a follow-up with your doctor may be necessary for a reassessment.

I've just got the COVAXIN and I'm a 21-year-old male at 80kg and 165cm. Since getting the shot, I've been feeling some discomfort in my chest area. I've been checking my heart rate, and it's averaging around 100 bpm, but I've also seen it spike to 110, 120, and even 130. I'm starting to get a bit worried about what this means. What should I do?

I'm really worried because I had Covid back in November 2020 and even though I got better with home quarantine, I've been having these palpitations. I was on Prolomet XL 12.5 for three months, but it was stopped and I don't have any other health issues. My weight is 85 kg and I'm 5 ft 7 in. Lately, I find myself googling symptoms a lot and after Covid, a few palpitations really made me anxious, and I think I've developed this fear of heart issues. Between December and April, I had my ECG and 2D ECHO done twice and a 24-hour Holter monitoring, all of which came back normal. But now, for the past couple of days, I've been experiencing a little indigestion. Today, after lunch, I felt a mild pain around my heart, though it disappeared after a few seconds. Could this just be my anxiety, or should I get my heart checked out more thoroughly? Your advice would mean a lot.

Based on your history of palpitations post-Covid and your current symptoms of indigestion and mild pain in the heart area, along with normal ECG, 2D ECHO, and 24-hour Holter monitoring results, it is more likely that your symptoms are related to anxiety rather than a cardiac issue. To address your symptoms of anxiety and cardiophobia, I recommend continuing with lifestyle modifications such as regular exercise, stress management techniques, and maintaining a healthy diet. Additionally, you can consider therapy or counseling to help manage your anxiety. If your symptoms persist or worsen, you can discuss with your healthcare provider about starting a medication such as Escitalopram 10mg once daily to help with anxiety symptoms. However, it is important to continue monitoring your symptoms and follow up with your doctor regularly.
