I'm feeling really anxious because my heartbeat keeps increasing suddenly, and I get this chest pain. I had an echo test, and it came back normal. I also did Holter monitoring, which showed my maximum heart rate was 141, the minimum was 59, and the average was 80. What could be going on with me, and what should I do next?

Your symptoms of increased heartbeat, ghabrahat (anxiety), and chest pain could be due to anxiety or a heart condition. Since your echo and halter monitoring results are normal, it is less likely to be a serious heart issue. To manage your symptoms, you can try taking a beta-blocker medication like Metoprolol (brand name: Lopressor) at a low dose of 25mg once daily. This can help control your heart rate and reduce the feelings of palpitations and chest pain. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques such as deep breathing exercises, yoga, or meditation can also help alleviate anxiety symptoms. It is important to stay hydrated, get regular exercise, and maintain a healthy diet to support your overall heart health. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm really concerned about this situation. I recently experienced chest pain and pain in my left hand, so I went to the doctor and had a TMT test done. The results came back positive for exercise-induced myocardial ischemia. What's confusing is that I had a CT Coronary Angiogram back in 2019 and everything was normal then. Could you help me understand what this might mean for my heart health now? I've attached my TMT and Angiogram reports for reference.

I'm really worried about my brother. He had a heart attack in March 2017, and it turned out he had a 100% blockage in a left artery. He's been taking meds like planep 25mg, sexeloxon, and roustor gold10 to help with this. I'm just wondering, can medication actually remove the blockage, or is that not possible? And how do we even check if the blockage has improved or if it's still completely blocked?
To check if the blockage has been reduced or is still at 100%, he can undergo a diagnostic test called a coronary angiography. This procedure will provide detailed images of the arteries and can show if there has been any improvement in the blockage. It is important to follow up with his cardiologist for further evaluation and management."
