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.

View allI'm really worried about my mom. She's been having this pain on the left side of her chest, and it spreads to her shoulder blade and down her arm. It's been really tough for her because she also feels uncomfortable when she's swallowing, and the pain gets worse when she takes a deep breath. She's not dealing with a cold, cough, or fever, but even with the meds she's taking, nothing seems to be helping. Could you please help me understand what might be going on and how we can treat it?

I'm 36 and dealing with high cholesterol, but my heart checkup in May 2019 was all clear except for that. Just a couple of days ago, I suddenly got dizzy and sweaty during dinner, but I didn't have chest pain or trouble breathing. When I went to the hospital, they did two ECGs a couple of hours apart, and the doctor noticed some changes. They said my blood Troponin levels were negative though. Should I be worried about these changes in the ECG? Is it something I need to look into further?
Based on the information provided, it is important to follow up on the changes noted in your ECG to rule out any potential cardiac issues. The presence of dizziness and sweating, along with ECG changes, warrants further evaluation. I recommend consulting with a cardiologist for a thorough assessment and appropriate management. In the meantime, to help manage your high cholesterol, you can consider taking Atorvastatin (brand name Lipitor) at a dose of 10-20 mg once daily, as prescribed by your healthcare provider."
