I'm feeling some chest pain above my breasts on both sides, and it's been happening on and off for the past week. It's not constant, but I've noticed it twice now. Could this be related to gas or could it be something more serious like a heart issue? I'm pretty worried and would appreciate any insight you could give me.

View allI'm trying to figure out which beta blocker is better for dealing with anxiety and arrhythmia between propranolol and metoprolol succinate. Could you help me understand the differences? I'm curious if one is more effective than the other or has fewer side effects. Can you advise on what might be best for me?
Regarding anxiety and arrhythmia, both propranolol and metoprolol succinate are commonly used beta blockers. However, propranolol is typically preferred for anxiety due to its additional effects on reducing physical symptoms of anxiety such as tremors and palpitations. On the other hand, metoprolol succinate is often preferred for arrhythmias due to its specific effects on the heart's electrical activity. For anxiety, propranolol is usually prescribed at a dose of 20-40mg taken 2-3 times daily as needed. For arrhythmias, metoprolol succinate is typically prescribed at a dose of 25-100mg once daily. It's important to consult with your healthcare provider to determine the most appropriate medication and dosage for your specific condition.

I recently had a TMT and an ECG done, and the ECG is attached for reference. The TMT report mentioned no ischemia, but I'm still getting some random chest pains, especially when I'm lost in thought. I've been given an antacid for it. How long is the TMT result considered valid?
The validity of a TMT (Treadmill Test) can vary depending on individual circumstances, but generally, it is valid for 1-2 years for individuals with a low risk of heart disease. Since your TMT report shows "No Ischemia" and you are experiencing random chest pain, it is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation. In the meantime, you can continue taking the antacid as prescribed. If the chest pain persists or worsens, please consult your doctor for further assessment and management.
