I'm feeling some discomfort with a bit of pain and gas on my left side. I've attached my ECG report. Could you take a look at it and let me know if everything seems normal? Also, how can I tell the difference between gas issues and heart-related pain?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
To distinguish between gas pain and heart pain, gas pain is often described as a sharp, jabbing pain that may move around and is usually accompanied by bloating or burping. Heart pain, on the other hand, is typically a dull, pressure-like discomfort that may radiate to the arm, neck, or jaw, and is often associated with other symptoms like shortness of breath or sweating. If you are experiencing persistent or severe chest pain, it is important to seek medical attention for further evaluation and management. In the meantime, you can try taking an over-the-counter antacid like Tums for gas relief.

View allI'm feeling this sharp pain in the upper left part of my chest every time I cough or yawn, and it's got me worried. Sometimes, it also feels really tight in that area, even when I'm not doing anything. Can you tell me what's going on?
The sharp pain and tightness in your chest could be due to muscle strain, especially around the rib cage, or it could be related to heartburn or even anxiety. However, if the pain persists or worsens, its important to consult a doctor to rule out any serious issues like heart conditions or lung problems.

I've been feeling really uneasy since I had a stent put in about three weeks ago after a heart attack. Even though I'm vegetarian and don't smoke or drink, I still had blockages in my heart arteries. They put a stent in one blockage, but for the others, theyre just relying on medication. Now Ive got this weird heaviness and tightness in my chest, and it feels like something's moving or pinching around my heart sometimes. It's really uncomfortable and I can't focus on much because of it. I'm worried if this is a normal feeling after a stent or if maybe there are more blockages causing this. Could you tell me what might be going on or what I should do about these sensations? I'm in Canada if that helps.
could be due to various reasons, including post-stent surgery effects or potential issues with other blockages in your arteries. Given your recent heart attack and stent placement, it's important to follow up with your healthcare provider for a thorough evaluation. They may need to assess your current symptoms, perform additional tests such as an ECG or echocardiogram, and adjust your medication regimen if necessary. In the meantime, to alleviate your discomfort and improve your symptoms, you can consider taking medications such as: - Aspirin (e.g., Bayer Aspirin) 81mg daily to prevent blood clot formation - Clopidogrel (e.g., Plavix) 75mg daily to prevent blood clots and stent thrombosis - Atorvastatin (e.g., Lipitor) 40-80mg daily to lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of further blockages - Ramipril (e.g., Altace) 2.5-10mg daily to manage blood pressure and protect the heart - Metoprolol (e.g., Lopressor) 25-100mg twice daily to control heart rate and blood pressure It's essential to adhere to your prescribed medication regimen, follow a heart-healthy diet, engage in regular physical activity as tolerated, manage stress, and attend cardiac rehabilitation if recommended by your healthcare provider. If your symptoms persist or worsen, seek immediate medical attention or contact your healthcare provider for further guidance. Take care of yourself and prioritize your heart health.

I recently got my dad an ECG because he's been having some mild blood pressure issues and he's on 2.5mg Amlodipine tablets. When I checked the report, I noticed it mentioned sinus tachycardia, abnormal left axis deviation, and left anterior fascicular block. I know we're seeing the doctor tomorrow, but I'm a bit anxious and can't wait until then. Any idea if this sounds alright or if there's anything I should be worried about?
Sinus tachycardia, abnormal left axis deviation, and left anterior fascicular block are findings that may indicate some issues with the heart's electrical activity. Sinus tachycardia refers to a faster than normal heart rate, while abnormal left axis deviation and left anterior fascicular block are specific patterns seen on an ECG that may suggest certain heart conditions. Considering your father's mild blood pressure and current medication of 2.5mg amlip tablets, it's important to discuss these ECG findings with the doctor. They will be able to provide a thorough evaluation and recommend any necessary treatment or further testing. In the meantime, it would be advisable to ensure your father continues taking his prescribed medication as directed. Additionally, monitoring his blood pressure regularly and maintaining a healthy lifestyle with a balanced diet and regular exercise can also be beneficial for his overall heart health.
