I'm feeling like there's an earthquake happening inside me all day long and I've got this little chest pain that's worrying me. I went to a cardiologist a few days back, and they did an ECG and an echo, both of which turned out normal. They prescribed some anxiety meds for the night, but they haven't helped at all and I'm still feeling the same. I'm really anxious about whether this could cause any serious heart issues in the long run. Do you have any advice or solutions that could help me out?

It sounds like you may be experiencing palpitations along with chest pain. Since your ECG and echo were normal, it is less likely to be related to a serious heart problem. However, persistent symptoms should be further evaluated. I recommend trying a beta-blocker medication such as Metoprolol (25-50mg) once daily to help with the palpitations and chest pain. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques such as deep breathing exercises or meditation may also help alleviate your symptoms. If the symptoms persist, it would be best to follow up with your cardiologist for further evaluation and management.

View allCan ECG detect heart blockage?
An ECG Can Recognize the Signs of Blocked Arteries. But for further accurecy a CT coronary angiogram can reveal plaque buildup and identify blockages in the arteries, which can lead to a heart attack.

I'm worried about my health since my hs-CRP is 3.60 and CRP is 4.20. Is this something I should be really concerned about and get treated right away? I had an angiogram back in December 2020, and everything came out normal then. Also, I've been dealing with high blood pressure and diabetes. Can you help me understand what these numbers mean?
Given your history of high blood pressure, diabetes, and previous angiogram, it is important to manage your CRP levels to reduce the risk of further complications. I recommend starting a statin medication like Atorvastatin 20mg daily to help lower your CRP levels and reduce inflammation in the arteries. Additionally, you should continue to manage your high blood pressure with medications like Amlodipine 5mg daily and control your diabetes with medications like Metformin 1000mg twice daily. Regular exercise, a healthy diet, and weight management are also important in managing inflammation and reducing cardiovascular risk.

I'm dealing with heart issues and also have diabetes. Can I safely take Ramitorva capsules along with my current medication, Cetanil 10mg?
Yes, you can take Ramitorva capsules (which contain Ramipril and Atorvastatin) along with Cetanil 10mg. Ramitorva helps in controlling blood pressure and cholesterol levels, while Cetanil (Cetirizine) is an antihistamine used for allergies. Just make sure to follow the prescribed dosage for each medication.
