I'm having chest pain for the past two years and have already done tests like HLA B27 by PCR, ECG, 2D Echo, TMT, and a CT Coronary Angiography. All the results have come back normal, but I'm still dealing with this left-sided chest pain. My recent blood tests show HS CRP is 9.7, Lipoprotein A is 35.09, SGOT is 70.9, SGPT is 88.4, and GGT is 80.9. Now my doctor wants me to do a 2D Echo with a GLS test. What do you think is going on? Is there something specific my doctor might be looking for with this new test?

View allI've noticed this sharp pain in my chest right after I've had lunch, and it's happened a couple of times now. The pain only sticks around for about 30 seconds, but it's like someone's pinching my heart. I also realized I didn't drink any water after eating. Could this be connected to not drinking water, or is it something else I should be worried about?
It sounds like you may be experiencing episodes of heartburn or acid reflux. To help alleviate this discomfort, you can try taking an antacid medication such as Tums (calcium carbonate) 500mg as needed after meals. Additionally, it is important to stay hydrated throughout the day by drinking water regularly. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is recommended to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I've been dealing with a super fast heartbeat whenever I lie down in bed for the last 56 days. It's weird because I don't feel any pain or like my chest is congested, but I do feel a lot of anxiety. I'm 24, my height is 5'9", and I weigh about 80kgs. Whenever I'm walking or sitting, my heartbeat seems normal; it's just when I'm laying down that it speeds up. Do you have any idea what could be going on? Is it something serious?
It sounds like you may be experiencing a condition called orthostatic intolerance, where your heart rate increases when you change positions, such as lying down. This can be due to various reasons such as dehydration, anemia, or autonomic nervous system dysfunction. However, it's important to rule out any underlying heart conditions. I recommend you consult a doctor for a thorough evaluation. In the meantime, you can try increasing your fluid intake and consuming electrolytes. If symptoms persist or worsen, please seek medical advice promptly.

I'm a 20-year-old guy, and I've been dealing with some health stuff thats freaking me out a bit. Out of nowhere, Ill get hit with high blood pressure, anxiety, and then it just snowballs into feeling nauseous, sweating, and I start having trouble breathing. It's really unsettling, and Im starting to worry. What do you think could be going on, and what should I do about it?
You can take Metoprolol (brand name: Lopressor) for high blood pressure and anxiety. The recommended dosage is 25-100 mg per day. For nausea, you can take Ondansetron (brand name: Zofran) 4-8 mg every 8 hours as needed. Additionally, you can use Albuterol inhaler (brand name: ProAir) for breathlessness as needed. It is important to monitor your symptoms closely and follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
