I'm noticing this strange chest pain that only happens when I lie down to sleep. It's on the left side, and sometimes I even wake up in a sweat. This has been going on for about a week now. At first, I thought maybe it was just a muscle pull or something with my rib cage, but it's not going away. Interestingly, there's no pain when I'm up walking or sitting. I'm really struggling to sleep and have resorted to sitting and sleeping in an easy chair for the past five nights. I'm also managing high cholesterol at 290 with Temlistran 40 mg and taking Thyronorm 40. Could there be a connection here, or should I be worried about something else going on?

View allI've been worried about getting the COVID vaccine because of some heart issues. My father had an angiogram back in 2012, and though he's not on any medication now, I've occasionally felt mild heart pain that seems to go away after a bit. I'm really unsure about whether it's safe for me to get the vaccine given these concerns. Can you offer any advice on this? Is there a risk involved?
It is important to consult with a cardiologist before taking any decision regarding the Covid vaccination. However, based on the information provided, it is generally safe for individuals with a history of angiogram to receive the Covid vaccine. The benefits of vaccination in preventing severe illness and complications from Covid-19 outweigh the potential risks. It is recommended to take the vaccine to protect yourself from the virus. You can consider taking the vaccine like Covishield or Covaxin with the standard dosage schedule.

I'm wondering if having anxiety could affect how a procedure like angioplasty and stent placement goes. Since you're awake during it, could things like a fast pulse or high blood pressure from anxiety mess with the process? Is there any medication given to help calm you down?
Anxiety can indeed affect the angioplasty and stent placement procedure, as it can lead to an increase in heart rate and blood pressure which may impact the procedure. To help relax the patient and manage anxiety during the procedure, medications such as Midazolam or Diazepam may be given. These medications can help reduce anxiety, promote relaxation, and minimize any potential impact of anxiety on the procedure.

I'm 22 and dealing with some heart-related issues. I had my heart checked, and they found mild MVP. I was put on a beta blocker, but it hasn't really helped with the intense chest pain Ive been experiencing. They've now suggested Flavedon MR for the pain. Do you think that's the right route, or should I be considering other medication options? I'm just not sure what to do next.
For your chest pain related to mild MVP, Flavedon MR can be a suitable medication to try. It contains Trimetazidine and helps in improving blood flow to the heart muscle. The usual dosage is 35 mg twice daily. However, if you do not find relief with Flavedon MR, you can discuss with your doctor about alternative medications such as Ranolazine or Ivabradine which may be more effective for your chest pain associated with MVP.
