Question 1

I'm kind of worried because I'm experiencing this heaviness in my chest and sometimes have trouble breathing. Plus, there's this pain that hits suddenly, not all the time, but it can come out of nowhere. Should I be concerned?

Accepted Answer

The intermittent heaviness in your chest, breathing difficulties, and sudden pains may indicate underlying conditions such as angina, acid reflux, asthma, or anxiety attacks; to determine the cause, consult a cardiologist or a primary care physician for a thorough evaluation, including a physical examination, electrocardiogram (ECG), and possibly imaging tests like an echocardiogram or a chest X-ray.

Question 2

Ive been experiencing some pain in the heart area of my chest whenever I bend backwards and raise my hands. It just started this morning. Yesterday, I was doing deep breathing exercises for PMR and some physical workouts. Do you think there's an issue if I use a spray like Volini on that area?

Accepted Answer

Applying Volini spray on the chest area for chest pain is not recommended, especially if the pain is in the heart area and is triggered by specific movements. It is important to rule out any underlying heart issues before using any topical pain relief medication. I recommend you to consult a doctor for proper evaluation and diagnosis.

Question 3

I'm experiencing heaviness and palpitations in my chest along with heartburn. I've gone through several tests like ECG, Echo, stress TMT, and stress MPI, and they all came back normal. But I still feel these symptoms sometimes and have visited many cardiologists without finding a solution. They say it's anxiety, yet I sleep well at night. Do you have any advice or suggestions for further tests? And is it okay if I drink chamomile tea at night?

Accepted Answer

It's good that you have undergone various cardiac tests which have come back normal. Since your symptoms are still persisting, it is possible that anxiety could be contributing to your symptoms. In addition to managing stress and anxiety, you can try over-the-counter antacids for heartburn relief. For palpitations, you can try taking a magnesium supplement. However, it's important to consult with a doctor before starting any new supplement. As for chamomile tea, it is generally considered safe for most people and can help with relaxation. You can try drinking chamomile tea in the evening to help with anxiety and promote better sleep. Start with a low dose and see how your body reacts to it. If your symptoms continue or worsen, it may be helpful to consult with a gastroenterologist to rule out any gastrointestinal issues that could be contributing to your symptoms.
