I'm really concerned because I've been having upper back and chest pain along with shortness of breath for the last 10 months. Sometimes my heart palpitations get really intense. There's also this pain in my left chest that travels down to my left hand. Ive done multiple ECGs, a 2D Echo, and a treadmill test, and everything came back normal. My LDL was high at 276 but it's under control now. I also checked in with a lung doctor and even got an X-ray, which was also normal. What puzzles me is that I have no trouble when doing activities like cycling, swimming, or walking. No doctor has been able to pinpoint what's going on, so I'm really looking for some guidance. Any ideas on what could be causing these symptoms?

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms related to your heart and cardiovascular system. Given that your ECG, D Echo, and TMT tests have come back normal, but you are still experiencing chest pain, shortness of breath, and heart palpitations, it may be worth considering a medication like Atorvastatin to help further control your LDL levels and reduce the risk of cardiovascular issues. Additionally, considering your symptoms, a medication like Metoprolol can help in managing heart palpitations and chest pain. However, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider to discuss these medication options and determine the appropriate dosage for your specific condition.

View allI'm experiencing this kind of strong pounding pulse throughout my body. It's not really fast, just really strong. I can even see it in my neck when I look in the mirror and I feel it in my fingers and hands when I touch something. I also notice a visible pulse in my stomach and when I'm lying down, my head kind of bobs up and down with my pulse. Right now, even as I'm sitting in bed with my laptop, the pulse is shaking my laptop. This began shortly after I had some issues with anxiety and possible heart problems, but I've been to the hospital multiple times and they've ruled out any heart issues. It often gets triggered after heavy meals and this has been happening for about a year now. What could be causing this?
A really strong, pounding pulse all over your body, even visible in the neck and stomach, can be a concerning symptom. Since heart issues have been ruled out, this may be related to anxiety. To help manage this symptom, you can try taking Propranolol (Inderal) 10-20mg as needed to help reduce the pounding pulse and physical symptoms of anxiety. It is important to consult with your doctor before starting any new medication.

I'm really concerned because my Echo report says IAS and IVS are intact, and I'm not entirely sure what that means in relation to my health. My blood pressure's been high at 150100, and I'm just trying to figure out if that's connected somehow. Could you help me understand what's going on?
echo shows IAS abd IVS intact means both IAS and IVS are not damaged...Antihypertensives are indicated for the control of hypertension..ACE inhibitors are advised
