I'm really worried about my health. I've been dealing with chest discomfort, gastric issues, and health anxiety for the last two years. Last year, I went through several tests like ECG, echo, TMT, blood tests, and even checked troponin levels twice, but everything came back normal. I also had deficiencies in vitamin D and B12, for which I took injections and tablets. Now, for the past two weeks, I've been feeling that high gastric indigestion and chest discomfort again. Yesterday, I did another ECG, and it showed a slight ST depression in V5, but I was really anxious at the time. Could this be just anxiety, or is there something serious going on? I'm really concerned about this.

It's good to know that your previous cardiac tests and blood work have come back normal. Based on the symptoms you have described and the slight ST Depression in V5 on your recent ECG, it is important to consider both physical and psychological factors. The chest discomfort and gastric indigestion could be related to your anxiety, but it is also important to rule out any potential cardiac issues. I would recommend starting with a medication like omeprazole 20mg once daily for your gastric issues. Additionally, for anxiety, you can try taking a medication like escitalopram 10mg once daily. However, it is crucial to follow up with a cardiologist for a thorough evaluation and to discuss the ECG findings. They may recommend further tests or adjustments to your treatment plan. It's also important to continue managing your anxiety through relaxation techniques, regular exercise, and counseling support. Please continue to monitor your symptoms and seek medical attention if they worsen or if you experience any new concerning symptoms

View allCan a heart stent be taken out without needing bypass surgery I'm a bit worried about this and want to understand if it's possible or what the options are
Once a stent is placed, it isn’t usually removed; bypass is only considered if stent fails or blockage recurs.

I've been experiencing chest pain on the left side for about 8 months now. I've had an ECG and an Echo, and both came back normal. I even did a TMT test, and it was negative too, even though it showed a heart problem. But I'm still having this chest pain. Could you shed some light on what might be going on? It's really concerning.

I'm currently taking Telma 40mg twice a day as my doctor recommended, but I accidentally bought Telma 20 instead. To make up for it, I've been taking two Telma 20 tablets each time. Is this okay, or did I mess up? Should I be concerned about any risks with doubling up like this?
No, as long as the dosage remains the same, it should not cause any significant issues.
