I'm really worried because even though I had an ECG, Echo, and a chest X-ray done about three months ago and they all showed normal results, including my SPO2 and pulse rate, I'm still experiencing pain in my left chest and left hand regularly for the past 6 to 7 months. The ECG did mention sinus tachycardia with sinus arrhythmia and a low T wave in V6. I also had Bell's palsy about a year ago but have completely recovered since then. Could all of this be connected somehow? What should I do next?

Given that your recent ECG, Echocardiogram, and chest X-ray were normal but you are still experiencing persistent left chest and hand pain, it is crucial to further investigate the cause of your symptoms. Sinus tachycardia and sinus arrhythmia noted on your ECG can sometimes be benign, but persistent pain warrants further evaluation. You should follow up with a cardiologist for a thorough review, and they may recommend additional tests like a stress test or Holter monitoring. Additionally, it might be beneficial to consider non-cardiac causes of your pain such as musculoskeletal issues or gastrointestinal problems like acid reflux. Managing stress and anxiety can also help alleviate symptoms. Please ensure you consult your healthcare provider to explore these options and manage your symptoms effectively.

I'm a bit worried about my heart health after my MI last January 2018. I was hospitalized and prescribed Elaxim, but no surgeries or stent were necessary. For the past year and a half, I've been taking Clavix AS 150 and Tonact 80mg, but recently I've been having a pricking pain in my chest and sometimes muscle cramps. I saw another cardiologist who suggested switching to Remetor CV and Nuroking D3 since my vitamin D and B12 levels are low. Are these new meds going to be effective for me? How does my heart compare to someone with a normal heart now? I also did a TMT a month ago and walked for 14.9 minutes. What should I be careful about? I drink occasionally, like once every 15 days, is that okay? I dont smoke. Also, I get anxious trying to tell apart a stomach pain from a heart pain since I panic every time I feel those chest pains. What should I look out for?
The medications Remetor CV and Nuroking D3 prescribed by your cardiologist are appropriate for your condition, especially considering your low vitamin D and B12 levels. Remetor CV contains a combination of medications to help manage your heart health, and Nuroking D3 will help improve your vitamin D levels. It is essential to follow your doctor's advice and take the shots as recommended to address your nutritional deficiencies. In comparison to a normal person's heart, your heart health may require closer monitoring and specific medications to manage the aftermath of a heart attack. It is crucial to continue taking your prescribed medications, follow a heart-healthy diet, engage in regular physical activity as tolerated, and attend regular follow-up appointments with your cardiologist. Regarding your lifestyle, it is generally safe to consume alcohol occasionally, as long as it is in moderation and does not interfere with your medications or overall health. However, it is advisable to limit alcohol intake and be mindful of any adverse effects it may have on your heart health. To differentiate between gastric pain and heart pain, it is essential to pay attention to the characteristics of the pain. Heart-related chest pain is often described as pressure, tightness, or squeezing sensation that may radiate to the arms, neck, jaw, or back. It is usually triggered by physical exertion or emotional stress and may be accompanied by shortness of breath, sweating, nausea, or lightheadedness. Gastric pain, on the other hand, is typically associated with digestion, may worsen after meals, and can be accompanied by symptoms like bloating, burping, or acid reflux. If you experience chest pain and are unsure of the cause, it is always best to seek medical attention promptly to rule out any serious cardiac issues.

My fiance is just 22 and she's started having symptoms of bradycardia for about a month now. Her heart rate is averaging between 40 and 47 bpm, which seems super low, and she's getting tired really fast. She even has syncope sometimes. Her heart's actually healthy otherwise, but the doctor thinks it might be something with her body's natural pacemaker. They've recommended a pacemaker, but we're really hoping for a cure instead. Is there anything else we can explore?
Symptomatic Bradycardia with a heart rate of 40-47 bpm and exhaustion can be concerning. In cases where a pacemaker is not desired, medication therapy can be considered. One common medication used to increase heart rate in cases of symptomatic Bradycardia is Atropine. The usual dosage for Atropine in adults is 0.5 to 1 mg IV every 3 to 5 minutes as needed, with a maximum dose of 3 mg. However, the use of Atropine should be carefully monitored by a healthcare professional. It is important to follow up with your doctor for proper evaluation and management of the condition.
