I'm really worried because I've been having this chest pain for the last 40 days. It used to be constant, but now it just comes and goes. I feel this heaviness in my left chest, and then it moves to the right. Sometimes there's this sharp pinch that lasts like two seconds, and I'm also burping a lot when I sit down. I've already done an ECG, which I've attached. Can you give me any advice or suggest any medication?

Based on your symptoms and ECG findings, it is important to rule out any cardiac issues. However, considering the description of your pain and symptoms, it could also be related to acid reflux or gastritis. I recommend starting with an antacid medication like Omeprazole 20mg once daily before breakfast for at least 2 weeks. Additionally, you can take Simethicone for relief from burping. It is important to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.

I'm really worried about how sudden anxiety and a spike in blood pressure after getting some shocking news could cause a heart attack. Is this something that can actually happen, and how would I know if it's a real risk for me or someone I care about?

Sudden anxiety and high blood pressure can potentially increase the risk of acute cardiac events, including cardiac arrest. It is important to manage anxiety and blood pressure to reduce this risk. In such situations, medications like Atenolol can be used to control blood pressure and anxiety. The typical dosage of Atenolol for high blood pressure is 25-100 mg per day, as prescribed by a doctor.

I'm looking at my report and it notes that I have a sinus rhythm with a heart rate of 81 and marked right axis deviation. I'm a bit anxious and just want to understand if this is normal or if there's something I should be concerned about. Could you help clarify what this means for my health?

report is not normal.. right axis deviation is of serious underlying pathology.AN ECHO is advised and cardiac opinion..probable diagnosis could be right ventricular hypertrophy, rt bundle branch block embolism, lung diseases,hyperkalemia and septal defects...
