Question 1

I'm really worried because last year I had strong issues with acidity, anxiety, and headaches. I even got an ECG in June 2018, and everything was normal back then. But since January 2019, I've been experiencing these sudden strong heartbeats that feel like a thump in my chest, even when Im just walking around. It's really upsetting and makes me anxious for days, thinking about why it's happening. Lately, I cant sleep at night and sometimes feel really empty and lacking enthusiasm. I saw a cardiologist who prescribed me Inderal, but Im just trying to understand what could be causing all this. Any idea what's going on with me?

Inderal can help control your physical symptoms, and addressing underlying anxiety through therapy, relaxation techniques, and lifestyle changes should improve your overall well-being. If youre feeling stuck, consider discussing these issues further with your doctor or a mental health professional.

Question 3

Accepted Answer

Experiencing palpitations or flickering in the chest for brief periods, despite normal ECG, echo, and TMT results, is often benign and can be related to factors such as stress, caffeine intake, anxiety, or hormonal fluctuations. While these sensations can be unsettling, they are usually not a cause for concern if cardiac tests are normal. To manage these symptoms, consider reducing caffeine and alcohol intake, practicing stress-relief techniques such as mindfulness or yoga, and ensuring adequate hydration and sleep. If the palpitations persist or worsen, consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation and to discuss additional monitoring, such as a Holter monitor, to capture intermittent episodes.

Question 5

I'm curious about whether there's a connection between having a hysterectomyspecifically when the ovaries are still healthyand the potential for heart-related issues down the line. Can you shed some light on this for me?

Accepted Answer

The removal of the uterus, known as a hysterectomy, is not directly correlated with an increased risk of heart-related diseases in the future, as long as the ovaries are functioning normally. However, there may be an increased risk of cardiovascular disease if both the uterus and ovaries are removed before natural menopause, due to the sudden decrease in estrogen levels. If the ovaries are intact and functioning normally after a hysterectomy, the risk of heart-related diseases is not significantly increased.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

It is important to seek immediate medical attention as these symptoms could be indicative of a heart-related issue. In the meantime, you can take Aspirin 325mg to help reduce the risk of a heart attack. Please chew the tablet for faster absorption.
