I'm trying to understand what it means when an ECG shows a probable normal early repolarization pattern with ST elevation. Is this something I should be worried about, or is it usually considered benign?

View allI've been having this thing where my chest hurts for just a second or two, and then I feel okay again, but it keeps happening. It's like every 45 minutes or so, especially after I eat or drink. I'm not really sure what's going on, and it's starting to worry me. What do you think I should do about it?
Intermittent chest pain can be concerning. Given your symptoms, here are some possible explanations and advice: *Possible Causes* 1. *Acid Reflux*: Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) can cause chest pain, especially after eating or drinking. 2. *Digestive Issues*: Swallowing air, eating too quickly, or having an underlying digestive condition like IBS can lead to chest pain. 3. *Musculoskeletal Issues*: Tight muscles or inflammation in the chest wall can cause brief, sharp pains. *What to Do* 1. *Stay Calm*: Your symptoms don't appear to be life-threatening, but it's essential to monitor them. 2. *Monitor Your Symptoms*: Keep a journal to track when the chest pain occurs, how long it lasts, and any potential triggers. 3. *Avoid Trigger Foods*: If you suspect acid reflux, try avoiding trigger foods like citrus fruits, tomatoes, chocolate, and spicy or fatty foods. 4. *Antacids or Acid Reducers*: Consider taking antacids or acid reducers like Tums, Rolaids, or Zantac to help alleviate acid reflux symptoms. 5. *Stay Hydrated*: Drink plenty of water throughout the day to help with digestion and reduce symptoms. *When to Seek Medical Attention* 1. *Severe Chest Pain*: If your chest pain becomes severe, lasts longer than a few seconds, or is accompanied by difficulty breathing, dizziness, or a cold sweat, seek immediate medical attention.

I've been having a bit of a worry for a while now. I'm 21 and recently went through getting an ECG done a few times, around 5 to 6 times at different hospitals, but none of them could get a proper reading. It's strange because I've never had any heart issues before. The doctors keep mentioning that my pulse rate seems to always be on the higher side. I'm stressing out because this issue made me fail medical exams for some government jobs. What could be causing this? Any suggestions on what steps I should take next? It's really starting to get to me.
It sounds like you may be experiencing a condition called sinus tachycardia, which is when your heart rate is consistently elevated. To help manage this, you can try taking a beta-blocker medication such as Metoprolol (25-50mg) once daily. This medication can help lower your heart rate and improve your symptoms. However, it's important to consult with a doctor to confirm the diagnosis and determine the appropriate treatment plan for your specific situation.

I'm currently taking Losanorm 25mg for hypertension. What situations warrant an increase in dosage? Could you please provide guidance on this?
The usual starting dose of Losanorm for hypertension is 25mg once daily. The maximum recommended dose is 100mg once daily. High doses of Losanorm may be required for severe cases of hypertension or if lower doses are not effective in controlling blood pressure. However, the specific conditions for high doses of Losanorm should be determined by your healthcare provider based on your individual medical history and response to the medication.
