I'm wondering about something. I had an angioplasty last year and got a stent placed. Lately, I've been experiencing these weird palpitations every night as I try to sleep, but I don't actually feel them in my chest. It's strange because they're more noticeable in my jaw. My doctor prescribed Prolomet XL 25, which I've been taking for about four months now, even though I don't have high blood pressure. I'm really curious if this is something that's going to stick around forever or if there's a way to get rid of it. What's your take on this?

The palpitations you're experiencing, particularly at night and localized to your jaw, may be related to anxiety, stress, or a cardiac issue; given your history of angioplasty and stent placement, consult your cardiologist to rule out any underlying cardiac concerns, and consider adjusting your Prolomet XL 25 dosage or exploring alternative treatments, such as beta blockers or anti-anxiety medications, to alleviate symptoms.

I'm still dealing with chest pain whenever I talk loudly or shout, especially when I'm angry. It starts spreading and only eases when I lie down or someone rubs my back. Even climbing stairs brings on the pain. I've had all the tests, including a CT Angio, and everything came back normal, with the cardiologist saying there's no heart issue. But this problem isn't going away. I'm feeling really confused about what steps to take next. Should I consider getting a more in-depth check-up or maybe visit a bigger hospital?

I've been having this odd pinching sensation on my left side, and my doctor suggested getting a 2D Echo and an ECG. They said everything came back normal, but now I'm finding it harder to breathe. I'm not really sure what's going on. Can anyone offer a second opinion on this? I've got my 2D Echo and ECG reports attached.

Based on the symptoms you are experiencing and the normal results of your 2d Echo and Ecg, it is possible that you may be dealing with a respiratory issue. I recommend trying an inhaler such as Salbutamol (Ventolin) 100mcg, 2 puffs as needed for shortness of breath. Additionally, you can consider using a steroid inhaler like Fluticasone (Flovent) 100mcg, 2 puffs twice a day to help with any underlying inflammation in the airways. It would also be beneficial to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and possible pulmonary function tests.
