I'm worried because I've been having chest pain for the past couple of days. It's not constant but comes and goes, and there's this burning sensation with it. Plus, my whole body just hurts. What could this mean?

Overall the possibility of a heart problem seems to be less but without doing any objective test, a heart problem can not be conclusively ruled out especially because now a days heart diseases have become common in young people. So please meet a cardiologist as early as possible and get yourself properly

I'm Aryan, age 24, and I've noticed that my heart rate goes up after I eat, usually below 90. Normally, my resting heart rate is between 65 and 72, but it climbs to 90 post-meal. I've had both an ECG and an echo, and everything turned out normal, but I'm still pretty anxious about it. Do you think I should see a gastroenterologist?

A heart rate increase after a meal, especially up to around 90 beats per minute, can be normal as your body works to digest food. Given that your ECG and echo are normal, it is less likely to be a heart-related issue. If you are experiencing significant anxiety about this, or if you have other gastrointestinal symptoms like bloating, discomfort, or indigestion, it might be helpful to consult a gastroenterologist. They can evaluate if there's a digestive-related cause for your symptoms and provide reassurance or treatment as needed.

I'm feeling really worried because I've been experiencing chest pain whenever I walk or exert myself. I had a TMT test done, and it was negative. They tried doing a PFT test, but it couldn't be performed. My X-ray came back normal, and the 2D echo showed 60. What could be causing these chest pains despite all these tests being normal? I'm really concerned about what might be happening.

For how long can we rely on the CT coronary angio results? My mom is 65, diabetic, and had one done in February 2020it all looked pretty normal back then, no plaque in the main artery and a calcium score of zero. Her recent ECG also came back normal and she's not having any symptoms, but we've found that she has mild pulmonary hypertension with a systolic pressure of 34 mmHg on a 2D echo. She's not taking any blood thinners right now. Do you think we should consider repeating the CT angio?

CT coronary angiography is a non-invasive imaging test that can provide detailed information about the coronary arteries. In your mother's case, since her CT angio done in Feb 2020 showed a fairly normal result with no plaque in the main artery and a calcium score of zero, it indicates a low risk of significant coronary artery disease at that time. Given that the recent ECG is normal and your mother has no complaints, the decision to repeat the CT angio should be based on her current symptoms, risk factors, and overall clinical condition. Mild pulmonary hypertension as seen in the 2D echo with a systolic pressure of 34 mmHg may not necessarily warrant a repeat CT angio unless there are new symptoms or concerns regarding her cardiac health. It is important to continue monitoring her condition regularly with follow-up visits to her healthcare provider, who can assess the need for any further investigations or adjustments to her treatment plan.
