I'm yawning a lot at strange times and it's happening quite often. I've also had some pain on the left side of my chest, along with discomfort in my jaw and left neck sometimes. Every now and then there's this stabbing pain between my shoulder blades. I've had heart tests and an X-ray done, and they didn't show anything wrong. Sometimes I also feel short of breath. I'm just trying to figure out what's going on. Any ideas?

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of anxiety or stress, which can manifest as excessive yawning, chest pain, jaw pain, neck pain, and stabbing pain between the shoulder blades. Breathlessness can also be a symptom of anxiety. I recommend trying to manage your stress levels through relaxation techniques, exercise, and possibly counseling. Additionally, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen for the pain. If symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

View allMy wife's TMT came back positive, but her echocardiogram and ECG results were normal. Her doctor suggested she get an angiogram. I'm trying to understand if this is the right step at her age, which is 46. Is it usual to go for an angiogram in such cases, or are there other things we should consider first?
The advice for angiogram given by the doctor seems appropriate considering your wife's TMT test being positive. An angiogram can provide detailed information about the blood flow to the heart and help in identifying any blockages in the arteries. Given her age of 46 years and the positive TMT result, it is important to further investigate to ensure proper diagnosis and treatment. I would recommend following the doctor's advice and proceeding with the angiogram to assess the heart's condition accurately.

I'm a bit concerned about some ECG results from my recent TMT test. The report came back normal, no signs of ischemia or arrhythmias, but I noticed some changes in the T wave on one of the pages. I brought it up with the cardiologist, and he dismissed it as non-specific. Still, I can't shake this uneasy feeling. I attached a resting ECG I took two hours after the TMT. Can you take a look and let me know if there's anything to worry about?
Nothing to worry it is normal, t wave presence is normal since the tmt test is also negative for ischaemia and arrytmia.Repeat ecg is advised after 2 weeks...

I'm a bit worried about my health right now. I've had hypertension for about 9 years and just found out there's an issue with my heart, something about left atrial enlargement. I'm experiencing symptoms like peripheral edema, dizziness, and even feeling faint sometimes. Is this something that can be reversed or might it turn out to be really serious?
Left atrial enlargement is a common complication of long-standing hypertension. While it may not be completely reversible, managing your blood pressure effectively can help prevent further enlargement and reduce the risk of complications. To help manage your symptoms and condition, you can take medications like Losartan 50mg once daily to control your blood pressure and reduce the strain on your heart. Additionally, your doctor may recommend a diuretic like Furosemide 40mg once daily to help with the peripheral edema. It's important to follow your doctor's advice closely and make lifestyle changes such as maintaining a healthy diet, regular exercise, and reducing stress to improve your overall health and prognosis.
