I've been dealing with chest pain for the past three months that comes and goes, and it often spreads to my left shoulder, arm, and even my jaw. Sometimes I get dizzy too. I had COVID before, and now I'm also experiencing some breathing issues since last week. I saw a cardiologist, and the ECG, trop test, and chest X-ray all showed nothing unusual. I had an echo and a TMT done today. Can you help me understand what's going on? What could be causing my symptoms if all these tests are normal?

Based on your symptoms and the tests you have undergone, it seems like you may be experiencing symptoms of angina or coronary artery disease. Since your ECG, troponin test, chest X-ray, echo, and TMT are normal, it is important to continue monitoring your symptoms and follow up with your cardiologist for further evaluation. In the meantime, you can take medications like Aspirin 75mg once daily to help reduce the risk of heart attack, and medications like Atorvastatin 20mg once daily to manage cholesterol levels. Additionally, Nitroglycerin sublingual tablets can be taken as needed for chest pain relief. It is also important to make lifestyle changes such as maintaining a healthy diet, regular exercise, quitting smoking (if applicable), and managing stress to improve your overall heart health. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please consult your cardiologist for further evaluation and management.

View allWhen is it okay to stop taking Inderal LA 20 mg? I've been on it for about a month now for anxiety and because my blood pressure was a bit high, around 14085. I've managed to get those under control, so I'm wondering if it's safe to stop the medication. What do you suggest?
Inderal LA 20 mg is a beta-blocker medication used to treat high blood pressure and anxiety. Since you have been taking it for a month and have overcome your anxiety and your blood pressure is now under control, you can consider stopping the medication. However, it is important to consult with your doctor before making any changes to your medication regimen. Your doctor may recommend tapering off the medication gradually to avoid any potential withdrawal symptoms.

I sometimes get these palpitations and it's really concerning. I don't usually have any chest pain or trouble breathing when it happens. I got some tests done, and my thyroid levels are alright, and the echo seems fine too. But my ECG came back showing a heart rate of 104 bpm. Is this something I should be worried about? And what can I do to bring my heart rate down?
An abnormal ECG with a heart rate of 104 bpm can be concerning, especially if you are experiencing palpitations. One way to help lower your heart rate is by taking a beta-blocker medication. This medication can help regulate your heart rate and reduce palpitations. However, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new medication. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques such as deep breathing exercises and avoiding stimulants like caffeine can also help lower your heart rate.

I'm experiencing a bit of chest pressure both in the mornings when I wake up and again at night. It's starting to really worry me, and I'm not sure what could be causing it. Can you help me figure out what's going on? I'm genuinely concerned.
A small chest pressure in the morning and at night could be due to acid reflux or heartburn. I would recommend trying over-the-counter antacids like Tums or Rolaids to see if it helps alleviate the symptoms. You can take 1-2 tablets as needed after meals and before bedtime. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to consult a doctor for further evaluation and management.
