I've been dealing with some chest pain for the last couple of months and have noticed a bit of blood in my spit in the mornings on random days. I got a full body check-up, but everything seemed okay except my thyroid and cholesterol levels were slightly elevated. What should I do next?

Given your symptoms of chest pain and occasional blood-tinged morning spit, despite a largely normal full-body checkup, it's essential to consult a pulmonologist or a cardiologist to rule out underlying conditions such as pulmonary embolism, pneumonia, or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), and to further investigate the cause of your symptoms, especially since your thyroid and cholesterol levels are only slightly elevated.

View allI 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 27 and have had no bad habits. For the last eight months, I've been experiencing these quick chest pains on the left side; they just last about 5 to 15 seconds, and they come and go. I've been to the cardiologist and had around 20 ECGs, an echo, and a lipid profile done, and everything came back normal. The thing is, I don't feel any pain during heavy work, just at random times. I'm worried and wondering if this is a heart issue or maybe something physiological? Also, at home, my heart rate is slow, but as soon as I enter the hospital and the tension hits, my heart rate spikes. What could be going on?
It sounds like you may be experiencing episodes of non-cardiac chest pain, especially since your cardiology checkups including ECG, echo, and lipid profile have come back normal. Non-cardiac chest pain can be caused by issues such as muscle strain, anxiety, or gastrointestinal problems. Since your symptoms have been ongoing for eight months and are not related to heavy work, it is less likely to be a heart-related issue. To help with the chest pain, you can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques or deep breathing exercises may help with episodes of high heart rate related to tension. If the chest pain persists or worsens, it would be advisable to consult with a doctor for further evaluation and management.
