I've been dealing with some health issues for a while now and I'm getting a bit concerned. It's been nearly 80 days since I first had a fever and lost my sense of smell, although those symptoms have improved. My CBC, ESR, and CRP tests came back normal, but about two weeks after my initial symptoms started, I began experiencing chest pain. The chest pain has mostly gone away, but every now and then it returns, and I still feel this tightness and heaviness in my chest. I haven't had any shortness of breath, and my SpO2 levels are between 96 and 98 after a six-minute walk. An ECG has been done, and the cardiologist said it's normal, diagnosing the pain as muscular. I just had a chest X-ray today, and I'm curious if it's normal. Also, my left nostril sometimes gets blocked, making it difficult to breathe comfortably. Can you please help me understand when I might start feeling like myself again?

I'm experiencing these palpitations alongside some gas. Could this be related to my heart or are the palpitations just caused by the gas? I was wondering if it's necessary to get an ECG. Could you give me some guidance on this?
Palpitations and gas can be caused by various factors, including heart issues and gastrointestinal problems. To address palpitations, it is important to rule out any underlying heart conditions. I recommend you consult with a cardiologist for further evaluation and to consider an ECG to assess your heart's electrical activity. For gas relief, you can try over-the-counter medications like Simethicone (Gas-X) to help alleviate symptoms.

I've been really worried about some recent health issues and could use some advice. I had an angioplasty back in 2013 and also dealt with Covid in August '20. Recently, I had some pain in my left arm, so I went to the cardiologist. The ECG came back normal, but some of my test results are concerning. My homocysteine level is at 44, triglycerides are sitting at 275, but my creatinine and cholesterol are normal. My SGPT is at 46 and B12 is at 218. I'm really anxious because I know the high homocysteine could mean a higher chance of another heart issue. Should I be considering more tests, like angiography, or is there a treatment plan you would suggest? Just hoping to get some peace of mind here.
Based on your history of angioplasty in 2013, recent Covid infection, left arm pain, and abnormal test results (homocysteine at 44, triglycerides at 275, B12 at 218), it is important to further evaluate your cardiac health to determine the best course of treatment. Given your elevated homocysteine levels and previous history of angioplasty, it is advisable to undergo further cardiac evaluation. I recommend that you undergo a coronary angiography to assess the status of your coronary arteries and determine if there is any significant blockage that may require intervention. In addition to the angiography, it would also be beneficial to optimize your lipid profile and homocysteine levels through lifestyle modifications and medications. Your cardiologist may prescribe medications such as Atorvastatin for cholesterol control, Folic Acid supplements for homocysteine reduction, and lifestyle changes such as a healthy diet and regular exercise. Regular follow-up with your cardiologist is crucial to monitor your progress, adjust medications as needed, and reduce the risk of a second cardiac event. It is important to prioritize your cardiac health and work closely with your healthcare team to manage your risk factors effectively.
