I've been experiencing this sharp pain and tightness in my chest, and it sometimes feels more like stabbing. It's not constant - sometimes it's there, sometimes not. It's weird because I also feel it around my back. On top of that, I'm always tired and feel drowsy. Should I be concerned about this?

I recently had an ECG and felt really nervous during the test. The report mentioned "sinus tachycardia otherwise normal ECG." Should I be worried about this?

Sinus tachycardia is a condition where the heart beats faster than normal. In most cases, it is a normal response to stress, anxiety, or exercise. Since your ECG report shows sinus tachycardia but is otherwise normal, there is likely no cause for concern. However, if you continue to experience symptoms such as palpitations, dizziness, or chest pain, it would be advisable to follow up with your healthcare provider. No specific medication is needed for sinus tachycardia, but managing stress and anxiety can help.
