View allI've been having a pounding heart and sometimes feel dizzy for about a week now. It even happens when I'm just sitting around doing nothing. Any idea what's going on? Should I be worried?
These symptoms could be due to a condition called palpitations, which can be caused by various factors such as stress, anxiety, caffeine intake, or underlying heart conditions. To help manage your symptoms, you can try taking a beta-blocker medication such as Metoprolol (25-50mg) once daily to help regulate your heart rate and reduce palpitations. Additionally, it is important to reduce your caffeine intake and practice stress-reducing techniques such as deep breathing or meditation. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please seek further evaluation from a healthcare professional.

I've been having sweating and breathlessness when going up the stairs, and there's some numbness in my palm along with a light pain in my chest. I talked to a cardiologist who's pretty experienced, and after checking out my echo report, they've suggested I get an angiography. I'm really unsure about whether I should go through with it. Could you give me some advice on this? I would really appreciate a quick response.
Based on your symptoms and the recommendation of your cardiologist, undergoing angiography would be important to assess the condition of your heart vessels. This procedure can provide detailed information about any blockages or narrowing in the arteries supplying your heart. It will help in determining the best course of treatment for your condition. Please follow your cardiologist's advice and proceed with the angiography as recommended.

I'm experiencing this needle-like pain in my chest that comes and goes. Sometimes it's in my arms and hands too. I'm not sure if it's due to stress or something else, but it's been happening for the last 2 to 3 weeks. I've been on TB medication for about 6 months now, and there's also this numbness in my feet. I'm really concerned and need some guidance. I've attached my CECT report. What could be causing these symptoms?
It's important to address chest pain, especially if it is recurrent and accompanied by symptoms like numbness in your feet. Given that you are currently on tuberculosis (TB) medication, some of these medications can have side effects, including peripheral neuropathy, which may explain the numbness in your feet. The needle-like chest pain and discomfort in your arms and hands could be related to several factors, including stress, side effects from your medication, or other medical conditions. I recommend discussing these symptoms with your healthcare provider, who may consider further evaluation such as a detailed physical examination, additional blood tests to check for side effects of TB medications, and possibly an ECG or other cardiac tests to rule out any heart-related issues.
