I've been experiencing a sudden heaviness in my chest lately, and it's making me feel like I need to take deeper breaths sometimes. I also have a slight burning sensation in my stomach. I'm trying to figure out what's going on. Could you help me understand what might be causing these symptoms?

I'm a bit concerned about my heart rate when I'm sleeping. At night, it sometimes goes as high as 115 beats per minute, but during the day, it's more like 85 BPM. I don't have any other health conditions right now. Should I be worried about this change in heart rate between day and night? Is it normal?
Heart beat rise during sleep in night up to 115 beats per minute is known as nocturnal tachycardia. This can be due to various reasons such as stress, anxiety, caffeine intake, or even certain medications. Since you do not have any other existing conditions, I recommend monitoring your caffeine intake and practicing relaxation techniques before bedtime. If the issue persists, you can consider taking a beta-blocker medication like Metoprolol, starting with a low dose of 25mg once daily in the morning. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new medication.

I'm curious about somethingcan you have a negative TMT stress test but still experience angina or have atherosclerosis? Is getting an angiogram a better way to check for coronary artery disease?
A negative TMT stress test does not completely rule out the presence of angina or atherosclerosis. In some cases, the test may not accurately detect blockages in the coronary arteries. An angiogram is considered the gold standard for diagnosing coronary artery disease (CAD) as it provides a direct visualization of the coronary arteries. If there is a high suspicion of CAD despite a negative TMT, an angiogram may be recommended to confirm the diagnosis.
