I've been experiencing this weird, sharp or cramping pain on the right side of my chest whenever I walk for a while, but it stops immediately after I stop walking. I've already gotten a chest X-ray and a sonography, and both came back normal. Do you have any idea what could be causing this?

Is it normal to feel like my heart is pounding really hard when I'm exercising? It feels like my heart's just doing a crazy workout on its own, almost like I can hold it in my hand. When I checked, my heart rate was between 130-140 during a heavy workout. I'm 20 and I do have high cholesterol. I had an ECG and echo done back in May, and everything seemed okay. But when I'm resting, my heart rate drops to about 50 bpm and it doesn't feel heavy at all. It's only happening when I'm working out. Should I be worried and stop doing these intense exercises?

It is not uncommon to feel a heavy heartbeat during intense exercise, especially when your heart rate is elevated. Given your age and previous normal cardiac evaluations, it is less likely to be concerning. However, if you continue to experience discomfort or if the symptoms worsen, it may be advisable to modify your exercise routine. To help manage your symptoms, you can consider taking a beta-blocker medication like Metoprolol at a low dose before exercise to help control your heart rate and reduce the sensation of a heavy heartbeat. It is important to consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new medication. Additionally, focusing on aerobic exercises within your target heart rate zone and gradually increasing intensity may also help in reducing the sensation of a heavy heartbeat during exercise.

I'm experiencing shortness of breath when I run, and my ECG and Echo reports both came back normal. I'm trying to figure out what's going on. Should I consider getting a CT angiography? Oh, and I've noticed my Echo report lists an ejection fraction of 60, but the stroke volume and EDV fields are blankhow was the EF calculated? I've attached the report too.

Shortness of breath during exercise despite normal ECG and Echo reports could be due to other factors such as asthma, anemia, or even deconditioning. Since your Echo report shows a normal ejection fraction of 60%, the calculation is typically done using the formula EF = (SVEDV) x 100. However, since the SV and EDV values are missing in your report, it may be challenging to accurately calculate the EF. Considering your symptoms and the inconclusive nature of the Echo report, it may be advisable to consult with a cardiologist to determine the need for further testing such as a CT angiography to rule out any coronary artery disease.

My father had bypass surgery 20 years ago and now the doctor is recommending a CAG because they said his heart is at 30% working. He's 60 now is it safe for him to go through this procedure at his age?
