It's like my heart is beating at a normal pace but with a lot of force. I can also see my heartbeat in my stomach area. Plus, I've been having some discomfort in my chest.

I've been dealing with pain in my left hand and left chest even though my 2D echo, TMT, and chest X-ray all came back normal. It's been a couple of months, and I've also got these gaustic issues. I'm taking razol for it, but I'm wondering if you thin...

Accepted Answer

Given your normal 2D echo, TMT, and chest X-ray, yet persistent left hand and chest pains, it is possible that your symptoms are related to gastrointestinal issues, especially since you have been experiencing gastric problems for the past two months and are currently taking Razo-L (rabeprazole). Gastric issues, including acid reflux, can sometimes cause chest pain that mimics heart-related pain. While your current tests are reassuring, if your symptoms persist, it may be helpful to undergo further evaluation such as an upper gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy to assess for conditions like gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) or peptic ulcers. Additionally, consider consulting a gastroenterologist to further explore and manage your gastric symptoms.

Question 6

I'm a bit concerned about my blood pressureit seems to be all over the place. Sometimes its normal, but other times it spikes. Im trying to understand what my true blood pressure level is. How can I get an accurate diagnosis for this?

Accepted Answer

To diagnose the correct exact blood pressure level, you can monitor your blood pressure regularly at home using a digital blood pressure monitor. Make sure to follow these steps: 1. Sit quietly for 5 minutes before taking your blood pressure. 2. Place the cuff on your bare upper arm at heart level. 3. Take two or three readings, 1 minute apart, in the morning before taking any medications and in the evening before dinner. 4. Record the date, time, and blood pressure readings. 5. Share this record with your doctor for proper evaluation and management. If your blood pressure continues to fluctuate, your doctor may recommend further evaluation or prescribe antihypertensive medication such as Amlodipine (Norvasc) 5mg once daily to help control your blood pressure.
