I've been feeling this pain on the left side of my chest, and it kind of started with a weird pain in the veins of my fingers on the same side. Now the pain is also in my left side chest, hand, head, and shoulder. What could be causing this, and should I be worried?

View allI'm a 20-year-old guy, and I've been dealing with some health stuff thats freaking me out a bit. Out of nowhere, Ill get hit with high blood pressure, anxiety, and then it just snowballs into feeling nauseous, sweating, and I start having trouble breathing. It's really unsettling, and Im starting to worry. What do you think could be going on, and what should I do about it?
You can take Metoprolol (brand name: Lopressor) for high blood pressure and anxiety. The recommended dosage is 25-100 mg per day. For nausea, you can take Ondansetron (brand name: Zofran) 4-8 mg every 8 hours as needed. Additionally, you can use Albuterol inhaler (brand name: ProAir) for breathlessness as needed. It is important to monitor your symptoms closely and follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm really worried because I'm 26 and I've been having some heart pain, shortness of breath, and light dizziness. My lipid profile is normal, but my 2D Echo showed a Left ventricle size of 4.0 x 3.0 cm, IVSD 0.8 cm, LVPW 0.8 cm, EF 47, and FS 23. Everything else seemed normal. Is this something I should be really concerned about? Is it fixable, and can I get back to my normal life? I'm feeling scared and unsure about what steps to take.
Based on your symptoms and the findings from your 2D Echo, it is important to further evaluate your condition. The slight heart pain, shortness of breath, and dizziness could be indicative of a cardiac issue. With an EF of 47% and FS of 23%, there may be some impairment in your heart's pumping function. To address this, you may benefit from medication to improve your heart function and symptoms. I recommend starting with a beta-blocker such as Metoprolol (25-50 mg once daily) to help reduce your heart's workload and improve its efficiency. Additionally, an ACE inhibitor like Enalapril (5-10 mg once daily) can also be beneficial in improving heart function. It is important to follow up with a cardiologist for further evaluation and management. Lifestyle modifications such as a heart-healthy diet, regular exercise, and stress management are also crucial in improving your heart health. With proper treatment and lifestyle changes, many individuals can lead a normal life with cardiac conditions. Remember, early detection and management are key in addressing any potential heart issues. Take care and follow up with your healthcare provider for personalized care and guidance
