I've been feeling this weird vibration in my left chest, and it only lasts for like 1 or 2 seconds before it stops on its own. I'm not really sure what could be causing it or how to make it go away. Could you tell me what might be going on and if there's anything I can do to stop it?

Feeling vibrations in the left chest that stop within 1 to 2 seconds could be due to premature ventricular contractions (PVCs), which are extra, abnormal heartbeats that begin in the ventricles. To help manage PVCs, you can try reducing stress and anxiety, avoiding caffeine and nicotine, and ensuring you stay hydrated. In some cases, if PVCs are frequent or bothersome, a doctor may prescribe a beta-blocker such as Metoprolol (25-50mg) to help regulate the heart rhythm.

I'm experiencing some mild chest pain, back pain, and lightheadedness occasionally. Ive done an ECG, 2D Echo, and TMT. The cardiologist said my heart is fine and prescribed me T. Gemcal for 30 days, T. Etoshine MR for 5 days, and T. Pan D for 5 days. The ECG results show NRM and WNL, and the 2D Echo is normal. Ive attached the TMT report here. Could you take a look and let me know what you think?

"Based on the information provided, it seems like you have been experiencing mild chest pain, back pain, and lightheadedness.

I recently got a TMT and got the results which have left me a bit confused and concerned. The report mentions that my resting ECG is normal, and my functional capacity and heart rate response during exercise are both listed as 'appropriate'. My blood pressure response seemed to be okay too, as it says 'normal resting BP' and 'appropriate response'. I didnt experience any chest pain or arrhythmia, and there were no ST changes. However, the overall impression is marked as a 'normal stress test' but concludes with 'positive for reversible ischemia'. Should I be worried about this reversible ischemia part? What does it mean, and what should my next steps be?

Based on the findings of your TMT (Treadmill Stress Test), it appears that your overall impression is normal, but the conclusion mentions a positive result for reversible ischemia. To treat reversible ischemia, you can consider taking antiplatelet medications like Aspirin 75mg once daily, along with a statin like Atorvastatin 20mg once daily to lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of further ischemic events. Additionally, a medication like Metoprolol 25mg twice daily can be prescribed to help manage any underlying cardiovascular conditions. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
