I've been having this burning sensation in my left arm for the last four months. It happens even when Im just resting and not doing anything. It's accompanied by shoulder pain, mild chest pain sometimes, and other weird pains in my upper abdomen, neck, and jaw. Ive gone through a bunch of tests like ECG, Echo, 2D X-ray, and stress TMT, and they all came back normal. I've been told it's just anxiety or maybe cervical spondylosis, but Im super scared and can't shake off this feeling that its a heart problem. Do you think these symptoms could be related to some cardiac issue, or am I just overthinking?

From your description, it sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms related to anxiety and cervical spondylosis. The burning sensation in your left arm, shoulder pain, upper abdomen pain, muscle pains, neck pain, jaw pain, and mild chest pain could all be related to these conditions. Since your ECG, 2D echo, x-ray, and stress TMT results are normal, it is less likely to be related to a cardiac problem. To help with your symptoms, you can take medications like acetaminophen for pain relief and muscle relaxants for muscle pains. Additionally, you can use anti-anxiety medications like lorazepam to help with your anxiety symptoms. For cervical spondylosis, you can take medications like ibuprofen for pain and inflammation. It is important to also practice relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing exercises and mindfulness meditation, to help manage your anxiety symptoms. Physical therapy and neck exercises can also be beneficial for cervical spondylosis. Make sure to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management of your symptoms.

View allI'm a bit concerned about my heart rate. I had MVR surgery back in October 2019 and I've been on Cordarone, 100 mg, ever since. Recently, around the last month and a half, my heart rate has been hovering between 60 and 65 bpm. Is this a healthy heart rate for someone in my situation, or do I need to see a cardiologist for this?
From the information provided, your heart rate of 60-65 bpm is within the normal range for adults. However, since you are a heart failure patient with a history of MVR surgery and taking Cordarone 100 mg, it is important to monitor any changes in your heart rate closely. If you experience any symptoms such as dizziness, shortness of breath, chest pain, or fatigue along with the lower heart rate, it would be advisable to consult your cardiologist for further evaluation.

I've been keeping an eye on my health and just found out that my blood pressure is at 14090. My ECG report shows that my right bundle branch is blocked, and now my doctor wants me to start taking CYTOGARD and MONIT GTN 2.6. To be honest, I'm a bit nervous about starting these medications since I don't really have any symptoms. Is it really necessary to take them, or should I hold off until there's something more serious going on?

I'm really worried about my health. I've been dealing with chest discomfort, gastric issues, and health anxiety for the last two years. Last year, I went through several tests like ECG, echo, TMT, blood tests, and even checked troponin levels twice, but everything came back normal. I also had deficiencies in vitamin D and B12, for which I took injections and tablets. Now, for the past two weeks, I've been feeling that high gastric indigestion and chest discomfort again. Yesterday, I did another ECG, and it showed a slight ST depression in V5, but I was really anxious at the time. Could this be just anxiety, or is there something serious going on? I'm really concerned about this.
It's good to know that your previous cardiac tests and blood work have come back normal. Based on the symptoms you have described and the slight ST Depression in V5 on your recent ECG, it is important to consider both physical and psychological factors. The chest discomfort and gastric indigestion could be related to your anxiety, but it is also important to rule out any potential cardiac issues. I would recommend starting with a medication like omeprazole 20mg once daily for your gastric issues. Additionally, for anxiety, you can try taking a medication like escitalopram 10mg once daily. However, it is crucial to follow up with a cardiologist for a thorough evaluation and to discuss the ECG findings. They may recommend further tests or adjustments to your treatment plan. It's also important to continue managing your anxiety through relaxation techniques, regular exercise, and counseling support. Please continue to monitor your symptoms and seek medical attention if they worsen or if you experience any new concerning symptoms
