I've been having this chest pain right in the center for the past 3 years, mostly when I'm exerting myself like lifting heavy stuff, climbing stairs, or riding in a fast-moving vehicle. I've had a coronary angiogram, and it came back normal. My echo is also normal. I've noticed my stomach bloats when this happens. Could this be related to a heart issue or is it more of an anxiety thing? The pain usually goes away when I rest. What could be going on?

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), which can sometimes present with chest pain and bloating. I recommend trying over-the-counter antacids like Tums or Rolaids for relief of your symptoms. Additionally, you can try lifestyle modifications such as avoiding trigger foods (spicy, acidic, fatty foods), eating smaller meals, and not lying down right after eating. If your symptoms persist, you may need to see a gastroenterologist for further evaluation and management.

View allI'm really worried about my aunt who's dealing with hypertension. Her blood pressure was really high at 190110 during her echo testing. The echo report mentioned things like AO 30mm, LA 40mm, EF 60%, and LVIDd 40mm, among others. She was diagnosed with CVH and grade 1 LVDD. I've heard CVH can be reversible with long-term control of blood pressure. The doctor has prescribed meds, and now her BP is down to 13185. I'm just trying to understand if her condition is mild, moderate, or severe. Can you help me make sense of all this?
Based on the information provided, your aunt's CVH (Cardiovascular Hypertension) condition is concerning due to her high blood pressure of 190110. However, with proper management and the prescribed blood pressure tablets, her current blood pressure of 13185 is within a better range. To help control her blood pressure and potentially improve her CVH, the doctor may have prescribed medications such as Amlodipine (5mg) and Lisinopril (10mg) to be taken daily. These medications can help lower blood pressure and reduce the strain on the heart. In terms of the severity of her CVH, it is considered mild at this stage with grade 1 LVDD (Left Ventricular Diastolic Dysfunction). With continued management of her blood pressure and overall health, there is a possibility that the CVH can be reversible over time. Remember to monitor her blood pressure regularly, take the prescribed medications as directed, follow a healthy lifestyle, and attend follow-up appointments with her doctor for further evaluation and management of her condition.

I've been taking cardace 2.5 mg after consulting with Dr. Anand Chopda on August 17th. I've been monitoring my readings every morning before taking the tablet, and they are as follows: Aug 19 - 11277, Aug 20 - 11888, Aug 21 - 11883, Aug 22 - 13385, Aug 23 - 13195, Aug 24 - 12693, Aug 25 - 11773. Should I keep taking the cardace at this dosage, or is there a need for adjustment? I'm a bit concerned about these numbers. Any advice on this?
Based on the readings you have provided, it seems like your blood pressure has been fluctuating. However, it is important to note that a single reading may not provide a complete picture.

I'm really worried about my 19-year-old daughter's ECG results. The report mentions things like 802 Sinus Tachycardia and 611 T Abnormality Flat T. I'm not sure what all this means and if there's anything serious that we should be concerned about. Could you help me understand if these findings indicate any major health issues? I'm feeling quite anxious and would appreciate any insights you could offer.
