I've been having this discomfort in my left arm and shoulder that doesn't get worse when I exercise, and resting doesn't seem to help either. Plus, I've been experiencing sudden breathing difficulties along with sweating every couple of evenings, and it's really exhausting, but strangely, no chest pain like a heart attack. These symptoms were there about a year ago but felt less frequent. Now, it's been more than a month and it's happening more often. A year back, my ECG, ECHO, TMT, and Holter tests came back normal, along with normal TSH, lipid profile, vitamin D levels, etc. The doctor thinks it might be panic attacks, but why do I still have this persistent arm pain? If it was a heart issue, shouldn't there have been complications by now? What do you think I should do?

Persistent discomfort in your left arm and shoulder, along with symptoms like sudden breathing difficulties, sweating, and exhaustion, can be concerning. While it's reassuring that your ECG, ECHO, TMT, and Holter tests were normal, and your doctor suggested panic attacks, persistent and worsening symptoms warrant further evaluation. It's important to follow up with your healthcare provider to reassess your condition and rule out other potential causes, such as musculoskeletal issues, nerve compression, or even conditions like GERD or anxiety disorders. Discuss your ongoing concerns with your doctor to ensure a comprehensive evaluation and appropriate management plan.

View allI'm a bit concerned about my ECG results. The report shows a PR of 102 and I'm not sure if that's within the normal range. I've also attached the ECG here for you to take a look. Could you let me know if everything seems okay? We're also considering cataract surgery, so I wanted to check if this ECG is fine before moving forward with that.
An ECG with a PR interval of 102 milliseconds is within the normal range. As for cataract surgery, it is important to assess your overall health condition before proceeding. Please consult with your ophthalmologist to determine if you are a suitable candidate for cataract surgery.

I'm a bit concerned about a TMT test I did a couple of days ago. The results came back as a normal stress test, but while reaching a 100 heart rate during the test, I experienced some mild dizziness that lasted for about 2 minutes. It was manageable and got better after I rested. I could walk and move around fine afterward, but I had a mild headache for the rest of the day. The next day, I felt completely okay, and there were no other symptoms. Should I be worried about this, or is it normal for TMT results? Please check my report and advise.
Based on your description and the results of your TMT test showing a normal stress test with no inducible ischemia, it is reassuring that there are no significant cardiac issues detected. The mild and manageable dizziness you experienced towards the end of the test may have been due to the physical exertion during the test, which is not uncommon. It is good to hear that the symptoms resolved after resting and that you were able to walk and move without any difficulty. The mild headache you experienced throughout the day could also be related to the physical stress of the test. It is positive that you felt completely alright the next day and that no other symptoms occurred. I would recommend staying hydrated and getting adequate rest. If you experience similar symptoms during physical exertion in the future, it would be advisable to consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation. Overall, based on the information provided, there does not appear to be a significant concern, but it is always important to listen to your body and seek medical advice if needed."
