I've been having episodes of shortness of breath without any pain, and I'm really worried after my visit to the emergency at Medanta. They did a couple of troponin T tests; one came out negative, but the other was positiveshould I be worried about that? Then they did a coronary angiography, which came back normal, thank goodness, but they also did a CT coronary angiography, and the results are attached. Could you help me understand what's going on in the report and what my next steps should be in terms of treatment?

I see that you have undergone various tests for shortness of breath and have received conflicting results on troponin T tests. The normal coronary angiography results are reassuring. As for the CT coronary angiography report, without seeing the specific details, I cannot provide a detailed explanation. However, based on the information provided, it seems like further evaluation and monitoring may be needed to determine the underlying cause of your symptoms. In terms of treatment, it would be best to follow up with your healthcare provider for a comprehensive assessment and to discuss the next steps.

View allI'm feeling a vibration sensation in my left chest that's been going on for a few seconds at a time. I had an ECG and ECO test done, and both came back normal, and the doctor told me that I don't need any medicine. But I'm still experiencing it sometimes, and I'm just wondering how long it might take for this vibration to stop?
In this case, you may be experiencing palpitations or muscle spasms. To help alleviate these symptoms, you can try taking a beta-blocker medication such as Metoprolol 25mg once daily. Additionally, practicing stress-reducing techniques such as deep breathing exercises or yoga may also be beneficial. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation.

I'm curious about what's happening with my heart. Sometimes my ECG shows these non-specific ST changes, and while my echo was normal, I'm still worried. I often feel chest discomfort and pains in my left arm. Is there something specific these ST changes could indicate, even though my ECG and echo seem alright? Could something be missed?
Non-specific ST changes on an ECG can be caused by various factors, including electrolyte imbalances, medications, anxiety, or even normal variation. Since your echocardiogram was normal, it is less likely to be related to a structural heart problem. However, given your symptoms of chest discomfort and left arm pains, it is important to continue monitoring and investigating further. To address your symptoms, you can try taking a medication like aspirin for chest discomfort (75-325mg once daily) and acetaminophen for pain relief in your left arm (500-1000mg every 4-6 hours as needed). Additionally, you may benefit from a medication like ranitidine for acid reflux if present (150mg twice daily). It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management of your symptoms.
