I've been having some health issues that are making me anxious. My ECG today showed a low T wave in V4 and a slight ST depression in V6. I'm not sure what that means, and I'm a bit worried about it. I also tend to get high blood pressure sometimes, and my lipid and cortisol levels are up. What can I do about all this? Should I be getting any more tests done?

Based on your ECG findings of low T wave in V4 and slight ST depression in V6, along with your history of anxiety, high blood pressure, high lipid levels, and high cortisol levels, it is important to further evaluate your cardiac health. I recommend you to consult a cardiologist for a detailed evaluation and management plan. Further tests that may be recommended include: 1. Stress test (Treadmill test) to assess your heart's response to physical activity. 2. Echocardiogram to evaluate the structure and function of your heart. 3. Holter monitor or event monitor to monitor your heart's activity over a period of time. 4. Blood tests to assess your cholesterol levels, blood sugar levels, and other cardiac markers. In the meantime, it is important to manage your anxiety, high blood pressure, high lipid levels, and high cortisol levels. You can consider medications such as Atorvastatin for high cholesterol, Amlodipine for high blood pressure, and Alprazolam for anxiety. However, the specific dosage and duration of these medications should be determined by your healthcare provider after a thorough evaluation.

View allI'm experiencing some pain in the middle of my chest since last night. I think it might be related to stress and maybe even gastric issues. Should I be considering a heart checkup just to be safe, or is it okay to just monitor it for now?
It is important to rule out any potential heart issues, especially if you are experiencing chest pain. However, based on your description and suspicion of gastric-related pain due to work stress, you can start with an over-the-counter antacid like Tums (calcium carbonate) for relief. If the chest pain persists or worsens, it is advisable to consult a doctor for further evaluation and appropriate management.

I'm 22 and I've been experiencing chest pain for a few months now. My X-ray and ECG both came back normal, but the pain keeps coming and going within about 30 seconds. It switches locations, sometimes on the left side, other times on the right, and occasionally its in the upper or lower chest. I'm really worried about my heart. Could this actually be related to gas like the doctor suggested?
As you had done investigation like ecg so chest pain is not due to cardiac issue .Yes it can be because of acid reflus .Ans xray is also normal and you dont have any cough sneezing breathlessness and your age is so young so it could because of gas
