I've been really worried about my heart ever since last year when I started having these chest and left arm pains. I got a TMT and echo done back then, and they showed everything was normal, but I'm still having these pains out of nowhere. It's like I'm always scared I'm gonna have a heart attack. Do you think I should get checked again, or could this be something else altogether?

Since your TMT and echo tests were normal last year, it is less likely to be related to a heart condition. It is possible that your symptoms are more related to anxiety and panic attacks. I recommend discussing with your doctor about the possibility of starting an anti-anxiety medication such as Sertraline (Zoloft) at a low dose initially, along with counseling or therapy to address your fears and anxiety. Additionally, you can consider taking a low dose of Propranolol (Inderal) as needed for chest pain and palpitations. However, it is important to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management of your symptoms.

View allI'm a bit worried because I did a routine ECG and it mentioned Normal Sinus Rhythm with a Right Bundle Branch Block and labeled it as an abnormal ECG. What does that mean? Should I be concerned about the Right Bundle Branch Block? Is it something serious?
I can explain what these findings mean. A Normal Sinus Rhythm means your heart's basic electrical pattern is normal, with impulses starting in the right place (the sinus node). Right Bundle Branch Block (RBBB) is a fairly common condition where there's a delay in the electrical signal as it travels to the right side of your heart. While the ECG is marked as "abnormal" due to the RBBB, this finding can be completely benign in many people, especially if you have no symptoms. However, since I can't see your actual ECG and don't know your medical history, it would be best to discuss these results with your healthcare provider. They can properly interpret the findings in the context of your overall health.

I'm a bit worried because my heart rate is around 113 BPM even when I'm just resting, but my ECG came back normal. I have to admit, I'm pretty lazy and don't get much exercise, and my breathing gets heavier when I try to run. Could my lifestyle be causing this high heart rate, or should I be concerned about something else?
A heart rate of 113 BPM at rest can be caused by various factors, including physical inactivity and a sedentary lifestyle. Since you mentioned that your ECG is normal, it is less likely to be due to a heart condition. The increase in respiratory rate on running suggests that your body is not efficiently adapting to physical exertion. To address this issue, I recommend starting with lifestyle modifications such as regular exercise and physical activity. Additionally, you can consider taking medication like Metoprolol to help lower your heart rate and improve cardiovascular health. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any medication regimen.
