I've been really worried about whether a TMT or an echo is better for checking for blockages. I mean, if I want to make sure nothing's wrong, which test should I go for?

View allI've been experiencing this ongoing chest pain in the middle area whenever I take a deep breath, and it's been going on for about 2.5 years now. Initially, the doctor mentioned it was anxiety-related, but the pain hasn't gone away and I haven't seen a doctor for the last year because of the whole COVID situation. I'm wondering if this could really just be anxiety or if there's a chance it might be something else, like an esophagus issue. I mean, the pain gets worse with a deep breath, but I don't have trouble breathing otherwise. I did an ECG and a high troponin test about 12 days ago, and both were normal. I've also got acidity issues. What should I do next?

I'm really concerned about my recent master checkup results. The doctor mentioned I have an abnormal heart rhythm where my heart stops for 1.8 seconds. He said it's a birth defect and suggested I get a pacemaker. I've been feeling dizzy lately, and I'm wondering if that's related to my heart issue. Do you think it's a good idea to go ahead with the pacemaker? Are there any other treatments or alternatives you would recommend?
Yes, the dizziness could be related to the abnormal heart rhythm causing brief pauses in the heart's electrical activity. A pacemaker is commonly recommended for individuals with significant heart rhythm abnormalities like yours to help regulate the heart's rhythm and prevent pauses that can lead to symptoms like dizziness. Alternative treatments may include medications to help control the heart rhythm, but in cases where there are significant pauses in the heart rhythm, a pacemaker is often the most effective and safest option to prevent complications and improve quality of life. It is advisable to follow your doctor's recommendation to have a pacemaker implanted to help regulate your heart rhythm and prevent further symptoms like dizziness.
