I've had this chest pain for like 10 days now, and my ECG came back normal, which is good I guess? But I'm on these meds like mild TR and taking aceclofenac paracetamol tablets. Could you explain what's going on with my chest pain? Is it something I should be worried about? And is there anything else you think I should be doing?

View allI'm experiencing arm pain that started in my left arm, but now it's also in my right arm. I've got this weird center chest pain too. I did an ECG, echo, and some blood tests, including a thyroid test about four days ago, and everything came back normal. The doctor mentioned it might be anxiety because my heart rate was really highlike 130 bpm during the ECG and my blood pressure was 15080. I've had this fear of heart issues for months, and now the symptoms seem to have gotten worse. They gave me Betanol TR 40 to try and help. Sometimes the arm pain gets really bad, but then it goes away and comes back. It feels like pins and needles, maybe like cramps. What could this be?
It sounds like you are experiencing symptoms of anxiety and cardiophobia, which can manifest as arm pain and chest discomfort. The medication prescribed to you, Betanol TR 40, is a brand name for Propranolol. This medication can help with managing symptoms of anxiety and can also help with reducing heart rate and blood pressure. The usual dosage for Propranolol in anxiety is 20-40mg taken 2-3 times a day. It is important to follow your doctor's instructions regarding the dosage and frequency of taking the medication. If you experience worsening symptoms or have any concerns, it is important to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.

Today I was feeling really breathless, so I decided to see a cardiologist. They had me do an ECG, and after looking it over, the doctor recommended getting another one in 23 days. Should I be worried about what my ECG showed? I'm also on antidepressants, and I've heard they can sometimes cause long QT syndrome. Could that be what's going on with my QTc interval? I've attached my ECG, and I'm just hoping you can let me know if there's anything abnormal.
The QTc interval on your ECG appears to be prolonged, which can be a concern as it may lead to arrhythmias. Since you are on antidepressant medication, it is important to monitor this closely as some antidepressants can indeed prolong the QT interval. I recommend discussing this with your cardiologist and considering a change in medication if necessary. In the meantime, you may benefit from taking a medication like Escitalopram at a lower dose to reduce the risk of QT prolongation.

How is heart affected in diabetes?
With time, raised blood sugar levels can damage the blood vessels and nerves that control the heart. Additionally, people with diabetes are also more likely to have other conditions that raise the risk for heart disease such as high blood pressure and deranged cholesterol or triglyceride levels.
