My brother has been having chest pain so we got a CT angiography done as advised by the doctor. Can you check the report and tell us if there's any blockage and whether he might need heart surgery? We're really worried and would appreciate your advice.

I'm experiencing heaviness and palpitations in my chest along with heartburn. I've gone through several tests like ECG, Echo, stress TMT, and stress MPI, and they all came back normal. But I still feel these symptoms sometimes and have visited many cardiologists without finding a solution. They say it's anxiety, yet I sleep well at night. Do you have any advice or suggestions for further tests? And is it okay if I drink chamomile tea at night?

It's good that you have undergone various cardiac tests which have come back normal. Since your symptoms are still persisting, it is possible that anxiety could be contributing to your symptoms. In addition to managing stress and anxiety, you can try over-the-counter antacids for heartburn relief. For palpitations, you can try taking a magnesium supplement. However, it's important to consult with a doctor before starting any new supplement. As for chamomile tea, it is generally considered safe for most people and can help with relaxation. You can try drinking chamomile tea in the evening to help with anxiety and promote better sleep. Start with a low dose and see how your body reacts to it. If your symptoms continue or worsen, it may be helpful to consult with a gastroenterologist to rule out any gastrointestinal issues that could be contributing to your symptoms.

I'm really concerned about some symptoms I've been experiencing. I started taking Eliwel 10mg for nerve pain about 20 days ago, but suddenly I got rapid heartbeats and chest pain on October 1st with pain intensity around 710. When I went to the doctor, my heartbeat was going from 60s to 110. The doctor gave me Nebicard 5mg and suggested getting an ECG and echo. The ECG was abnormal but the echo was normal, and the doc said not to worry. But the chest pain lingered for 34 days, and I also had some shortness of breath. I've stopped taking Eliwel on my own, which helped a bit, but I still have some chest pain, maybe around a 410. Yesterday I saw a cardiologist who did a TMT test; that was normal too, but the ECG was still abnormal. I've attached my reports. Is there anything here I should be worried about?

Based on your symptoms and the abnormal ECG findings, it seems like you may have experienced some adverse effects from the Eliwel (Amitriptyline) medication. The rapid heart beat and chest pain could be related to this. Nebicard (Nebivolol) 5mg was prescribed to help with the rapid heart beat. Since you have already discontinued Eliwel and your symptoms have improved but not completely resolved, I would recommend discussing with your doctor about alternative medications for nerve pain. For your ongoing chest pain, you can consider taking a pain reliever like Paracetamol 500mg as needed for pain relief. It is important to follow up with your Cardiologist for further evaluation and management of the abnormal ECG findings. If the chest pain persists or worsens, do not hesitate to seek medical attention promptly.
