Question

I'm starting to get really worried because my heart's been racing for the last day and a half. It's super uncomfortable and happens whether I'm sitting or standing. I'm not even exercising or anything, so I can't figure out what's causing it. What should I do?

Question

I'm really worried about my health. Every year I get a check-up done, and back in November 2019 at Narayana Hrudyalaya Bangalore, everything was fine my ECG, Echo, and cholesterol were all normal. But I recently did another cholesterol test, and the results are making me anxious: Total cholesterol is 180, Triglycerides 130, HDL 15, Direct LDL 137, and Non-HDL 165. Lately, I've been feeling this discomfort in my arms and sometimes around my neck, which only lasts a few seconds, but it's got me really concerned about a possible heart attack. My blood pressure is at 12880, and I've been on BP meds for four years now. Back in 2017, both the Holter and Ambulatory tests were normal too, just like the Echo and ECG from November 2019. I'm questioning if there's something serious happening. Should I get another Echo? Is an angiogram necessary? I'm pretty scared and would appreciate any advice.

Question

I'm Sanjay, and I've been dealing with this small pin-point pain in my chest for the last two months. I saw a local doctor who suggested getting an ECG and blood tests. After the tests, he said my heart's fine and linked the pain to gastric issues. He prescribed Rablet D and Met XL. Could you have a look at my ECG and let me know if there's really no heart issue? I'm a non-smoker, non-drinker, weighing 59 kg, and I'm 158 cm tall. I've uploaded my ECG, blood test, and TMT 2D Echo reports. Can you help me figure this out?
