Sir, I'm 27 and have no bad habits like drinking or smoking, but my weight is 80 kg. For the past year, I've experienced daily pain in my left chest. Throughout this time, I've had 20 ECGs, 2 echocardiograms, and a TMT that was negative. My troponin levels are normal, along with a normal chest X-ray, random blood sugar, renal function tests, and thyroid function tests. My blood pressure is high at 16298, so I'm on Telma 20 tablets. Six months ago, my lipid profile was normal too. Why do I keep getting this pain in my left chest? It's causing me a lot of anxiety, and I worry about dying. I even got an ECG yesterday and attached the pic. Is there any other test I should consider for this pain?

The tests you have done so far indicate that your heart and other vital organs are functioning normally. Since your chest pain has been persisting for a year and you have already undergone multiple tests, it is important to consider other possible causes for your symptoms. One potential reason for your chest pain could be related to musculoskeletal issues or anxiety. I recommend trying over-the-counter pain relief medication like acetaminophen for your chest pain. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques such as deep breathing exercises or yoga may help alleviate any anxiety-related chest discomfort. If your symptoms persist or worsen, you may consider consulting with a specialist such as a cardiologist or a gastroenterologist for further evaluation. They may suggest additional tests or imaging studies based on their clinical assessment. Remember to maintain a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise and a balanced diet, to support your overall well-being. If you have any concerns or new symptoms, do not hesitate to seek medical advice promptly.

I've been having some pain in my left arm and jaw, along with a toothache and feeling weak, but there's no chest pain. Could these be signs of a heart attack? I'm kind of worried and would like to understand what this might mean.

Im 23 years old and recently I've noticed that whenever I eat a big meal or heavy food from restaurants, I can feel my pulse increase in my neck. What could be causing this?

Increased pulse after heavy meals can be due to a condition called postprandial tachycardia. This can happen when the body redirects blood flow to the digestive system to help with the digestion process, causing the heart to beat faster. To help with this issue, you can try to eat smaller, lighter meals and avoid foods high in fat and sugar. Additionally, staying hydrated and practicing relaxation techniques may also help.

I've been having a pounding heart and sometimes feel dizzy for about a week now. It even happens when I'm just sitting around doing nothing. Any idea what's going on? Should I be worried?

These symptoms could be due to a condition called palpitations, which can be caused by various factors such as stress, anxiety, caffeine intake, or underlying heart conditions. To help manage your symptoms, you can try taking a beta-blocker medication such as Metoprolol (25-50mg) once daily to help regulate your heart rate and reduce palpitations. Additionally, it is important to reduce your caffeine intake and practice stress-reducing techniques such as deep breathing or meditation. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please seek further evaluation from a healthcare professional.
