So I had this chest pain about 2 months ago, and it wasn't related to the heart. I got my ECG and 2D echo done, and they both were normal. I also got a chest X-ray, and some other blood tests like cholesterol and thyroid, and everything was normal except for high cholesterol. The pain went away after I took some medication. But now, after 2 months, I'm experiencing the same kind of chest pain. It's more moderate to mild this time, but last time it was really severe. I couldn't even lay on the bed then. This time too, my ECG checked out normal. Should I be doing more tests to make absolutely sure it's not something heart-related, or do you think it's enough for now?

Since your ECG results came back normal and you have already undergone tests like 2D echo, chest x-ray, FBS, HbA1c, and thyroid tests which were all normal except for high cholesterol levels, it is less likely that your chest pain is cardiac-related. However, if you are still experiencing chest pain, it may be beneficial to consult with your doctor to consider other possible causes such as musculoskeletal issues or gastrointestinal problems. In the meantime, you can continue taking Pantoprazole for acid reflux and Ulgel syrup for gastritis symptoms.

I'm a 28-year-old guy and I've been on high BP medicine, Telma 40, for about 2 years. Whenever I lie down, especially on my left side, I can really feel my heartbeat. It's like it's beating outside my chest, and it's making it hard for me to sleep. I've had an ECG and a 24-hour Holter monitor test, and both came back normal. Can you help me understand why this is happening and what I can do about it?

- Feeling your heartbeat while lying on your side is often normal, especially if you're aware of your body due to anxiety or stress. Since your ECG and Holter are normal, it's unlikely to be serious. Try sleeping on your right side, managing stress, and l

I'm having trouble finding the medicine Olmesar 3D as per the prescription I received. The composition seems similar to Tri Olmesar 20 that I have. Can I safely take Tri Olmesar 20 instead, or should I continue searching for the exact medication? I'm a bit concerned about switching without guidance.

Yes you can take it no problem.

I'm curious about my recent test results. My TMT came back positive for reverse myocardial ischemia, but the rest of my tests, like my lipid profile, were normal, aside from my high blood pressure. The doctor gave me meds for the BP, but seemed pretty concerned about the TMT results. Could it be possible that the TMT was a false positive since everything else seems fine, except for my blood pressure being high?

An echo is advised.Yes false positive are present in some cases ..
