Today I experienced some heat in my chest area, which is unusual for me, and it wasn't during my regular walks or runs either. I've been feeling mild chest pain on and off for the last eight months, but my tests like the echo ECG in April were normal, and my TMT in August came back negative too. I'm pretty active, walking daily and running, and haven't changed my dietno junk or spicy foods. Seeing the cardiologist got me a list of medications like Escitalopram, Gastoflora, and Alprazolam, among others, but I'm curious about this new sensation. Is it something to worry about, or could it be a side effect of the medications?

The heat on the chest area that you are feeling could be due to various reasons, including anxiety or musculoskeletal issues. The medications prescribed to you by the cardiologist are as follows: 1) Escitalopram tablets - 1 tablet in the evening 2) Gastoflora tablet - 1 tablet in the evening 3) Alprazolam tablet - 12 tablet in the morning and 12 tablet in the evening 4) Duloxetine capsule - 1 capsule after breakfast 5) Retizyme capsule - 1 capsule in the morning and 1 capsule in the evening 6) Etoricoxib soft gelatin capsule - 1 capsule in the morning and 1 capsule in the evening 7) Difen Gel ointment These medications suggest that the cardiologist may suspect an underlying anxiety or gastrointestinal issue. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and schedule as advised by the doctor. If you continue to experience chest pain or any concerning symptoms, please follow up with your cardiologist for further evaluation.

View allI'm experiencing chest pain in the middle, and sometimes it feels like a pulsing sensation. It just started yesterday. Should I be worried about this? What could it mean?
Chest pain can have various causes, including heart problems, muscle strain, or digestive issues. Since chest pain can be a symptom of a serious condition, it is important to seek medical attention promptly. In the meantime, you can take over-the-counter pain relief medication like acetaminophen (e.g. Tylenol) at a dose of 500mg every 4-6 hours as needed for pain. However, if the chest pain is severe or persistent, it is crucial to seek immediate medical help.

I'm noticing my heartbeat feels really strong and visible in my stomach and chest all the time. Sometimes when I'm just sitting, it actually makes my body move with each beat. Is that something normal? My heart rate usually sits between 70 to 80 beats per minute, and my blood pressure is around 12090. Does that sound okay?
Having a visible heartbeat in your stomach and chest, along with feeling strong pulsations, can be concerning. This may be due to a condition called aortic aneurysm or other cardiovascular issues. Your blood pressure of 12090 is slightly elevated and should be monitored. It's important to consult a cardiologist for further evaluation and management.

I've been told I have grade 1 diastolic dysfunction, and my blood pressure has been pretty low over the last few years. Should I be worried about anything serious going on? My LDL and triglycerides levels aren't where they should be either. What do you think?
Grade 1 diastolic dysfunction can be managed by controlling blood pressure and addressing any underlying conditions. Since your blood pressure has been consistently low, it is important to investigate the cause further. Low blood pressure can be due to dehydration, heart problems, endocrine issues, or neurological conditions. In your case, with elevated LDL and triglyceride levels, it is important to focus on managing your cholesterol levels to reduce the risk of heart disease. I recommend starting with lifestyle modifications such as a healthy diet, regular exercise, and weight management. In addition, medication such as Atorvastatin can be prescribed to help lower your LDL levels. For your triglycerides, medications such as Fenofibrate can be considered. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
