View allI was recently diagnosed with sinus tachycardia before my laparoscopic surgery and I'm a bit concerned should I be worried about this? The doctors mentioned it during my pre-op tests but didn't go into much detail. Is this something serious or just a temporary thing?

I've been having this chest pain and heaviness, and sometimes it feels like I'm short of breath, especially when I'm walking. I got an ECG and a chest x-ray, and they came back normal. I went to a nearby clinic just a couple of days ago for the same issue. I can't help but think I might have angina, but no doctor has confirmed this. They usually just check my pulse rate and listen to my heartbeat with a stethoscope and tell me everything's fine. Should I be worried about this, or can I trust the tests and what the doctors have said so far? Would love some guidance!
Since your symptoms are persisting, it's important to consider other causes of chest pain apart from heart-related issues. One common condition that can cause similar symptoms is acid reflux or GERD. You can try taking Omeprazole (brand name Prilosec) 20mg once daily before breakfast for 2 weeks to see if your symptoms improve. Additionally, you can also take Ranitidine (brand name Zantac) 150mg twice daily for immediate relief of chest pain. However, if your symptoms persist or worsen, it's advisable to consult a gastroenterologist for further evaluation and management.
