What are the heart disease causes & risk factors?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
With time, raised blood sugar levels can damage the blood vessels and nerves that control the heart. Additionally, people with diabetes are also more likely to have other conditions that raise the risk for heart disease such as high blood pressure and deranged cholesterol or triglyceride levels.

View allI'm experiencing some pain under my left collarbone since this evening. I've been dealing with acid reflux and started taking a proton pump inhibitor since Sunday. That day, I felt chills in my arms and chest, and my doctor said it might be anxiety and gave me a prescription for an antidepressant, but I'm not taking it yet. I had an ECG done on Sunday as well, and I'll include the report with my question. Also, I've got a cholesterol level of 124. Should I be concerned about this pain?

I'm currently taking Nexito Plus and Propranolol. I'm wondering if these medications could be affecting my ECG results? Also, I'm dealing with gastritis right now. Could that be related to or affecting my heart health?
The combination of Nexito Plus (Escitalopram, Clonazepam, and Nortriptyline) and Propranolol can potentially have an effect on your ECG due to their cardiac side effects. Propranolol, in particular, can cause changes in heart rate and rhythm which may be reflected in an ECG. It is important to monitor your heart health regularly while taking these medications. Additionally, since you are experiencing gastritis problems, it's important to note that Propranolol can exacerbate gastrointestinal issues. It would be advisable to discuss these concerns with your healthcare provider to ensure the safety and effectiveness of your medication regimen.
