I'm really concerned and a bit confused about something. After having angioplasty, I've noticed I tend to sweat a lot on my head. Im wondering if this is something common for heart patients or if it could be a sign of something else going on. What might be causing this?

I'm Sanjay, and I've been dealing with this small pin-point pain in my chest for the last two months. I saw a local doctor who suggested getting an ECG and blood tests. After the tests, he said my heart's fine and linked the pain to gastric issues. He prescribed Rablet D and Met XL. Could you have a look at my ECG and let me know if there's really no heart issue? I'm a non-smoker, non-drinker, weighing 59 kg, and I'm 158 cm tall. I've uploaded my ECG, blood test, and TMT 2D Echo reports. Can you help me figure this out?

As per your ECG report, there is no problem with your heart. The chest pain you are experiencing is likely due to gastric issues, as mentioned by your doctor. The medications prescribed to you are: - Rablet D (Dosage: 1 tablet before breakfast) - Met XL (Dosage: As prescribed by your doctor) Continue taking these medications as advised by your doctor. Additionally, you can try to avoid spicy and oily foods, eat smaller meals more frequently, and avoid lying down immediately after eating to help with your gastric symptoms. If the chest pain persists or worsens, please follow up with your doctor for further evaluation.

I'm experiencing a bit of chest pressure both in the mornings when I wake up and again at night. It's starting to really worry me, and I'm not sure what could be causing it. Can you help me figure out what's going on? I'm genuinely concerned.

A small chest pressure in the morning and at night could be due to acid reflux or heartburn. I would recommend trying over-the-counter antacids like Tums or Rolaids to see if it helps alleviate the symptoms. You can take 1-2 tablets as needed after meals and before bedtime. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to consult a doctor for further evaluation and management.
