I'm feeling really worried because I've been dealing with fatigue for about 20 days now, and it just doesn't seem to go away. I've also had some headaches on and off. Could these be signs of a heart attack?

Fatigue and headache are not specific symptoms of a heart attack. However, it is important to pay attention to any unusual symptoms you may be experiencing. Fatigue and headache can be caused by various factors such as stress, lack of sleep, dehydration, or underlying medical conditions. It is recommended to consult a healthcare professional for a proper evaluation and diagnosis.

I'm experiencing just mild chest pain that's been on the left side and it's been going on since morning. It hasn't stopped. What would you suggest I do?

Chest pain, especially if it's persistent and on the left side, can be concerning. It's important to rule out any serious conditions like a heart attack. I recommend taking a tablet of Aspirin 325mg immediately and seeking medical help. Aspirin can help reduce the risk of blood clots. It's important to get evaluated by a healthcare professional as soon as possible to determine the cause of your chest pain.

I'm feeling like there's an earthquake happening inside me all day long and I've got this little chest pain that's worrying me. I went to a cardiologist a few days back, and they did an ECG and an echo, both of which turned out normal. They prescribed some anxiety meds for the night, but they haven't helped at all and I'm still feeling the same. I'm really anxious about whether this could cause any serious heart issues in the long run. Do you have any advice or solutions that could help me out?

It sounds like you may be experiencing palpitations along with chest pain. Since your ECG and echo were normal, it is less likely to be related to a serious heart problem. However, persistent symptoms should be further evaluated. I recommend trying a beta-blocker medication such as Metoprolol (25-50mg) once daily to help with the palpitations and chest pain. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques such as deep breathing exercises or meditation may also help alleviate your symptoms. If the symptoms persist, it would be best to follow up with your cardiologist for further evaluation and management.
