View allI'm curious about what's happening with my heart. Sometimes my ECG shows these non-specific ST changes, and while my echo was normal, I'm still worried. I often feel chest discomfort and pains in my left arm. Is there something specific these ST changes could indicate, even though my ECG and echo seem alright? Could something be missed?
Non-specific ST changes on an ECG can be caused by various factors, including electrolyte imbalances, medications, anxiety, or even normal variation. Since your echocardiogram was normal, it is less likely to be related to a structural heart problem. However, given your symptoms of chest discomfort and left arm pains, it is important to continue monitoring and investigating further. To address your symptoms, you can try taking a medication like aspirin for chest discomfort (75-325mg once daily) and acetaminophen for pain relief in your left arm (500-1000mg every 4-6 hours as needed). Additionally, you may benefit from a medication like ranitidine for acid reflux if present (150mg twice daily). It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management of your symptoms.

I'm dealing with high blood pressure, around 12090 most of the time, and I've got hyper acidity too. Whenever I get that acidity feeling, it seems like my BP shoots up, and I also have GERD. A doctor said I have LV hypertrophy but my echo test came back normal. What kind of treatments would you recommend for this?
It sounds like your high BP and acidity are connected, as stress from GERD and acidity can worsen hypertension. It's important to manage both with lifestyle changes, like a balanced diet, regular exercise, and medications as prescribed. For better control, consider antacids or PPIs for acidity, and BP medication to manage your levels. Regular follow-ups with your doctor are essential to monitor your heart and BP.
