Heart valve issues, if left untreated, can be serious and even life-threatening. Treatment options include medication, minimally invasive procedures, and surgery, with the specific approach depending on the severity and type of valve problem. In Ahmedabad, for heart valve problems, consult with a cardiologist and consider hospitals with a strong cardiac surgery program.

Question

I'm really confused about why I'm experiencing heart palpitations even when I'm not feeling anxious. For the past year, I've been dealing with anxiety and have been taking etizolem and propranolol for a few months to help with it. But if I miss just one dose of etizolem, my heart starts racing and feels very uncomfortable. It's really scary. Is it possible that these palpitations are more related to anxiety, like my psychiatrist suggests, or could it be something else, maybe related to my heart? I haven't had panic attacks or any other anxiety symptoms recently, just the palpitations when I skip the medication.

I'm experiencing this chest heaviness and heavy breathing whenever I walk or do any small physical activities, and it's been going on for about three weeks now. I already went to my GP about two weeks ago and was on Azithromycin for three days, but it didnt really help. Yesterday, I started feeling some chest pain right in the center, and when I consulted a cardiologist online, they said it wasn't cardiac pain. But this morning after a little activity post-breakfast, I felt the same heaviness and then a dull pain in the center of my chest. It only lasts about 2 seconds and then disappears for a minute. The pain doesn't get worse when I breathe deeply either. Just wondering what's going on and what I should do next. Any thoughts?

My dad recently had an ECG which turned out normal, but his TMT results showed positive for exercise-induced ischemia. I'm quite worried because his hemoglobin level is really low at 8.8. Do you think he needs an angiogram? I'm not sure what the best next steps are, and would appreciate your guidance.
