Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. If you are experiencing recurrent chest pressure and pain, both at rest and after eating, this could be a symptom of a heart-related issue. I strongly recommend that you visit a hospital to undergo an ECG (electrocardiogram) and a troponin I blood test as soon as possible. If both tests come back normal, the issue might be due to either a non-cardiac condition or a mild heart problem. To differentiate between these, various diagnostic tests are available, with the treadmill test being one of the most common.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I believe when you mention regular exercise, you are referring to both muscle-building activities and aerobic exercises. The symptoms you described were sudden-onset palpitations associated with continuous dizziness, and by the time you reached the ER, the palpitations had settled. Is that correct? You had a normal ECG (taken when the symptoms subsided) and a normal TMT. Although these results are reassuring, they do not completely rule out disease.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. Your query seems to have three parts. First, sinus arrhythmia in an otherwise asymptomatic individual with no major health issues is generally not a cause for concern. In fact, less than 30 percent of people under 31 years of age experience sinus arrhythmia. Therefore, there is no need to worry about sinus arrhythmia in your case.
Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. As per your description, your current medical concerns are autonomic dysfunction and hypothyroidism.

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. Bicuspid aortic valve (BiAV) is a common condition affecting one to two percent of world's population. There are millions of people with the bicuspid aortic valve.

Hi, Welcome to icliniq.com. So, as you mentioned, you feel tired and, more importantly, feeling chest heaviness while performing home chores and climbing stairs or streets. CAD (coronary artery disease) is caused when there is a partial or complete obstruction in the blood vessels supplying the muscles of the heart. This leads to the decreased blood supply to the muscles when the affected person is performing exercise and needs more blood to the heart muscles. The decrease in blood supply leads to angina which commonly presents not as chest pain but as chest heaviness in the central chest, a feeling that some heavyweight is kept on the chest.

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I have gone through your report (attachment removed to protect patient identity). There are two abnormalities mentioned in your ECG (electrocardiography). I have put abnormalities word in quotations because the mentioned abnormalities can be normal if there is no underlying heart disease, meaning thereby, they can be found in a person with no heart disease. The mentioned abnormalities are: Sinus bradycardia and sinus arrhythmia: It means your heart rate at the time of ECG was less than 60 beats per minute, and there were heart rate variations with breathing.
