Question 1

clear ecg and clear bloods , but jaw pain, left arm pain and chest pain, could anxiety be the cause? i'm so scared of heart problems

Accepted Answer

Yes: given your age and assuming no risk factors (diabetes, HTN, smoking, birth control pills) and a normal echocardiogram - it is probably related to your anxiety attacks.

Question 2

pain in forehead, upper jaw, lower back of head for 2 days. sinus? viral or bacterial? scared too much motrin will cause heart problems.....

Accepted Answer

Exam: You must be examined. Your symptoms cannot realistically be diagnosed online. Use Tylenol (acetaminophen) instead of Motrin and call for an appointment.

Question 3

hypochondriac from anxiety? i read symptoms of certain things online (ie. brain tumor, heart problems, etc) and "give" myself the issue right away.

Accepted Answer

Anxiety: Very common & treatable. Get appointment with a psychotherapist first.

Question 4

yesterday and today i have had chest, shoulder, jaw, and neck pain on my right side, not my left...could i be having heart problems?

Accepted Answer

Not likely: There's no way to know for certain without an exam and an ECG.  However at your age, and with symptoms that are not typical, it is unlikely.  Still, if the problem persists I'd recommend seeing a physician.

Question 5

what does it mean if you get light headed easily especially  when arms above head diabetes & heart problems run in family should i be concerned?

Accepted Answer

Yes: There are many reasons for getting dizzy, such as a drop in heart rate or blood pressure, hyperventilation, or even drop in blood sugar.  But i recommend at your age, that you avoid alcohol, caffeine and keep yourself well hydrated and go see your md to have yourself checked out for all above issues.

Question 6

iron lowest ever been (60) but ferritin is still good at 160. why is this? can this explain my symptoms of difficulty breathing and head pounding? no covid, heart problems, thyroid, etc?

Accepted Answer

: Iron or ferritin levels have no effect on exercise tolerance or breathing difficulty -- only if low enough to be causing severe iron deficiency anemia, and iron level of 60 isn't nearly low enough to do it. This is something that needs in-person medical attention. If your symptoms are severe or sudden onset, get care immediately. Good luck.

Question 7

hi. red face burning,  hands cold, shaking feeling too cold, 120 pulse, feeling sleepy, presure in head and eyes. heart problems or just a flu? thanks

Accepted Answer

Shaking: the described symptoms and features are not typical of cardiac issues.  Perhaps you are experiencing rigors, a temperature check would greatly helped in narrowing down the differential list, physical symptoms off an illness might be exaggerated due to your history of anxiety

Question 8

does heartbreak cause heart problems or health problems?

Accepted Answer

Yes , kind of: Strong emotional events such as loss of a loved one can cause what's called broken heart syndrome or taku tsubo which can present like a heart attack with no evidence of blockages but with weak heart muscle and usually responds to medical therapy and improves with time.

Question 9

which type of heart problems cause anxiety?

Accepted Answer

Anxiety: People with anxiety get it from all kinds of heart problems. People without anxiety disorder generally get anxious when they don't understand their heart problem, or for the life threatening ones when they do.

Question 10

can pain killers cause heart problems?

Accepted Answer

Narcotics?: If by pain killers, you mean narcotics, they're not directly harmful per se, in fact, morphine is a time honored treatment for both heart attack (myocardial infarction) and acute heart failure (pulmonary edema) - however, IV drug abusers are at grave risk for infecting their heart valves (endocarditis) which is a lethal disease unless promptly treated (and sometimes requires open heart surgery).
