Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I feel chest pressure around my sternum with more pressure noted on the right. Exercise makes the discomfort diminish and anxiety increases the sense of pressure. When I drink ice water, it aggravates the tension in my heart and at times I get short of breath.
After going through the medical details provided by you I can understand your concern for your health and I would like to tell you that the symptoms which you are explaining all because of the stress and anxiety which you experience.
I would like to suggest you to start following healthy lifestyle changes which include daily morning exercises, a healthy diet rich in fibres, low carbs, take adequate sleep, no smoking, and start doing meditation.
Follow this routine strictly and make it a part of your life and you will feel the difference.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Bhanu Partap, Cardiologist
