View allI'm getting these weird feelings where it seems like my heart is struggling to beat at times. Sometimes, out of nowhere, I get these intense palpitations that eventually settle down, but it's really unsettling. Another thing I've noticed is that just when I'm about to burp, the palpitations get much stronger and faster, which honestly freaks me out a bit. Any idea what might be happening?
These symptoms could be related to acid reflux causing irritation of the esophagus, which in turn can trigger palpitations. I recommend trying over-the-counter antacids like Tums (500mg) or Maalox (5ml) to help with the acid reflux. Additionally, you can try avoiding trigger foods like spicy or fatty foods, caffeine, and alcohol. If the symptoms persist, it's important to consult with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm wondering if I should consider getting an angiography. This morning I had a TMT, and back in 2012, I had a stent surgery because of a blockage. I have all the screenshots of my TMT report. What do you think?
Based on your history of stent surgery in 2012 and the recent TMT conducted in the morning, it is important to assess the current status of your coronary arteries to determine if there is any blockage or narrowing that may require intervention. Angiography is a common procedure used to visualize the coronary arteries and identify any blockages. Considering your history and the recent TMT results, it would be advisable to proceed with angiography to get a clearer picture of the condition of your coronary arteries. This will help in determining the appropriate course of action, whether it involves medical management, further interventions, or monitoring. Please consult with your healthcare provider to discuss the next steps and to schedule the angiography procedure. It is important to follow up on any recommendations based on the results of the angiography to ensure optimal management of your cardiac health.

What does left ventricle preponderance mean? My dad got diagnosed with it and sometimes he experiences blackouts and shortness of breath, plus his blood pressure drops really low. Could all these be connected? What should we be doing about it?
Left Ventricular Preponderance might be an indication of structural changes or function issues in the heart. It could be associated with other heart conditions that affect the efficiency of the left ventricle. The symptoms your father is experiencing, including blackouts, shortness of breath, and low blood pressure, warrant further evaluation and management by a cardiologist. Proper diagnosis and treatment will help in managing his condition and preventing complications.
