I sometimes get this weird shock-like feeling in my throat, and it kind of feels like its coming from my heart. I've already done some heart tests like an ECG and 2D echo, and both results were normal. This sensation just hits me out of nowhere. Could you help me figure out what this might be?

This sensation you are experiencing could be due to a condition called esophageal spasms. Esophageal spasms are abnormal contractions of the muscles in the esophagus, which is the tube that carries food from the mouth to the stomach. These spasms can sometimes cause a sensation of a shock-like feeling in the throat. To help alleviate these symptoms, you can try taking a medication like Diltiazem (brand name Cardizem) under the guidance of your doctor. The usual dosage for esophageal spasms is around 30-60 mg three to four times a day. Additionally, avoiding triggers such as hot or cold foods, caffeine, and alcohol may also help reduce the frequency of these spasms. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

View allI'm looking at my husband's ECG report, and it's got me a bit worried. It shows a heart rate of 77 bpm, with P at 97 ms, PR at 132 ms, QRS at 90 ms, and QTQTc at 357406 ms. Then it also says something about sinus rhythm, high voltage, and left ventricle. Does this all sound normal to you, or should we be rushing to the doctor? I'm feeling pretty anxious about it.
The report indicates high voltage in the left ventricle. Based on the information provided, the ECG findings suggest a normal sinus rhythm with high voltage in the left ventricle. There is no need for immediate doctor consultation based on this report. If your husband has any symptoms or concerns, it is advisable to follow up with his healthcare provider for further evaluation and management."
