I'm a 17-year-old guy and for the past three months, I've been having really frequent heart palpitations, like 4 to 5 times a day, sometimes even 6 or 7. It's just that feeling of my heart skipping a beat for a couple of seconds before it goes back to normal. It happens all of a sudden and I'm wondering if this could mean there's some heart disease going on. My resting pulse is 104. Also, I've noticed my hair has started thinning a bit. Could there be some link between the palpitations and things like nutritional deficiencies or low blood count?

It is important to investigate the cause of your frequent heart palpitations and elevated resting pulse rate. One possible connection between your symptoms of heart palpitations and hair thinning could be an underlying thyroid issue. I recommend consulting with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and testing. In the meantime, you can consider taking Propranolol 10mg for symptomatic relief of palpitations. However, this is not a definitive treatment and a proper diagnosis is necessary.

View allI've been having this burning sensation on the left side of my chest for the last three months. It's not super painful, more like an irritation, but sometimes it feels like pinpricks and can also move to my armpit and back. I've had a 2D Echo and two TMTs, and everything came back normal, but I'm still feeling this discomfort. Should I be worried about this? Do you think I should get another TMT or look into something else?
Considering your symptoms and the normal results of your previous tests, it is important to rule out acid reflux as a possible cause of your chest irritation. I recommend trying a proton pump inhibitor like Omeprazole 20mg once daily before breakfast for 4-8 weeks to see if it helps with your symptoms. Additionally, you can take antacids like Tums as needed for immediate relief. If the symptoms persist or worsen, further evaluation may be needed, but repeating the TMT may not be necessary at this point.

I've noticed that my heart rate has been fluctuating between 92 and 104 over the past couple of days, and I'm starting to get worried. I haven't been sleeping well and have been feeling really bloated too. Should I be concerned and see a doctor?
Not sleeping well and feeling bloated since 2 days. It is important to monitor your heart rate and symptoms closely. For elevated heart rate and trouble sleeping, you can try taking **Metoprolol** 25mg once daily to help lower your heart rate and improve sleep quality. Additionally, for bloating, you can try **Simethicone** 125mg after meals to help relieve bloating symptoms. Make sure to stay hydrated and avoid foods that may exacerbate bloating.

I'm experiencing some discomfort on the left side of my chest and it's spreading to my left hand. The ribs in my chest are also aching. Could this be related to heart issues? I don't drink or smoke, so I'm really concerned about what might be causing this.
The symptoms you are describing, especially chest pain that radiates to the left hand, could be indicative of a heart problem. It is important to seek medical attention immediately. In the meantime, you can take Aspirin 325mg for possible heart-related chest pain. Please take one tablet while waiting for medical help.
