I'm a 24-year-old male and I've been feeling this strong heartbeat when I'm sitting or lying down. It's like I can feel it in my stomach and chest for the past three days. I'm worried if this is something serious or just normal? A couple of months ago, I had some heart tests done like an ECG, echo, and TMT, and everything came back normal, including my lipid profile. But now my stomach seems to be moving with my heartbeat. Is this something I should be worried about?

based on your description and previous evaluations, it is possible that you are experiencing palpitations. Palpitations can be caused by various factors such as stress, anxiety, caffeine intake, or even certain medications. Since your heart evaluation tests were normal, it is less likely to be related to a serious heart condition. To help alleviate your symptoms, you can try reducing your caffeine intake, practicing stress-reducing techniques, and ensuring you are well-hydrated. In case the symptoms persist or worsen, you can consider taking a beta-blocker medication like Metoprolol 25mg once daily to help regulate your heart rate and reduce palpitations. However, if the symptoms persist or become more concerning, it is advisable to consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

View allI've noticed my BP readings have gone up, with today's being 14060. Is this considered high? Can I get it back to normal? Six months ago, my readings were around 13080 to 13090. Last night, I was under a lot of stress and didn't sleep well. I also skipped meals and generally don't have a very healthy lifestylestaying up late, waking up late, and not exercising much. I don't smoke, though. Any advice would be appreciated.
Sleep better and establish a consistent sleep routine. Eat on time, focus on a low-sodium, well-balanced diet. Exercise regularly. Manage stress through techniques like deep breathing, meditation, or exercise. Monitor your BP regularly and seek advice from a healthcare provider if needed.

I'm really worried about my mom. She's been having this pain on the left side of her chest, and it spreads to her shoulder blade and down her arm. It's been really tough for her because she also feels uncomfortable when she's swallowing, and the pain gets worse when she takes a deep breath. She's not dealing with a cold, cough, or fever, but even with the meds she's taking, nothing seems to be helping. Could you please help me understand what might be going on and how we can treat it?

I'm really worried about my dad who's 55 and has diabetes and high blood pressure. He went for a cardiac check-up about 10 days ago. The ECG came back abnormal but the 2D echo was normal, and the TMT report was positive. They started him on clopitab 75mg along with his regular meds for BP and diabetes, and now they've advised an angiogram. But here's the thing, he has no chest pain or symptoms, and he walks daily. I'm wondering if a CT angio might be a better option since it uses barium dye, and if the calcium score is negative, wed know theres less risk for a cardiac arrest. Could you give me some advice on this?
