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.

My echo showed mild mitral valve prolapse with trivial mitral regurgitation and trivial tricuspid regurgitation but no mitral stenosis. The doctor said there's a slight issue with my heart valve and prescribed nucoxia, pantocide, amixide, and liv52. They mentioned I'll be okay but I still get symptoms sometimes. Is this condition curable or will I eventually need surgery?

please consult CTVS for better advise.
