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.

I'm feeling a bit worried because I've had this pain in the middle of my chest, and when I got an ECG, it showed an abnormal Q wave in lead 3. It's the same result as a year ago when I had an ECG and then went through a TMT and an echo which both came back normal. Should I be getting another echo and TMT done now, or is it okay to hold off? Any guidance would be really helpful.
Based on your history of chest pain and abnormal q wave in lead 3 on ECG, it is important to continue monitoring your heart health. Since your previous TMT and echo were normal, it is reassuring. However, given the persistent abnormal q wave on ECG, it would be advisable to repeat the TMT and echo to ensure there have been no changes in your heart function. I recommend you to consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and to discuss the need for repeating the tests.

I've just turned 39 and I'm a bit concerned about some results from a pre-employment medical test I took. My blood pressure came out as 110 over 70, which I think is okay but I'm not sure. My total cholesterol is at 225, should I be worried about that? Also, the ECG report mentioned sinus bradycardia and I don't really know what that means. Is this something I should be concerned about?
You have a blood pressure of 11070, total cholesterol of 225, and sinus bradycardia on your ECG report. For your blood pressure of 11070, it falls within the normal range. A total cholesterol level of 225 is slightly above the recommended level of less than 200. You may consider lifestyle changes such as a healthy diet, regular exercise, and possibly medication like atorvastatin to lower your cholesterol levels. Sinus bradycardia is a condition where your heart rate is slower than normal. If you are not experiencing any symptoms such as dizziness, fatigue, or fainting, it may not be a cause for concern. However, if you have symptoms, you may need further evaluation by a cardiologist. Overall, it would be advisable to follow up with your healthcare provider for a more personalized assessment and management plan.
