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 a bit concerned after my routine ECG showed a short PR interval noted by the doctor as 0.11 ms and an S wave extending to V6. Can you tell me what these findings might mean and what steps I should take next?

An echo is advised to the patient.

I'm 17 years old and I've recently gotten some blood pressure readings like 13080 and 13081. I'm kind of worried and wondering if these numbers are normal for my age. Would appreciate some insight on this.

These blood pressure readings fall within the prehypertension range for your age group. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and make lifestyle changes to keep it in a healthy range. You can try to reduce your sodium intake, exercise regularly, maintain a healthy weight, and manage stress. If these measures are not enough to lower your blood pressure, you may need medication. I recommend you to consult with a doctor to discuss further evaluation and treatment options.
