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 24 and I've been noticing my heart rate is usually under 60 beats a minute. Should I be worried about this, or is it normal? I weigh 120kg, and I'm 5'10". Also, I was diagnosed with GERD a few weeks back and have been on medication for it. Is it okay for my resting heart rate to be in the 50s?
A resting heart rate below 60 beats per minute is known as bradycardia. In your case, with a history of GERD and being on medication, it is important to consider the overall clinical picture. However, in general, a heart rate in the 50s can be normal for some individuals, especially those who are physically fit. Given your weight and height, it would be advisable to monitor your heart rate regularly and consult with your healthcare provider if you experience any symptoms such as dizziness, fainting, chest pain, or shortness of breath. It is important to ensure that your GERD medication is not causing any adverse effects on your heart rate.
