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 been told I have grade 1 diastolic dysfunction, and my blood pressure has been pretty low over the last few years. Should I be worried about anything serious going on? My LDL and triglycerides levels aren't where they should be either. What do you think?
Grade 1 diastolic dysfunction can be managed by controlling blood pressure and addressing any underlying conditions. Since your blood pressure has been consistently low, it is important to investigate the cause further. Low blood pressure can be due to dehydration, heart problems, endocrine issues, or neurological conditions. In your case, with elevated LDL and triglyceride levels, it is important to focus on managing your cholesterol levels to reduce the risk of heart disease. I recommend starting with lifestyle modifications such as a healthy diet, regular exercise, and weight management. In addition, medication such as Atorvastatin can be prescribed to help lower your LDL levels. For your triglycerides, medications such as Fenofibrate can be considered. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
