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 experiencing this really painful, pinching sharp heartache that makes it hard to breathe. It's mostly in the upper part of my left chest and lasts around 2 minutes. It's happened a couple of times even when I was on an empty stomach or just had some warm lemon water. I've had it at night before dinner too. I got some blood tests done, and they said my lymphocytes were high, but sugar was normal. I often feel short of breath while sitting too, and climbing stairs always makes me breathless. This month, its happened like three times. Do you have any ideas about what this could be?
Could be due to a condition called angina. Angina is chest pain or discomfort caused when your heart muscle doesn't get enough oxygen-rich blood. It may feel like pressure or squeezing in your chest. Given your symptoms and the fact that it has occurred multiple times, it is important to consult a healthcare professional for a proper evaluation and diagnosis. However, based on the information provided, you may benefit from taking medications such as Nitroglycerin sublingual tablets for immediate relief during episodes of chest pain. The usual dosage is 0.3 to 0.6 mg sublingually or chewed at the first sign of chest pain. Additionally, you may also be prescribed medications like Aspirin to prevent blood clot formation and reduce the risk of heart attack. The usual dosage is 75-325 mg once daily. It is important to follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management of your symptoms.

I'm seeing my blood pressure readings at 10766 and 10866is that normal or is it considered low? Do you think I need to do something about it?
Your blood pressure readings of 10766 and 10866 are considered normal, as they fall within the optimal range (less than 12080 mmHg); no immediate action is required, but maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet, regular exercise, stress management, and regular check-ups with your doctor, will help sustain optimal blood pressure levels.

I've been monitoring my blood pressure and it's usually around 13090 or 13787, which I'm not sure if that's high or normal. Do I need to be on any medication for this? At home, it's typically 13086, but at work, I've noticed it goes up to 14085 or sometimes even 14080. How can I keep my blood pressure at a healthy level? Should I be worried about these readings or is this something normal? Could you give me some advice on this?
it is normal
