I'm 25, and I've been dealing with this on-and-off pain in my left arm for about 15-20 days now. It was sharp and shooting at first, so I thought it might be gastritis, but now the pain's more dull and constant. Lately, for about a week, I've been feeling breathless sometimes, and there's some nausea too. I get tired pretty quick and now there's this annoying discomfort in my upper back. Should I be looking into any specific tests or is there something else I should be considering?

I've recently had a TMT test done and I'm trying to wrap my head around the results. The test summary says Total Time is 631, Max HR Attained is 184 bpm, and it's 96% of my target, which is 191. It also mentions Max BP is 190100 and Max workload is 7.6 with Bruce Protocol. My doctor said everything looks fine and that I shouldn't worry, but I just want to make sure all these values are normal. Could you help me understand if there's anything I should be concerned about or if it's all really okay?

I'm concerned about my heart rateit's usually over 100, and I get palpitations a lot. When I'm just lying in bed, my heart rate gets between 110-120, and even just climbing up one flight of stairs sends it up to 160. My thyroid levels are normal, though I do have a thyroid nodule. My haemoglobin is at 9, and my BMI is normal. I also have spondyloarthropathy and hidradenitis suppurativa, so my CRP and ESR levels are high. I've attached an ECG from my Apple Watch that I took during the palpitations. Is such a high heart rate normal?
Based on your symptoms and medical history, it seems like you may be experiencing tachycardia, which is an abnormally high heart rate. Given your palpitations, breathlessness, and elevated heart rate even with minimal exertion, it is important to further evaluate the underlying cause. Considering your conditions and symptoms, I recommend you consult a cardiologist for a thorough evaluation. In the meantime, to help manage your symptoms, you can consider taking **Metoprolol** at a starting dose of 25mg once daily. This medication can help lower your heart rate and reduce palpitations. It is crucial to monitor your heart rate regularly and keep a record to share with your healthcare provider for a more accurate assessment and management plan.
