I'm experiencing some heart palpitations and my pulse rate is around 90. I recently did an ECG, 2D ECO, and blood tests including the complete blood count, but everything came back normal. I'm just trying to figure out what could be causing these palpitations. Any thoughts on what might be going on?

The normal test results indicate that there may not be a serious underlying issue causing your heart palpitations. However, there are several potential reasons for experiencing heart palpitations despite normal test results. Some common causes include anxiety, stress, caffeine intake, dehydration, anemia, thyroid disorders, or certain medications. In your case, since the tests have already been done and are normal, I would recommend trying to manage stress levels, reducing caffeine intake, staying hydrated, and ensuring a balanced diet. If palpitations persist or worsen, a medication like Metoprolol (25-50mg) can be prescribed to help regulate your heart rate.

View allI'm really worried about my lipid profile results. My triglycerides and total cholesterol are both at 172, VLDL is 95.5, and HDL is 42. Plus, my TMT test showed ischemia. I'm experiencing some issues with my body. What kind of treatment should I consider? Would really appreciate your advice on this.
based on your lipid profile results and the presence of ischemia on your TMT test, it indicates that you have high levels of VLDL cholesterol and triglycerides, and low HDL cholesterol. To help improve your lipid profile and reduce the risk of cardiovascular issues, I recommend the following treatment: - Start taking Atorvastatin (brand name Lipitor) 20mg once daily to lower your total cholesterol levels. - Add Fenofibrate (brand name Tricor) 145mg once daily to specifically target and lower your triglyceride levels. - Increase your intake of Omega-3 fatty acids by consuming foods like fatty fish or consider taking Omega-3 supplements. - Make lifestyle changes such as following a healthy diet low in saturated fats and sugars, engaging in regular physical activity, and avoiding smoking. For your body problems, it would be best to consult with a healthcare provider for a proper evaluation and diagnosis.

I just found out there are blockages in both arteries on the left and right sides of my heart. The doctor said they're about 6 to 8 months old. Should I be worried about how old these blockages are and what kind of treatment is usually recommended for this? I'm feeling a bit anxious about what this means for my health going forward.
As there are 2 vessels blocked you can be on conservative management and closely monitored if needed stenting might be done,follow your doctors advice

I've been having this chest pain and heaviness, and sometimes it feels like I'm short of breath, especially when I'm walking. I got an ECG and a chest x-ray, and they came back normal. I went to a nearby clinic just a couple of days ago for the same issue. I can't help but think I might have angina, but no doctor has confirmed this. They usually just check my pulse rate and listen to my heartbeat with a stethoscope and tell me everything's fine. Should I be worried about this, or can I trust the tests and what the doctors have said so far? Would love some guidance!
Since your symptoms are persisting, it's important to consider other causes of chest pain apart from heart-related issues. One common condition that can cause similar symptoms is acid reflux or GERD. You can try taking Omeprazole (brand name Prilosec) 20mg once daily before breakfast for 2 weeks to see if your symptoms improve. Additionally, you can also take Ranitidine (brand name Zantac) 150mg twice daily for immediate relief of chest pain. However, if your symptoms persist or worsen, it's advisable to consult a gastroenterologist for further evaluation and management.
