I'm experiencing some left arm pain and dizziness lately, and I also have GERD issues. From time to time, I get this jaw pain too. Could this be something related to my heart? I had a Holter test done back in February and everything seemed normal, but I'm still a bit worried. Would really appreciate your insight on this.

I'm really concerned because every few days, I feel my heart beating really strongly, especially when I'm lying down. It's so intense that my whole upper body shakes with each heartbeat. I've had an ECG and an echo, and both came back normal, but these episodes still happen occasionally. What could be causing this? Should I be worried?
It sounds like you may be experiencing palpitations. Since your ECG and echo results came back normal, it's good to rule out any underlying heart conditions. In this case, you can try using a beta-blocker medication such as Metoprolol (brand name: Lopressor) at a low dose of 25mg to help reduce the strength and frequency of your heartbeats. It is important to follow up with your doctor to discuss this option and any potential side effects.

Ive been having trouble with my breathing, and my pulse rate is pretty high. My doctor mentioned something about sinus tachycardia and gave me propranolol to take. After using it for a couple of days, I've started to notice swelling in my fingers. What kind of tests or investigations do you think I should consider? And should I be worried about this swelling? Any advice would be really helpful.
Sinus tachycardia is a condition where the heart beats faster than normal. Since you are experiencing swelling on your fingers after taking propranolol, it is important to consult your doctor for a possible alternative medication. In terms of investigations, you may consider getting an ECG (Electrocardiogram) to monitor your heart's electrical activity and rule out any other underlying heart conditions. Additionally, a blood test to check electrolyte levels and thyroid function may be recommended. It is important to discuss these options with your healthcare provider for proper evaluation and management.
