I'm experiencing these palpitations alongside some gas. Could this be related to my heart or are the palpitations just caused by the gas? I was wondering if it's necessary to get an ECG. Could you give me some guidance on this?

Palpitations and gas can be caused by various factors, including heart issues and gastrointestinal problems. To address palpitations, it is important to rule out any underlying heart conditions. I recommend you consult with a cardiologist for further evaluation and to consider an ECG to assess your heart's electrical activity. For gas relief, you can try over-the-counter medications like Simethicone (Gas-X) to help alleviate symptoms.

I've been diagnosed with MVP with mild MR and was really anxious during the echocardiogram. My doctor prescribed Concor 2.5, but since I started taking it, I've been experiencing palpitations all over my body. Could this mean I've developed irregular rhythms? I'm really worried, and my neck is tingling often. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

It sounds like you may be experiencing side effects from Concor (Bisoprolol) 2.5. The palpitations and irregular rhythms you are feeling could be due to the medication. I recommend contacting your doctor to discuss these symptoms. In the meantime, you can consider switching to a different beta-blocker such as Metoprolol (Lopressor) at a lower dose. Make sure to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management of your symptoms.

I've been dealing with some issues since recovering from COVID back in April 2021. It's been a while, but about ten days after testing positive, I started feeling fine. However, from May 10th, I've had this chest painit happens especially when I move my upper body or when I'm lying down. There's this tenderness feeling right in the center and around my chest. I've been taking CCM tablets twice a day for a month now. I've done all sorts of tests like chest X-ray, ECG, chest CT scan, CBC, CRP, and D-dimer, and everything's come back normal. But despite all that, I'm still not getting good, deep sleep. Could you please offer some advice on what might be going on? I'm really looking for some guidance.

I'm really concerned about this condition called cough syncope. What kind of tests are usually done to confirm it? How can I be sure if what I'm experiencing is actually cough syncope?

To confirm a diagnosis of cough syncope, the following tests may be helpful: Electrocardiogram (ECG): This test can help rule out any underlying heart conditions that may be causing the syncope. Echocardiogram: This test uses sound waves to create a moving picture of the heart and can help evaluate the structure and function of the heart. Holter monitor: This is a portable device that continuously records the heart's electrical activity. It can help detect any irregular heart rhythms that may be associated with cough syncope. Tilt table test: This test involves being tilted at different angles to see if changes in position trigger syncope. Blood tests: These can help rule out other potential causes of syncope, such as anemia or electrolyte imbalances. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional to determine the appropriate tests needed for an accurate diagnosis of cough syncope.
