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?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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.

View allI've been dealing with constant chest pain for the last two months, and I'm 32. Could this be a sign of a heart problem, or is it just gas? The pain isn't spreading to other areas, and I'm not sure what's going on. Any insights?
Based on your description of constant chest pain for the past 2 months with no pain in any other area, it is important to rule out any potential heart-related issues. I recommend you take an over-the-counter antacid like Tums (calcium carbonate) for immediate relief if it is related to gas. However, it is crucial to consult a doctor for further evaluation and consider taking a low dose of aspirin for heart health.

I'm looking for some advice. My husband, who's 29 and weighs around 92 kg, has been feeling a pinching sensation in his chest and some pain in his left arm for about 45 days now. He's a non-smoker, drinks occasionally, and his parents both had heart attacks before. Our cardio doctor suggested a CT coronary angio test, which is non-invasive. About six months ago, he had episodes of increased heartbeats, anxiety, and sweating, and we did a bunch of tests like the 2D Echo Doppler, TMT, and trop T, which all came back normal in September 2018. I'm wondering if this is a good step to take to get more clarity on what's happening with him. Are there any side effects from this test we should be aware of, and is there anything specific we should do to prepare before he takes the test?

I'm really confused and a bit anxious about this chest tightness that happens whenever I lie down flat or stretch my left hand. It's been going on for about three months. I went to an orthopedic doctor who said it's probably due to poor posture and muscle spasm. Then I saw a cardiologist, had all the tests like ECG, echocardiogram, TMT, and even checked my cholesterol and BP. Everything was normal except for my cholesterol which was a bit high at 196, and LDL at 121.8. The cardiologist said I don't have heart issues and just need to change my lifestyle and lose some weight. But I wanted a second opinion, so I visited another cardiologist and even without any new tests, he said the same thing that everything's normal. Still, I feel this tightness at night and sometimes it makes me sweat and I get really scared thinking it might be a heart attack. When I went back to the cardiologist, he reassured me again. So, should I keep doing ECGs every time I feel this tightness or maybe see a pulmonologist? Why does this keep happening if everything's supposed to be normal?
since your age is not too much i suggest reduce your anxiety related to heart attack. try doing some exercise
