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.

My brother just went through open heart surgery last month, and now he's been battling pneumonia for two weeks. He's been admitted to the ICU due to breathing issues. They did an ECG and discovered his heart function is down to 24. I'm really worried, and I'm wondering if we could take him on an 11-hour flight to the USA to address this situation. What do you think?
