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'm really worried because I fainted like 45 times yesterday while I was with my boyfriend. It all started when I suddenly passed out while hugging and kissing him. He managed to wake me up each time and even gave me some chocolate to eat, but I kept fainting again after a few minutes. The whole time, he was holding me and trying to calm me down. I hadn't eaten anything since last night, except for a cup of milk then and another one this morning. Could this be because I didn't eat enough, or is it something more serious?

You experienced repeated fainting spells (syncope) while hugging and kissing your boyfriend. Possible causes: Medical Conditions 1. Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar): Lack of food intake, especially after milk consumption. 2. Dehydration: Insufficient fluid intake. 3. Anxiety or stress: Emotional distress. 4. Cardiovascular issues: Rare, but possible

Is it normal for my husband's resting heart rate to be 84 bpm? His heartbeat usually rates around 90, and we recently had an ECG done that showed his resting heart rate is 84 bpm. Does this sound okay?

Normal..

Why do cardiac arrests happen in the bathroom?

Water temperature,most often incidences of stroke or heart attack in the bathroom happen more in winter than in summer. Chilled water can cause the arteries to shrink and prevent blood flow to vital organs like the heart and brain.
