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.

I'm a 27-year-old male with a family background of heart issues, and I've been struggling with some concerns about my health. I smoke and drink daily and recently got my tests done where my lipid profile showed high LDL, TG, Hscrp, and Lpa levels. I saw a cardiologist four months ago, and after undergoing an ECG and Stress Echo, everything was normal. However, I often have bronchitis, and a few days ago, I caught a cold and have had allergies. Lately, I've been feeling this pressure in the middle of my chest and having trouble breathing, along with dizziness while walking, which has been going on for around 34 days. There's also this dragging sensation on my left front shoulder. I went for another ECG, and it was normal, but there's still pressure in my throat and chest, with palpitations and anxiety. Could this be heart-related, or is something else going on?
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms related to your heart health, especially considering your family history of heart problems and your high lipid profile. Given your symptoms of pressure in the middle of the chest, breathing difficulties, dizziness, and dragging sensation on the left front shoulder, it is important to take these symptoms seriously. Considering your risk factors and symptoms, it would be advisable to start taking a medication to manage your high LDL, TG, Hscrp, and Lp(a) levels. I recommend starting with a statin medication like Atorvastatin 20mg once daily to help lower your cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart-related issues. Additionally, to help with your symptoms of chest pressure, palpitations, and anxiety, you can take a medication like Metoprolol 25mg twice daily to help manage these symptoms and reduce the workload on your heart. It is important to follow up with your cardiologist for further evaluation and management, as they may consider additional tests or adjustments to your treatment plan based on your current symptoms and risk factors.

I'm really worried about my father. He had a couple of small attacks, and then a major one, and we had to move him from Dhanbad to a Kolkata hospital. They did an angioplasty on the 28th, he had a 90% blockage in his main vessel and they put in a stent. He was discharged on the 1st, but the next day he was back in the hospital because water filled up near his lungs and heart, and he couldnt breathe. He was in CCU for about seven days and finally got out on the 13th of December. Recently, his BNP levels were 956, potassium 2.4, and serum creatinine 1.84, so the doctor switched his medication around. Now he's on concor 1.25 mg, prax 10 mg, eptus 50 mg, ivabrad 5 mg, ecosprin 75 mg, aztor 10 mg, potklor, and febutaz 40 mg since his uric acid was high. But since yesterday, he's having trouble breathing and can't sleep at night. What should we do?
-I'm sorry to hear about your father's condition. Given his recent medical history and symptoms, it's crucial to contact his doctor immediately, as difficulty breathing could indicate fluid retention or other complications. In the meantime, ensuring he st
