Im feeling my heartbeat everywhere in my body, like in my arms, legs, chest, stomach, and even my head. I'm starting to wonder if that's normal or if there might be something wrong. Any advice on what this could mean?

Feeling your heartbeat throughout your body is not always a cause for concern, but it can sometimes indicate an underlying issue, especially if accompanied by other symptoms. Start by observing your symptoms, managing stress, and reducing stimulants. If the sensation persists or worsens, consult a doctor for further evaluation and tests.

Sinus bradycardia is a condition where the heart beats at a slower rate than normal, typically less than 60 beats per minute. It is caused by the sinus node in the heart sending electrical signals at a slower pace. Incomplete right bundle branch block (RBBB) is a condition where there is a delay in the electrical signal conduction in the right bundle branch of the heart. Symptoms of sinus bradycardia may include dizziness, fatigue, lightheadedness, confusion, shortness of breath, and chest pain. Incomplete RBBB may not cause any symptoms on its own, but it can be associated with underlying heart conditions. Further tests that may be required for sinus bradycardia and incomplete RBBB include an electrocardiogram (ECG) to confirm the diagnosis, a Holter monitor to monitor the heart's electrical activity over a period of time, an echocardiogram to assess the heart's structure and function, and possibly a stress test to evaluate the heart's response to physical activity. For sinus bradycardia, if symptoms are severe or if the heart rate drops too low, a medication like Atropine or Isoproterenol may be prescribed. In cases where bradycardia is persistent and symptomatic, a pacemaker implantation may be necessary. For incomplete RBBB, treatment is usually focused on managing any underlying heart conditions that may be causing the conduction delay. Medications like beta-blockers or calcium channel blockers may be prescribed to help regulate the heart's electrical activity. Remember, it is important to follow up with a healthcare provider for proper evaluation and management of these conditions.
