I'm feeling a pulse in the right side of my neck, especially noticeable when I'm lying down. Is this something I should be worried about? Could it be a sign of something serious? Just want to know if there's anything suspicious going on.
More Cardiology Health Queries
View allI'm 24 and have been doing endurance training for the last four years. Recently, I found out I have a mitral prolapse after visiting a cardiologist because of an irregular pulse. The doctor said my heart rate is normal based on the Holter Monitoring Test and told me to avoid heavy activities but didn't prescribe any meds. I've been asked to do a 2D Echo test yearly. Given my background in fitness, I'm curious if it's okay for me to keep up with moderate levels of running and cycling. What do you think?
It is important to follow the advice of your cardiologist to avoid putting strain on your heart. However, you can continue with moderate levels of Running and Cycling. To support your heart health, you can take a beta-blocker medication such as Metoprolol at a low dose as prescribed by your doctor. This medication can help regulate your heart rate and reduce the strain on your heart during physical activities. Remember to have regular follow-ups with your cardiologist and monitor your heart health closely.

I'm feeling some discomfort with a bit of pain and gas on my left side. I've attached my ECG report. Could you take a look at it and let me know if everything seems normal? Also, how can I tell the difference between gas issues and heart-related pain?
To distinguish between gas pain and heart pain, gas pain is often described as a sharp, jabbing pain that may move around and is usually accompanied by bloating or burping. Heart pain, on the other hand, is typically a dull, pressure-like discomfort that may radiate to the arm, neck, or jaw, and is often associated with other symptoms like shortness of breath or sweating. If you are experiencing persistent or severe chest pain, it is important to seek medical attention for further evaluation and management. In the meantime, you can try taking an over-the-counter antacid like Tums for gas relief.
