I'm feeling some discomfort in a few spots on both sides of my chest. My HDL cholesterol is low, and I recently had a mildly positive TMT test. What do you think could be going on, and is there anything I should do?

View allI'm having these weird experiences when I'm about to fall asleep, like when I'm in that transition phase. It's like I feel this single, really strong heartbeat that kind of moves my whole body. Its kind of freaking me out. Ive attached my ECG can you help me figure out whats going on with this?
it could be due to a premature ventricular contraction (PVC). This is when the heart's lower chambers (ventricles) contract earlier than normal, causing an extra, abnormal heartbeat. It may feel like a strong thump in your chest. Based on the ECG you provided, it confirms the presence of PVCs. To manage this condition, you can take a beta-blocker medication such as Metoprolol (25-50mg) to help regulate your heart rhythm and reduce the occurrence of PVCs. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and monitoring.

I'm experiencing some palpitations over the past few days, so I decided to get an ECG done. It showed a slight elevation in v4 and v5. Could you check things over for me? My echo came back as normal.
The presence of slight ST elevation in V4 and V5 on an ECG can sometimes indicate issues such as early repolarization or, in more serious cases, ischemia or myocardial infarction. Given your palpitations and the ECG findings, it's important to follow up with a cardiologist, even if your echocardiogram (echo) is normal. The echo provides information on the structure and function of the heart, but the ECG findings and your symptoms warrant further evaluation to rule out any acute or chronic cardiac conditions.

Is it really possible to have pulmonary artery hypertension even when the pulmonary artery looks normal and there's no turbulence? I'm just trying to wrap my head around how that can happen. Could there be underlying issues or does it indicate a different problem? I'm a bit concerned and just trying to understand why this might occur.
Yes, it is possible to have pulmonary artery hypertension even with normal pulmonary artery anatomy and no turbulence. In such cases, the hypertension may be due to other underlying factors such as inflammation, vasoconstriction, or other vascular abnormalities. Treatment for pulmonary artery hypertension may include medications such as Sildenafil (Revatio) or Tadalafil (Adcirca) to help relax the pulmonary arteries and improve blood flow. Dosage and duration of treatment should be determined by a healthcare professional.
