I'm experiencing something strange over the last couple of days. My pulse rhythm seems normal, but I've been having this weird fluttering sensation in my neck, kind of a vague feeling. It usually happens after I eat. I'm curious if this is something I should be concerned about. What could be causing this?
The symptoms you are describing, such as fluttering in the neck and a vague feeling, could be related to acid reflux or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) causing esophageal spasms. I recommend trying over-the-counter antacids like Tums or Rolaids to see if it helps with the symptoms. Additionally, you can try avoiding spicy and acidic foods, eating smaller meals, and not lying down immediately after eating. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I'm a bit concerned about my heart rate. It's usually around 96, but it goes up to 120 when I walk. I don't have any other symptoms and I've had a thyroid test, ECG, and echo done, all of which came back normal. The only thing on the ECG was sinus tachycardia. I did have mild Covid last April. Should I be worried about this, or will my heart rate settle down on its own over time?
Sinus tachycardia is a common condition where the heart rate is elevated but the heart rhythm is normal. Since your thyroid, ECG, and echo results are normal, and considering your history of mild COVID-19 last year, your elevated heart rate may be due to post-viral effects. In most cases, sinus tachycardia resolves on its own as the body recovers from the viral illness. To help manage your heart rate, you can try to reduce stress, stay hydrated, and ensure you are getting adequate rest. If your symptoms persist or worsen, you can consider taking a beta-blocker medication like Metoprolol at a low dose of 25mg once daily to help control your heart rate. However, it is important to consult with your doctor before starting any new medication. Monitoring your heart rate regularly and following up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation is recommended.
