I'm having this issue where my heart seems to race and my hands go numb. It gets really intense, like my heartbeat skyrockets, especially at night. Last night it happened again, and it's not the first time it also occurred about 15 days ago. I got an ECG done, and while my heart rate was really fast, my blood pressure was normal. What's going on here? Why is this happening to me?

I've been dealing with some issues since recovering from COVID back in April 2021. It's been a while, but about ten days after testing positive, I started feeling fine. However, from May 10th, I've had this chest painit happens especially when I move my upper body or when I'm lying down. There's this tenderness feeling right in the center and around my chest. I've been taking CCM tablets twice a day for a month now. I've done all sorts of tests like chest X-ray, ECG, chest CT scan, CBC, CRP, and D-dimer, and everything's come back normal. But despite all that, I'm still not getting good, deep sleep. Could you please offer some advice on what might be going on? I'm really looking for some guidance.

I'm really worried because last night my pulse rate was 130 after dinner, and I ended up taking Metocard XL 25 before heading to the hospital. They did an ECG and just sent me back home. But today, I've been feeling the same way. What should I do? Any suggestions?

It seems like you are experiencing a high pulse rate. Metocard XL 25 is a brand name for Metoprolol, which is a beta-blocker medication. In this case, you can continue taking Metocard XL 25 as prescribed by your doctor. Additionally, you may also consider lifestyle modifications such as reducing stress, avoiding caffeine, and getting regular exercise. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I've been feeling strange sensations in my heart, especially when I get home after work, and at first I thought it was from drinking too much coffee. I've cut down on coffee but the feeling is still there. I do drink 2 coffees and 4 cups of tea every day. I also exercise regularly, like doing push-ups and lifting weights. Should I be worried about these symptoms? Could it be linked to my caffeine intake, or might there be something else going on?
