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?

View allI'm a bit concerned because this morning and afternoon I noticed I'm having some trouble with shortness of breath and some on-and-off pain in my left armpit area. I went for a 4 km walk this evening and felt a bit better afterward, with not as much shortness of breath. Could these symptoms be related to my recent COVID recovery a few months ago? I used fabiflu, dolo, and multivitamins during that time. Also, I've had gastric issues that seem to have worsened post-COVID, and I'm on suloxid o for that. What could be going on with me?

Hey there, so my wife had some trouble breathing last Sunday night. We managed to see a doctor by Tuesday, and after doing an ECG, we found out theres this change called ischemia. The doctor said it's not serious and not to worry, and we even did an echo which turned out normal. But they still prescribed ecosprin tabs, and now I'm a bit confused. Is this something I should be really worried about, or can I take it easy since the doc said it's normal? Could this become a serious issue down the line? Is it one of those things that just come and go, or might it stick around for life? She's only 35, and we have no family history of heart problems, so what's up with this? What should we do to make sure her heart stays healthy?
1. The doctor's assessment that the ischemia shown on the ECG is not serious and normal is reassuring. Ecosprin (Aspirin) is commonly prescribed to prevent blood clots and reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke. It is important to follow the doctor's advice and continue taking the medication as prescribed. 2. As per the current evaluation and prescription of ecosprin, the likelihood of serious issues later should be reduced. However, it is essential to follow up with regular check-ups and adhere to any further recommendations from the doctor. 3. Ischemia can be a temporary or chronic condition depending on the underlying cause. In this case, since the echo was normal and the doctor reassured that everything is okay, it may not necessarily be a lifetime disease. However, ongoing monitoring and lifestyle modifications may be necessary. 4. The presence of ischemia at the age of 35 without a family history of cardiac issues raises the importance of evaluating other risk factors such as smoking, high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, obesity, and physical inactivity. These factors can contribute to the development of heart conditions at a younger age. 5. Since there is no known cardiac history in the family, it is crucial to focus on lifestyle modifications such as maintaining a healthy diet, regular exercise, avoiding smoking, managing stress, and attending follow-up appointments with the doctor for monitoring. 6. Precautions that can be taken include following a heart-healthy diet low in saturated fats and cholesterol, engaging in regular physical activity, maintaining a healthy weight, managing stress levels, avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol consumption,

I'm experiencing some heart palpitations and my pulse rate is around 90. I recently did an ECG, 2D ECO, and blood tests including the complete blood count, but everything came back normal. I'm just trying to figure out what could be causing these palpitations. Any thoughts on what might be going on?
The normal test results indicate that there may not be a serious underlying issue causing your heart palpitations. However, there are several potential reasons for experiencing heart palpitations despite normal test results. Some common causes include anxiety, stress, caffeine intake, dehydration, anemia, thyroid disorders, or certain medications. In your case, since the tests have already been done and are normal, I would recommend trying to manage stress levels, reducing caffeine intake, staying hydrated, and ensuring a balanced diet. If palpitations persist or worsen, a medication like Metoprolol (25-50mg) can be prescribed to help regulate your heart rate.
