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've been really anxious since hearing about a friend's sudden heart attack while they were sleeping. That same night, I felt my heart racing, and I couldn't sleep because I was so worried it might happen to me too. The day after, I went to the doctor, got an ECG and a blood test, and was told everything looked fine. But ever since, I haven't been able to get good sleep, and I'm really scared. My heart has been feeling weird, like a poking pain, and my shoulder hurts on and off too. I'm freaked outdo you think I should be worried about something serious?
It is understandable to feel anxious after hearing about someone's sudden death from a heart attack. However, based on your description and the tests done by your doctor, it seems that there is no immediate concern regarding your heart health. The ECG and blood tests did not show any problems, which is a good sign. The symptoms you are experiencing, such as rapid heartbeats, fear, difficulty sleeping, heart pain, and shoulder pain that comes and goes, could be related to anxiety and stress. It is common for anxiety to manifest physically, including chest discomfort and shoulder pain. To help alleviate your symptoms, you can try relaxation techniques, deep breathing exercises, and mindfulness practices. In some cases, your doctor may prescribe medications such as **anxiolytics** to help manage your anxiety symptoms. Additionally, engaging in regular physical activity, maintaining a healthy diet, and getting enough sleep can also contribute to your overall well-being. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.

I've been taking a tablet every day for my blood pressure, and now my doctor has also prescribed stemetil MD 5 mg twice a day for 5 days. I'm just wondering if there are any interactions or side effects I should be aware of with this combination?
Stemetil MD 5mg, containing prochlorperazine, is typically prescribed for nausea, vomiting, and vertigo, and taking it twice daily for 5 days is likely intended to address a specific symptom or condition, such as migraines or inner ear disturbances, rather than directly affecting your blood pressure management.

I've been experiencing some chest pain when I'm jogging or running. My diagnosis results, including the echo and ECG, came back normal. Could you please help me understand what might be causing this kind of pain?
Chest pain during physical activity like jogging and running, with normal results on echo and ECG, could be due to musculoskeletal causes such as muscle strain or costochondritis. It could also be related to conditions like acid reflux or anxiety. You can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen for muscle pain, or antacids for acid reflux. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques for anxiety may also help. If the pain persists or worsens, further evaluation may be needed.
