I'm having some trouble with leg pain when I try to climb stairs, even just to the first floor. The pain seems to be worse in my calf muscle and I end up feeling really tired afterward. Is this something I should be worried about? Could it be a sign of a bigger issue, and what might help ease the pain?

View allI've been noticing something a bit unsettling recently, like my heart seems to be beating really hard, especially when I'm just lying down or relaxing. My resting heart rate is around 94bpm, which seems a bit high to me? Also, I can feel this strong pulse over my suprasternal notch and some weird tingling vibrations on the right side of my sternum near the carotid. Its almost like a sensation of anxiety, but I dont feel anxious at all. Could you give me some insight into what might be going on?
An ecg,cardiac markers and echo is advised to the patient, if reports are normal, advised a psychiatric opinion for anxiety..

I'm experiencing this odd sensation in my chest where it feels like my heart is having a spasm or beating irregularly for a few seconds. It's not exactly painful, just really weird, and it's been happening every few months. Sometimes it even feels like its happening in my right chest or arm, which made me think it might be nerve-related. I've had heart tests done in the past, and everything came back normal, but this sensation worries me. Also, whenever I stand up or walk upstairs, my heart rate jumps up to 150 bpm and then drops back to 100 bpm shortly after, which makes me wonder if I could have POTS. I often forget to check my pulse when this happens because it scares me so much. Could these spasms be related to muscles or nerves instead of my heart? Is it normal to experience this kind of chest pain and heart sensations for just a few seconds?
It sounds like you may be experiencing palpitations and chest pain, possibly related to your heart or nervous system. Given your history of normal heart tests and symptoms like random spasms and irregular heartbeats, it may be worth considering a condition called supraventricular tachycardia (SVT). SVT can cause sudden, rapid heartbeats and chest discomfort. In your case, since you also mention the possibility of POTS (Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome) and nerve-related symptoms, it would be important to discuss these new symptoms with your healthcare provider. For symptomatic relief, you can consider taking a beta-blocker medication like Metoprolol (e.g., Lopressor) at a starting dose of 25mg once daily, as it can help regulate your heart rate and reduce palpitations. However, it is crucial to consult with your doctor before starting any new medication to ensure it is safe and appropriate for you.
