I'm having these weird experiences when I'm about to fall asleep, like when I'm in that transition phase. It's like I feel this single, really strong heartbeat that kind of moves my whole body. Its kind of freaking me out. Ive attached my ECG can you help me figure out whats going on with this?

it could be due to a premature ventricular contraction (PVC). This is when the heart's lower chambers (ventricles) contract earlier than normal, causing an extra, abnormal heartbeat. It may feel like a strong thump in your chest. Based on the ECG you provided, it confirms the presence of PVCs. To manage this condition, you can take a beta-blocker medication such as Metoprolol (25-50mg) to help regulate your heart rhythm and reduce the occurrence of PVCs. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and monitoring.

I'm dealing with mild MVP and my MREF is at 60 percent. I've got a lot of anxiety and my stomach's frequently upset. Occasionally, I get palpitations, especially when I'm stressed out. What can I do to get rid of these symptoms?
based on your symptoms of mild mitral valve prolapse (MVP) with grade 1 mitral regurgitation (MR), anxiety, stomach upset, palpitations, and increased anxiety in stressful situations, I recommend the following treatment plan: 1. For anxiety, you can take a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) like Sertraline 50mg once daily. 2. For palpitations, you can take a beta-blocker like Metoprolol 25mg once daily. 3. For stomach upset, you can take an antacid like Omeprazole 20mg once daily before breakfast. 4. Practice stress-reducing techniques such as deep breathing exercises, meditation, or yoga. 5. Avoid caffeine, alcohol, and tobacco as they can worsen anxiety and palpitations. 6. Follow up with your doctor regularly to monitor your symptoms and adjust treatment as needed. I hope this treatment plan helps alleviate your symptoms

I'm a bit concerned because my ECG showed some middling left axis deviation and my cholesterol levels aren't great either. On top of that, I've been having this back pain that seems to radiate to my hand. Could these issues be related somehow? Should I be worried about any underlying health problems connecting these symptoms? Any advice on what steps I should take next?
Based on your description of middling left axis deviation on ECG, high cholesterol levels, and radiating back pain to your hand, it is important to address these issues. For middling left axis deviation on ECG, it is recommended to consult a cardiologist for further evaluation and management. For high cholesterol levels, you can start taking Atorvastatin (brand name Lipitor) at a dose of 10-20 mg once daily to help lower your cholesterol levels. For your back pain radiating to your hand, you can take Ibuprofen (brand name Advil) at a dose of 400 mg every 4-6 hours as needed for pain relief. Additionally, you may benefit from physical therapy to address the underlying cause of your back pain. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for a comprehensive evaluation and personalized treatment plan.
