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.

So I got my ECO and TMT tests done on June 14th, and everything came back normal. My blood pressure kind of bounces between 120145 and 8092. Since the TMT was negative, does this mean I definitely don't have any blockages? Should I be redoing these tests given my blood pressure numbers? I'm just trying to figure out if there's anything else I should be doing or checking on.

Hi, based on your normal Eco and TMT results from June 14th and considering your blood pressure readings between 120-145 and 80-92, as well as the negative TMT result indicating no blockage, there may not be an immediate need to repeat the same tests. However, it is important to continue monitoring your blood pressure regularly and follow up with your healthcare provider for further guidance on managing your blood pressure. If you have any concerning symptoms or if your blood pressure readings significantly change, it would be advisable to consult with your doctor for a personalized assessment and recommendations.

I'm a 23-year-old female, around 130 lbs, and I'm really anxious about health stuff recently, especially after reading about various symptoms. A while back, I had the flu with fever, diarrhea, and a low appetite, and though those symptoms are gone, I still feel weak and lightheaded. It got me worried about an electrolyte imbalance. I took two 150 mg doses of fluconazole for a candida infection right after my flu, and I read that's something that could affect potassium levels. Sometimes, I think I'm having heart palpitations, with my resting pulse varying from 59 to 75. It feels like my heart is either pounding or too weak at times. The lightheadedness often kicks in after I walk a lot or panic. I've been trying to up my potassium intake but can't seem to reach the 4700mg target. Do you think this could lead to a significant imbalance or even a cardiac issue?
