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 really into sports and focus on my diet, but I've been wondering about something. Does eating high carbs actually increase VLDL cholesterol levels? And if so, what kind of carbs are more responsible for this hike? I've been sticking to complex carbs like brown rice, whole grains, and legumes. Just want to make sure I'm on the right track. Can you shed some light on this?
High carbohydrate intake, especially simple carbohydrates, can lead to an increase in VLDL cholesterol levels. Simple carbohydrates, such as those found in sugary foods and drinks, can raise VLDL levels more significantly compared to complex carbohydrates. Complex carbohydrates like brown rice, whole grains, and legumes are a better choice as they have a lower impact on VLDL cholesterol levels. To help lower VLDL cholesterol, you can continue consuming complex carbs like brown rice, whole grains, and legumes in your diet.

I'm trying to figure out how long the results of a treadmill test are good for. I had mine done about 28 days ago, and it was negative. I'm also curious about how long an ECG test stays valid. Can you help me out with this?
A treadmill test (TMT) result is typically considered valid for about 6 months to 1 year, depending on the individual's health condition and any changes in symptoms. Since your TMT was negative 28 days ago, it should still be considered valid. As for an ECG test, it is generally valid for a shorter period, usually around 1-2 weeks. If you have any concerns or new symptoms, it is advisable to consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation.
