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've been experiencing some concerning symptoms and I could really use some advice. My heart rate is around 50-60 when I'm lying down and my SPO2 is 98 with an RR of 16. Lately, I've been having chest pains that feel like needles. They last for just a few seconds or sometimes up to a couple of minutes. I had these issues about two months ago and got an ECG and a stress test done back then, both of which were normal. But now the pains on my left side have started coming back. Should I be doing any additional tests, or does it sound like everythings okay?
It sounds like you may be experiencing episodes of angina, which are chest pains caused by reduced blood flow to the heart. Since your ECG and Stress Test results were normal 2 months ago, it is possible that the symptoms you are currently experiencing could be related to a different issue. However, it is important to rule out any cardiac concerns. I recommend that you undergo a Holter monitor test to continuously record your heart's activity over a period of 24-48 hours. This will help to capture any abnormal heart rhythms that may not be detected during a standard ECG. Additionally, an echocardiogram may be beneficial to assess the structure and function of your heart. In the meantime, to manage your symptoms, you can take Nitroglycerin sublingual tablets as needed for chest pain. The usual dosage is 0.3 to 0.6 mg every 5 minutes as necessary, up to 3 doses. If the chest pain persists or worsens, seek immediate medical attention. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
