I'm having these weird palpitations and transient jerks in my chest that last for a couple of seconds. They seem to happen randomly, and it's really unsettling because it feels like my heart stops during those moments. I exercise regularly and don't feel any chest pain, which is odd. My ECG, 2D ECHO, and HOLTER ECG came back normal, so now I'm left wondering. Could I have some kind of cardiac blockage? Are these jerks something I should worry about, like signs of a potential cardiac arrest or another serious heart issue? If it's none of those, what could possibly be causing these sensations?

Based on your normal ECG, 2D ECHO, and HOLTER ECG reports, it's unlikely that you have cardiac blockage or are at risk of cardiac arrest; the transient jerks and palpitations could be caused by benign conditions such as premature atrial contractions (PACs), premature ventricular contractions (PVCs), anxiety, stress, caffeine, or dehydration; to better understand the cause, consider consulting a cardiologist for further evaluation,

View allI had an angioplasty on February 14th, and they did it through my right arm. It's still hurting, and I can't stretch it properly. I've taken painkillers, but the pain just wont go away. What can I do about this?
Its common to experience pain and discomfort in the arm after an angioplasty, especially if the procedure was done through the arm. I recommend following up with your doctor to ensure there are no complications. In the meantime, gentle stretching and using a warm compress might help ease the pain.

I'm a 25-year-old male and have been having chest pain for the last three months, along with a pulling sensation in my left hand. I got ECG and TMT tests done two months ago, and they came back fine. But I still get this sudden sensation in my chest sometimes. My doctor mentioned it could be anxiety, and I'm really anxious about my health now. I've started yoga and meditation for the past couple of weeks, but the symptoms are still there. My palms and feet are sweating too, and the pain and pulling aren't constant. My blood pressure is normal, I don't have high cholesterol, and there's no family history of heart issues. What can I do to overcome this? Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thats clearly anxiety disorder,visit Psychiatrist for a better treatment and counselling and also practice meditation and breathing excercises,take adequate rest and maintain healthy life style

I'm a bit concerned about my blood pressure reading, which is 140103. Is it normal, or should I be worried? Can it be improved with lifestyle changes? Would love some advice.
A blood pressure reading of 140103 is considered high and warrants attention; while lifestyle changes such as regular exercise, a balanced diet, stress reduction, and adequate sleep can help lower blood pressure
