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,

I'm on Crestor 40mg and Ezetrol 10mg for my cholesterol, and here's what my latest results show: Total Cholesterol is 4.25, LDL is 2.5, HDL is 0.93, and Triglyceride is 1.82, all in mmol unit. Lately, I've been feeling really fatigued and I suspect it might be muscle pain or tiredness from the statins. I've lost some focus too. I'm thinking of reducing my statin dosage. Could you give me some advice on what to do about this?
Based on your symptoms of fatigue, muscle pain, tiredness, and difficulty focusing, it is important to discuss with your healthcare provider about potentially reducing your statin medication. It is possible that these symptoms could be related to the statins you are taking. One option to consider is switching to a different statin medication such as Atorvastatin 20mg once daily. Atorvastatin is another type of statin that may have a different side effect profile for you. However, it is crucial to consult with your doctor before making any changes to your medication regimen.

I'm really worried because I've been experiencing tightness in the middle of my chest and breathlessness for quite a long time, almost 8 to 9 months now. I got a chest X-ray and my lungs were clear, but I'm still having these issues. On top of that, my hands tend to get really cold. Could there be something else going on that I should be concerned about?
start steam inhalation and if it still not resolved consult a pulmonologist
