I'm having this weird tingling sensation and sometimes my heart starts racing. I got an ECG and my blood pressure was checked, and both came back normal. I'm not sure what to do next or who I should reach out to. Can you guide me on this?

View allI'm really worried about my dad. He has a stent in his heart, and when we checked his pulse on the oximeter, it showed 5659. He's also taking Concor 5. Could this be something serious?
A pulse rate of 56-59 beats per minute can be considered lower than normal (bradycardia), especially for someone with a history of heart issues like stenting. Concor 5 contains Bisoprolol, which is a beta-blocker used to treat high blood pressure and heart conditions. In this case, the low pulse rate could be a side effect of the medication. It is important to monitor his pulse rate regularly and consult with his healthcare provider. If he experiences symptoms like dizziness, fainting, chest pain, or shortness of breath, seek medical attention promptly. The dosage of Concor 5 should be reviewed by his doctor to ensure it is appropriate for him.

I'm being treated for bacterial overgrowth in my intestine, and so far, it's going well. But I'm a bit worried because sometimes I get this dull ache in my upper back, shoulder, and left arm. It's mostly on the left side, though it rarely happens on the right. I also feel pretty gassy. Could this discomfort be because of gas, or do you think I should be more concerned and maybe get an ECG done? I'm 37 and female, if that helps. What do you think?
It is possible that your upper back pain, shoulder pain, and arm pain on the left side could be related to gas or bloating from the bacterial overgrowth in your intestine. Gas can sometimes cause referred pain to other areas of the body, including the back and shoulders. However, given that you are also experiencing arm pain, it is important to consider other possible causes such as musculoskeletal issues or even cardiac concerns. Since you are also feeling gassy, it is reasonable to try over-the-counter gas relief medications such as Simethicone to see if it helps alleviate your symptoms. Additionally, you can consider taking a pain reliever like Acetaminophen for the discomfort. If your symptoms persist or worsen, especially if you experience any chest pain, shortness of breath, or dizziness, it would be prudent to seek medical attention. A doctor can evaluate your symptoms, perform a physical examination, and determine if further investigations such as an ECG are necessary to rule out any cardiac issues.

I've been having chest pain and got a 2D echo, ECG, blood work, and an X-ray done. The doctor said everything looks normal, but I noticed some black marks on the left side of the diaphragm in the X-ray. Could you tell me what these might be? I'm a bit concerned.
Diaphragmatic tumour,hernia,birth trauma ,surgical trauma ,thyroid disease and auto-immune disease are some of the causes..A dermatologist opinion is advised.
