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've been having a bit of a worry for a while now. I'm 21 and recently went through getting an ECG done a few times, around 5 to 6 times at different hospitals, but none of them could get a proper reading. It's strange because I've never had any heart issues before. The doctors keep mentioning that my pulse rate seems to always be on the higher side. I'm stressing out because this issue made me fail medical exams for some government jobs. What could be causing this? Any suggestions on what steps I should take next? It's really starting to get to me.
It sounds like you may be experiencing a condition called sinus tachycardia, which is when your heart rate is consistently elevated. To help manage this, you can try taking a beta-blocker medication such as Metoprolol (25-50mg) once daily. This medication can help lower your heart rate and improve your symptoms. However, it's important to consult with a doctor to confirm the diagnosis and determine the appropriate treatment plan for your specific situation.

I'm really concerned because I've been experiencing skipped heartbeats for about five months now. It often feels like there's a pause in my heartbeat, maybe for a second, but I'm not completely sure. I've never fainted or felt dizzy when this happens, but it does make me feel very anxious. I'm really worried about the possibility of a sudden cardiac arrest because of these skipped beats. Are these skipped heartbeats something I should be seriously worried about, even though my ECG, ECHO, and HOLTER tests all came back normal?
Skip heartbeats can be concerning, but they are not always dangerous, especially if your tests (ECG, ECHO, HOLTER) have come back normal. It is important to manage your anxiety as stress can worsen the symptoms. In some cases, lifestyle changes such as reducing caffeine intake, managing stress, and getting enough sleep can help. If the symptoms persist or worsen, medications like beta-blockers (e.g. Metoprolol) can be prescribed to help regulate your heartbeat. However, it is important to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.

I'm a bit concerned because my ECG results mention something called longitudinal left axis deviation. Is this a serious issue, and do you think I need any further tests or investigations?
Your ECG showing longitudinal left axis deviation may indicate certain heart conditions. Further investigations may be needed to determine the underlying cause and severity. You may need to consult a cardiologist for a thorough evaluation. In terms of medication, there is no specific drug treatment for longitudinal left axis deviation itself.
