Question 2

I'm experiencing heart palpitations, a fluttering feeling in my chest, and shortness of breath. I've already had an ECG, TMT, and echo scan, and all of the results came back normal. Why might this be happening?

Accepted Answer

Heart palpitations, fluttering, and shortness of breath can be caused by various factors, even if your ECG, TMT, and echo scan results are normal. One possible cause could be anxiety or stress. However, other causes such as thyroid disorders, electrolyte imbalances, or certain medications can also lead to these symptoms. In your case, since your reports are normal, I recommend trying a beta-blocker medication like Metoprolol (25-50mg) to help with the palpitations and fluttering. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques and stress management may also be beneficial in reducing these symptoms.
