I'm really worried about a heartbeat of 240 beats per minute. Is this life-threatening? Can it lead to heart failure? Is there a way to treat it, or what should I do next?

I'm a bit concerned about my husband's heart rate. His watch is recording a high pulse rate, sometimes hitting numbers as high as 160, 120, or 150, a few times a day. He doesn't have any symptoms, and his blood pressure is normal. We've done TMT, ECG, and echo tests, and they all came back normal. What could be causing these spikes?

It's good that all the cardiac tests have come back normal. A high pulse rate without any other symptoms can sometimes be due to factors such as stress, anxiety, dehydration, or even certain medications. However, since your husband is not experiencing any symptoms, it may be worth monitoring his pulse rate over a period of time to see if there are any patterns or triggers. In some cases, a high pulse rate can be a sign of an underlying condition such as an overactive thyroid gland or an arrhythmia. If the high pulse rate continues or if there are any other concerning symptoms, further evaluation by a healthcare provider may be necessary. In the meantime, it may be helpful to ensure that your husband stays hydrated, gets adequate rest, and manages stress levels.

I've been experiencing a constant pain in my chest and the surrounding area. It happens about twice a week or sometimes just once a month. What could be causing this, and should I be concerned about it?

The symptoms you are describing could be related to acid reflux or heartburn. I recommend trying over-the-counter antacids like Tums or Maalox for relief. You can take them as directed on the package insert. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.
