I'm sometimes feeling my heart beating in my neck and it makes me panic a bit. I've done some tests like a blood test, ECG, and 2D Echo. My cholesterol is borderline, but both the ECG and Echo came out normal. So, why do I feel my heartbeat in my neck sometimes? Should I get more tests to check if there's something abnormal going on?

Feeling your heart beat in your neck can be due to various reasons such as anxiety, stress, or even dehydration. Since your ECG and 2D Echo results are normal, it is less likely to be related to any structural heart abnormalities. However, if you continue to experience this sensation, you may consider doing a Holter monitor test to monitor your heart rhythm continuously for 24-48 hours. This can help in detecting any irregular heartbeats that may not be captured during a standard ECG. Additionally, a stress test can also be considered to evaluate your heart's response to physical activity.

View allI'm often noticing my blood pressure is around 13090, and I've also been feeling my heartbeat more in my head and have shaky hands. I'm trying to understand why this might be happening. Should I be worried about these symptoms? I did a treadmill test last August, and it was completely normal. What do you think could be going on?
Your blood pressure of 13090 is slightly elevated, which may be causing the symptoms you are experiencing. The sensation of feeling your heartbeat in your head and shaky hands could be due to increased blood pressure. I would recommend starting with lifestyle modifications such as regular exercise, a healthy diet low in sodium, and stress management techniques. In terms of medication, you can consider starting with a low-dose of a medication like Amlodipine 5mg once daily to help lower your blood pressure. However, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new medication.

I'm really worried because my friend's ECG came back as borderline abnormal. Can you explain what that means? Is it something we should be really concerned about? The ECG mentioned things like a negative T wave and I'm not sure what all the numbers mean... like HR is 93min and the axis is 62 degrees. I'm kind of puzzled by how serious this is. What should we do next?
negative t wave could be due to hypertension, ischsemic heart diseases and electrolye imbalance conditions .And echo is advised , post that a cardiologist opinion i indicated.Salt restricted diet , dash diet and regular aerobic exercises is advised
