Question 1

I've been experiencing a rapid heartbeat and palpitations with no specific timing. Sometimes it feels like my heart is sinking. I've had an ECG and TMT, and both came back normal. I also have hypothyroidism, and my doctor thinks it might be due to anxiety. I'm wondering if I should get any other tests to rule out heart disease. What do you think?

Accepted Answer

Based on your symptoms and the normal ECG and TMT results, it is likely that your palpitations and fast heart rate are indeed related to anxiety, especially given your history of hypothyroidism. However, if you still have concerns about ruling out any underlying heart disease, you may consider getting a Holter monitor test to monitor your heart rhythm continuously for a period of time. This can help detect any irregular heartbeats that may not show up on a standard ECG. Additionally, an echocardiogram may be considered to assess the structure and function of your heart. In the meantime, managing your anxiety through relaxation techniques, regular exercise, and stress-reducing activities can also help alleviate your symptoms.

Question 2

I'm feeling this weird vibration on the right side of my chest every time I think about my phone. It started yesterday morning and seems to happen like every 30 minutes or so. What's strange is that I don't notice it when I'm busy, like cooking, but if I'm just sitting or reading, it really stands out. Could this be something medical, and should I be concerned?

consult psychiatrist

Question 3

I'm 27 and dealing with a sugar problem, for which I'm taking Glimepiride and Metformin 11000sr tablets, two daily. Lately, I've noticed my blood pressure is 14090, and my pulse is around 92. I've also been experiencing some pain on the left side of my chest, so I decided to check my ECG. The results showed a sinus rhythm with a normal P axis and a ventricular rate between 50 and 99. There was also some ST elevation, which I've read could be a normal early repolarization pattern, but I'm still worried. The diagnostics mentioned "age 55" even though I'm only 27. Could this be a mistake, or is it something I need to be concerned about? I would appreciate any insight or advice you could give me.

Accepted Answer

I am sorry to hear about your health concerns. It seems like you are experiencing some cardiac symptoms along with your existing medical conditions. Based on the information you provided, you are currently taking Glimipride and Metformin for your sugar problem. Since you have mentioned that you are experiencing chest pain and have abnormal ECG findings, it is important to address your elevated blood pressure as well. I would recommend that you consult with your healthcare provider for a thorough evaluation and management. In the meantime, to help manage your blood pressure, you can consider taking Amlodipine 5mg once daily. This medication can help lower your blood pressure and reduce the strain on your heart. Additionally, it is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and make lifestyle modifications such as reducing salt intake, maintaining a healthy weight, and engaging in regular physical activity. Please continue to monitor your symptoms closely and follow up with your healthcare provider for further guidance and management.

I've been checking my blood pressure over the past few days and my average reading is around 14090. When I checked it a second time, it was showing 13089. Is this something I should be concerned about? Can you give me some advice?
