I've been dealing with a super fast heartbeat whenever I lie down in bed for the last 56 days. It's weird because I don't feel any pain or like my chest is congested, but I do feel a lot of anxiety. I'm 24, my height is 5'9", and I weigh about 80kgs. Whenever I'm walking or sitting, my heartbeat seems normal; it's just when I'm laying down that it speeds up. Do you have any idea what could be going on? Is it something serious?

It sounds like you may be experiencing a condition called orthostatic intolerance, where your heart rate increases when you change positions, such as lying down. This can be due to various reasons such as dehydration, anemia, or autonomic nervous system dysfunction. However, it's important to rule out any underlying heart conditions. I recommend you consult a doctor for a thorough evaluation. In the meantime, you can try increasing your fluid intake and consuming electrolytes. If symptoms persist or worsen, please seek medical advice promptly.

View allI'm a bit concerned about my recent heart test results. I'm 53, usually pretty active, and not a blood pressure patient. My 2D echo came back with some terms that are worrying me a little, like concentric LVH and something about my aortic valve being sclerotic. The report mentioned a murmur sound, mild PAH, and a note about grade 1 LVDD. My LVEF is at 60%. Can you help me understand what all this means, especially the LVH and the sclerotic aortic valve? Should I be worried about these findings, even though the report says no RWMA, no effusion, and no clots?
Based on the report, the patient has Concentric LVH with Grade 1 LVDD, sclerotic aortic valve with trivial AR, mild PAH, and no significant abnormalities in the heart chambers. The ejection fraction is within the normal range at 60%. The patient's active lifestyle is a positive sign, but regular follow-up with a cardiologist is recommended to monitor the condition and manage any potential progression of the identified issues.

I'm curious about my heart rate, which seems to be consistently between 90 and 110 beats per minute. Is this natural, or should I be concerned about any possible heart issues? I don't have any known heart problems, but I'm wondering if it's something I should get checked out just to be safe. What do you think?
A heart rate of 90 to 110 beats per minute can be considered normal for adults at rest. However, it is always important to monitor your heart rate and consult with your healthcare provider for personalized advice. If you are looking to lower your heart rate for preventive measures, you can try medications like Metoprolol (brand name: Lopressor) at a dosage of 25-100mg per day as prescribed by your doctor.

I've been experiencing this weakness in my chest and it's making me really anxious. I'm trying to figure out what's going on because sometimes I also get this heaviness when I breathe and feel dizzy. It even makes me feel shaky at times. What could be causing these symptoms?
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms related to anxiety, which can cause chest tightness, dizziness, and shaky feelings. However, these symptoms can also be linked to other conditions such as heart issues or respiratory problems. I recommend consulting with a healthcare provider to get a proper evaluation and ensure it's not something more serious.
