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.

I'm really worried because I've been having chest pain for a few weeks now. Sometimes it spreads to my left arm and upper back, which is really scary. I've noticed that my heart's been beating really fast a couple of times this month, and when that happens, I start sweating and feel hot all over. I actually thought I might be having a heart attack. I went ahead and had an ECG done, and it says sinus tachycardia and nonspecific t abnormalities in the inferior leads. Should I be concerned about this? Also, I've taken medication for depression beforecould that be connected somehow?

I'm a 29-year-old software engineer, and I've been feeling a bit worried about my TMT test results. I'm 5.6 inches tall and weigh 76kg, and I live a normal lifestyle without any addictions. Despite other cardiac tests like X-ray, 2D Echo, and Lipid Profile coming back normal, my TMT tests have been consistently showing a "Mildly Positive" remark. This has happened three times over the past year. Should I be concerned about these TMT results, or is it something I can keep an eye on without stressing too much?

repeat ecg and tmt after 3 months is advised.
