I've been experiencing this heavy feeling in my chest, and sometimes there's a little pain too. It's been going on for about a month now, maybe 34 days. I haven't really had any medical issues before this, so I'm not sure what's going on. Could this be something serious? Should I get it checked out?

I've been noticing some skipped beats, like a big thump happening at least twice a day. I'm wondering what might be causing this. I don't usually take naps during the day. Could that be related somehow? It's a bit concerning.

Having skipped beats, also known as palpitations, can be caused by various factors. Since you are experiencing this sensation at least twice a day, it is important to investigate further. One common cause of palpitations is caffeine intake, so I would recommend reducing your consumption of caffeinated beverages such as coffee, tea, and energy drinks. Stress and anxiety can also trigger palpitations, so practicing relaxation techniques like deep breathing or meditation may be helpful. Additionally, certain medications or underlying heart conditions could be contributing to your symptoms. It would be advisable to consult a healthcare professional for a thorough evaluation and appropriate management.

I've noticed that my resting heart rate usually falls between 53 and 60, and my blood pressure seems fine. I don't experience shortness of breath, weakness, or any faintness. I don't get tired during physical activities, either. Over the past couple of years, I've had ECG, TMT, and Echo tests done; they didn't show anything concerning. The only thing that came up was a grade I diastolic dysfunction on the Echo test, but my doctor said that was normal. I play cricket almost every weekend without any issues. Is having a heart rate between 53-60 something I should worry about? Do you think I should get it checked out or need any treatment?

Your resting heart rate of 53 to 60 beats per minute is considered to be on the lower side but can be normal for some individuals, especially those who are physically active like yourself. Since you do not experience any symptoms like shortness of breath, weakness, fainting, or exhaustion during physical activity, and your ECG, TMT, and Echo tests have not shown any significant abnormalities, there may not be a cause for concern. However, if you are still worried about your low heart rate, you can consult with your doctor to rule out any underlying issues. In the meantime, continue to stay active and monitor your heart rate during physical activities. If further evaluation is needed, your doctor may recommend additional tests or monitoring.

I've had this chest pain for about three days now. I did an ECG and the doctor wrote 'TWNL' on it. Does that mean everything's normal? Also, I've attached my troponin T test report and need to know if it looks okay. Should I be worried about a heart problem? Can you take a look at my report, please?

The term "TWNL" in your ECG report stands for "T wave normal limit", indicating that the T wave on your ECG is within normal limits. Elevated levels of troponin T in the blood can indicate damage to the heart muscle, such as in the case of a heart attack. It is important to know the specific value of your troponin T levels to determine if they are within normal range. For chest pain lasting 3 days and concerning ECG findings, it is recommended to follow up with your healthcare provider for a thorough evaluation and appropriate management.
