I've been experiencing times when my breathing stops while I'm asleep, and my heart rate drops below 55, which sometimes makes me feel dizzy. I'm not very active, and my weight is normal. I'm wondering if these could be signs of a heart problem. Can you give me some advice on what might be happening?

Ive done all the heart tests like ECG and echocardiogram stress test, and everythings come back normal. But I still feel really anxious and notice my heart beating really fast. Should I be worried about this? Is there a chance it could be a sign of a heart attack or something serious?

It's good to hear that your heart tests have come back normal. Your symptoms of feeling anxious and experiencing a fast heart rate could be related to anxiety. To help manage your symptoms, you can try taking propranolol (Inderal) 10mg to 20mg as needed to help with the fast heart rate and anxiety. However, if you continue to have concerns or if your symptoms worsen, it's important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

Hey, I went to the hospital today because I've been having really bad chest pain from my GERD. They gave me a Pan injection, but the pain hasnt gone away. The doctor said I should get an ECG done and talk to a cardiologist. But I couldnt see one because of some financial issues, so I had to go home instead. Can someone please look at my ECG report and let me know if everything seems alright or if there's something wrong?

If you are experiencing severe chest pain due to GERD, you can try taking Omeprazole (20mg) once a day before breakfast for relief. Additionally, you can take Antacid syrup like Gelusil after meals for immediate relief from acidity. Make sure to follow up with a cardiologist as advised by your doctor for further evaluation of your chest pain.

I'm feeling a lot of heaviness in my chest and I'm having trouble breathing. It's like I can't take a full breath and whenever I try, it feels like it just stops and I can't hold it in for long. What could this be?
