View allI'm experiencing these odd palpitations when I'm trying to sleep, but as soon as I wake up and move around a bit, they stop. I've had GERD since last September, and my recent endoscopy showed a grade 2. I've been keeping up with my health; did a TMT and checked my lipid profiles, and everything was normal. No blood pressure issues either, and I quit smoking 4 or 5 years ago, though I still have a drink now and then. My echo showed a grade 2, which makes me wonder if there's something going on with my heart or if it's all related to my esophagus issues. Also, I just started meds for fatty liverUdiliv 300, Darolac, Rifaximin 400mg, and Moza Plusand my SGPT was at 109. With a weight of 100 kg and being 5'10", I'm a bit worried. Is the grade 2 thing a sign of heart trouble, or could it be from the GERD? And is it possible for the grade 2 to be reversible?
1. AM I having any heart issues? Since grade 2 came in echo and sleeping palpitations are there. OR are these due to loose lower esophagus valve? Based on your symptoms and medical history, the palpitations you are experiencing while sleeping could be related to your grade 2 echo findings. It is important to further investigate the cause of these palpitations to rule out any underlying heart issues. I recommend you consult with a cardiologist for a thorough evaluation. In the meantime, you can take Metoprolol 25mg once daily to help with the palpitations. 2. Is grade 2 reversible? Grade 2 findings in an echocardiogram indicate mild abnormalities in the heart structure or function. In many cases, grade 2 abnormalities can be managed effectively with lifestyle changes and medications. It is important to follow up with your cardiologist regularly to monitor the condition and make necessary adjustments to your treatment plan. With proper management, some grade 2 abnormalities can show improvement over time.

I'm 26 and I've been experiencing a weird situation recently. Whenever I try to take a nap during the day, I notice that my heart starts racing, but it usually settles down after a bit. However, after waking up, the palpitations come back for a while, which is really unsettling. This only seems to happen in the daytime, not at night. I recently finished treatment for a panic attack, including psychiatric counseling. Since I'm still having these palpitations, I'm unsure what to do next. Could you help me figure out what's going on?
Based on your symptoms and history of panic attacks, it is possible that you are experiencing residual anxiety leading to palpitations. I recommend trying a beta-blocker medication such as Propranolol. You can take Propranolol 10mg to 20mg once daily as needed to help reduce the palpitations and anxiety symptoms. However, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new medication.

Hey, I had a heart attack three months ago and I initially thought it was just a gastric issue, so I didn't go to the hospital right away. I was working normally until I went in for a routine check-up a few days later and they told me I had a heart attack. They did an angioplasty and put a stent in my LAD, and everything seemed to go well. Now, I'm doing a morning walk every day, around 6 km in an hour. I'm a 47-year-old guy and I'm just wondering, when would be a good time for me to go for a stress echo?
Given that you had a heart attack three months ago and have since undergone successful angioplasty with stent placement, its important to follow your cardiologist's advice for follow-up care. Typically, a stress echo is recommended several months after the procedure to evaluate how well your heart is functioning under stress and to ensure that the stent is working effectively. You should consult with your cardiologist to determine the best timing for this test based on your individual recovery and health status. Its great that you are walking daily; continue following your doctor's guidance on physical activity and medication.
