I've been feeling really anxious about my heart lately because I keep having these palpitations and negative thoughts that something might be wrong. I'm 23 and my GP said my echo, ECG, and blood tests came back normal, so they think it's just anxiety and overthinking. But I'm still really worried. Is it possible there could still be an underlying heart issue, or should I trust the tests?

Yes, for a 23-year-old male, a normal echo, ECG, and blood test are usually sufficient to rule out major heart problems. Since your GP has already reassured you that your palpitations are likely due to anxiety and overthinking, you can trust their assessment. To help with your anxiety symptoms, you can take Xanax (Alprazolam) 0.25mg as needed. It is important to practice stress-reducing activities such as exercise, meditation, and deep breathing techniques.

View allI've been experiencing a rapid heartbeat lately, and I'm not sure if it's a side effect of the medication I'm on or if it's a heart issue. Could you give me some advice on this?
Rapid heart beat can be a concerning symptom. It is important to identify if it is a side effect of the tablets you are taking or a cardiac issue. To determine if it is a side effect of your medication, please provide me with the names of the tablets you are currently taking along with their dosages. If it is related to a cardiac problem, I recommend consulting with a cardiologist for further evaluation and management.

I'm curious about ciplar 10 mg. The doctor prescribed it to me, and I'm wondering what it's for exactly. I was thinking of only taking it before going to social events. Could you give me some advice on this?
Cipar 10mg contains propanolol, which is a beta-blocker, used in the treatment of systemic hypertension and other cardiac abnormalities such as arrhythmia. It would be advisable to consult the prescribing physician and inquire the what was the indication of its use.

I'm really worried because my whole body seems to vibrate with my heartbeat, and I can actually see it in my stomach and hands. I've done ECGs, two TMTs, and an echo, and they all came back normal. I also feel this pressure on the left side of my chest, plus irritation in my throat that's been going on for more than two weeks now. I'm not sure if I should go for another echo or not. I also have a vitamin D deficiency and am taking weekly sachets for it. Do you think it's necessary to take calcium tablets with it? Any advice would be really appreciated.
