I've been feeling a really strong pulse in my head for the past couple of days, and yesterday I noticed it in my rib area too. It feels like there's an extra heartbeat or something. I've tried to ignore it, but it's so uncomfortable and it's been messing up my sleep. I even woke up with a really fast heart rate today, and it's making me quite anxious. It's like I can't escape this feeling, whether I'm awake or trying to sleep. What should I do to make this go away? Any advice would really help.

Based on your symptoms, it sounds like you may be experiencing palpitations. Palpitations can be caused by various factors such as stress, caffeine intake, dehydration, or underlying medical conditions. To help alleviate your symptoms, you can try taking a beta-blocker medication such as Metoprolol at a dose of 25-50mg once daily. Additionally, it is important to stay hydrated, avoid caffeine and alcohol, and practice relaxation techniques to reduce stress. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it is recommended to seek further evaluation from a healthcare professional.

View allI've been tracking my pulse rate and it usually falls between 44 to 60 beats per minute. Sometimes I experience a bit of chest pain but my doctor mentioned it's just gas. My blood pressure ranges between 120 to 140 over 80 to 90. Should I be worried about these pulse rates or the chest pain?
Your pulse rate of 44 to 60 beats per minute is considered bradycardia, which is a heart rate that is slower than normal. Since you are also experiencing chest pain, it is important to rule out any underlying heart conditions. I recommend you to take Aspirin 81mg once a day to prevent any clot formation in the heart. Also, you can take Metoprolol 25mg once a day to help regulate your heart rate. Make sure to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.

I've been having chest pain for 13 days now, and I'm really starting to get worried. My sugar levels are normal when fasting, and all my reports like ECG, lipid profile, and an echo have come back normal too. But the pain just won't go away. Should I be concerned, or is there something else I should be checking for?
