I've been feeling this weird fluttering sensation in the middle of my chest, and it's really bothering me. It seems to hit me especially hard after I eat or when I've been doing some work, and it makes it tough to breathe. I also get this faint feeling that I can't shake off. I'm not coughing exactly, though there are times when I feel like I might start. On top of that, my back has been aching, and it's hard to stand upright. What could be causing all of this?

View allIm feeling my heartbeat everywhere in my body, like in my arms, legs, chest, stomach, and even my head. I'm starting to wonder if that's normal or if there might be something wrong. Any advice on what this could mean?
Feeling your heartbeat throughout your body is not always a cause for concern, but it can sometimes indicate an underlying issue, especially if accompanied by other symptoms. Start by observing your symptoms, managing stress, and reducing stimulants. If the sensation persists or worsens, consult a doctor for further evaluation and tests.

I'm really concerned about how blood pressure might affect heart health, especially since I'm diabetic. Can you explain whether high blood pressure or low blood pressure is more likely to lead to heart failure for someone in my situation?
High blood pressure (hypertension) is a common cause of heart failure in diabetic patients. Uncontrolled high blood pressure can lead to the heart working harder to pump blood, which can eventually weaken the heart muscle and result in heart failure. It is important for diabetic patients to manage their blood pressure effectively to reduce the risk of heart failure. For high blood pressure in diabetic patients, medications such as Lisinopril (brand name: Zestril) or Amlodipine (brand name: Norvasc) may be prescribed. The dosage will depend on individual factors and should be determined by a healthcare provider. On the other hand, low blood pressure (hypotension) is generally not a direct cause of heart failure in diabetic patients. However, extremely low blood pressure can lead to inadequate blood flow to the organs, including the heart, which can be harmful. It is important for diabetic patients to regularly monitor their blood pressure, follow a healthy lifestyle, and take medications as prescribed to manage both high blood pressure and diabetes effectively.

I'm really concerned because I had COVID about three months ago, and although Im better now, my chest still feels pretty heavy sometimes. At the beginning, my left hand felt numb, and I had palpitations, so I took Corbis 2.5 for about 10 days. The palpitations seem to be okay now, but the heaviness in my chest is still there, especially if I try to work out or lift heavy things. The intensity has decreased a bit, but it's still noticeable. I've had a bunch of tests like ECG, ECHO, D-dimer, CKMB, TNI, BNP, MYO, a chest X-ray, and PFT, all of which came back normal. Lately, Ive noticed that if I press on my chest, I hear a crackling sound like when you crack your knuckles. What could be causing this and what should I do about it?
That could be due to costochondritis,no need to worry take adequate rest and do breating excercises and also do use flexon tablet when you have severe pain
