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 allI'm 29 and since 2018, I've been experiencing skipped or missed heartbeats, which make me feel really uneasy. In 2019, I had an ECG, an echo, and a TMT done, and they didn't find anything. Recently, I've had two more ECGs and still nothing showed up. The doctor prescribed ivabradine and some anxiety medicine. I also discovered I have hyperthyroidism. I got some relief, but the symptoms have started again, and I'm really scared and worried that something serious is going on. Can you help me figure out what's happening and where I should go to find out the exact cause?
It's understandable to feel anxious and concerned about your symptoms. Skipped or missed heartbeats, known as palpitations, can be distressing but are often benign, especially with normal ECG, echo, and TMT results. Hyperthyroidism can contribute to palpitations and should be managed effectively. Since you have already been prescribed ivabradine and an anxiety medication, it's important to continue following your doctor's advice and taking your medications as directed. Given your ongoing symptoms and anxiety, it might be beneficial to seek a comprehensive evaluation at a specialized center, such as a tertiary care hospital with a cardiology and endocrinology department. They can conduct further tests, such as a Holter monitor to track your heart rhythms over 24-48 hours, and refine your treatment plan. Additionally, managing anxiety through therapy, relaxation techniques, and lifestyle changes can also help alleviate your symptoms. Please consult with your healthcare provider to discuss your concerns and consider a referral to a specialist if needed.

I'm really worried about this constant headache I have, mostly because my blood pressure and sugar are both on the high side. I've done a CT scan and an MRI, but both came back normal. Even my neurologist confirmed everything looks fine. Despite all that, I'm still feeling this awful sense of suffocation. There's no history of any heart problems in my family or anything like that. Do you think I should see a cardiologist about the suffocation issue?
In this case, since suffocation is still an issue, it would be advisable to consult with a cardiologist to rule out any cardiac-related causes. The cardiologist may recommend medications such as Amlodipine (5mg) for high blood pressure and Metformin (500mg) for diabetes to help manage your conditions and alleviate symptoms. It's important to follow up with the cardiologist for further evaluation and management of your symptoms.

Why do cardiac arrests happen in the bathroom?
Water temperature,most often incidences of stroke or heart attack in the bathroom happen more in winter than in summer. Chilled water can cause the arteries to shrink and prevent blood flow to vital organs like the heart and brain.
