I've been having a hard time breathing when I'm lying down on either side. Could this be related to my lungs or heart? I'm feeling a bit worried. Can you give me some insight into what might be going on?

View allI'm noticing my heart rate hits around 100 to 120 during the day but drops to 80 to 90 while I'm asleep. I had an ECG done, and it showed sinus tachycardia, but the echo and thyroid results came back normal. What should I do next?
Given your heart rate of 100-120 during the day and 80-90 at night, along with an ECG showing sinus tachycardia and normal echo and thyroid reports, its important to explore other potential causes. The next steps could include: 1. Holter Monitor: Wearing a Holter monitor for 24-48 hours can provide detailed information on your heart rate and rhythm throughout the day and night. 2. Electrolyte Levels: Blood tests to check for electrolyte imbalances that may affect heart rate. 3. Lifestyle Factors: Evaluate and address lifestyle factors such as caffeine intake, stress, anxiety, and physical activity levels, which can all influence heart rate. 4. Autonomic Function Tests: Assess autonomic nervous system function to rule out conditions like POTS (postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome). Consult with your healthcare provider to discuss these options and determine the appropriate next steps for further evaluation and management.

I'm feeling a bit worried because I've had this pain in the middle of my chest, and when I got an ECG, it showed an abnormal Q wave in lead 3. It's the same result as a year ago when I had an ECG and then went through a TMT and an echo which both came back normal. Should I be getting another echo and TMT done now, or is it okay to hold off? Any guidance would be really helpful.
Based on your history of chest pain and abnormal q wave in lead 3 on ECG, it is important to continue monitoring your heart health. Since your previous TMT and echo were normal, it is reassuring. However, given the persistent abnormal q wave on ECG, it would be advisable to repeat the TMT and echo to ensure there have been no changes in your heart function. I recommend you to consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and to discuss the need for repeating the tests.

I've been feeling my pulse really strongly all over, like in my head and fingers, for about a year now. I went to see a doctor and he did an ECG, but it came back normal. He said it's not a disease and might just be stress. I'm really curious if there's anything I can do to make this go away. Any suggestions would be helpful.
Having a strong pulse that can be felt in various parts of the body can indeed be related to stress. To help reverse this, you can try relaxation techniques such as deep breathing exercises, yoga, or meditation to help reduce stress levels. Additionally, you can consider taking a beta-blocker medication such as Metoprolol (25-50mg once daily) to help lower your heart rate and reduce the sensation of a strong pulse. It's important to continue following up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.
