I've been having some issues with fast pulse and feeling short of breath. It's weird because I don't really feel any heart pain, but I do start sweating. It seems like drinking water helps a bit, but whenever I'm fasting, these symptoms seem to get worse. I'm a bit worried and trying to figure out what could be going on. Any advice?

I've noticed my heart rate is jumping between 54 and 131. I'm a healthy 19-year-old, so is this normal? Should I be worried about these fluctuations?

Your fluctuating heart rate may be due to various factors. It's important to monitor your heart rate and consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation. In the meantime, you can try taking propranolol 10mg twice daily to help regulate your heart rate. Make sure to follow up with your doctor for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

I'm really worried about my dad who's 59 and just got told he has a 'Non specific T abnormality' and 'Flat T wave' in his ECG. He's had a 2D echo too, showing a 60 LVEF and no RWMA at rest. Is this something we should be concerned about?

I've been experiencing a rapid heartbeat and palpitations with no specific timing. Sometimes it feels like my heart is sinking. I've had an ECG and TMT, and both came back normal. I also have hypothyroidism, and my doctor thinks it might be due to anxiety. I'm wondering if I should get any other tests to rule out heart disease. What do you think?

Based on your symptoms and the normal ECG and TMT results, it is likely that your palpitations and fast heart rate are indeed related to anxiety, especially given your history of hypothyroidism. However, if you still have concerns about ruling out any underlying heart disease, you may consider getting a Holter monitor test to monitor your heart rhythm continuously for a period of time. This can help detect any irregular heartbeats that may not show up on a standard ECG. Additionally, an echocardiogram may be considered to assess the structure and function of your heart. In the meantime, managing your anxiety through relaxation techniques, regular exercise, and stress-reducing activities can also help alleviate your symptoms.
