I've been noticing this fluttering feeling under my left breast and I'm not sure if it's my heart or something with my stomach. On top of that, I keep feeling hot and cold at the same time, and my feet are freezing, even with socks on. I struggle with bad anxiety and panic attacks, plus I'm bipolar, and I've been a hypochondriac since I was little. I'm constantly worried about having a heart attack. What could be going on?

My ECG results came back, and I'm a little confused and concerned. It mentions 800 normal sinus rhythm, but also shows 861 Premature Ventricular Complexes and 302 TV1TV5. It finally says something about an abnormal ECG. Can you help me understand what these numbers mean and if there's something I should be worried about?

I woke up this morning and suddenly started sweating and felt really dizzy, but it only lasted for about 5 minutes. Could you help me understand what might have caused this?

Sudden sweating and dizziness upon waking, lasting only 5 minutes, could be due to various factors, including a temporary drop in blood pressure, low blood sugar, anxiety or panic attack, dehydration, or even a minor vasovagal episode, but if such episodes recur or worsen, consult a doctor to rule out underlying conditions.

I've been keeping an eye on my blood pressure and it was pretty high last year, like 140 over 90, which led to an echo test. They found lvh at 13mm, and lately, my blood pressure has been settling around 128130 over 85. I'm not on any medication right now. Should I be considering starting on blood pressure meds given these details?

Based on your current blood pressure readings and the presence of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) on your echo report, it is advisable to start blood pressure medication to help maintain your blood pressure within a healthy range and reduce the strain on your heart. I recommend starting with a medication like Losartan (50mg once daily) to help lower your blood pressure and protect your heart from further damage. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and follow up with your healthcare provider for further guidance.
