I've been noticing something odd when I sleep. If I rest my head on my hand, when I wake up, that part of my head feels numb, almost like there's been blood circulation loss. It usually happens near my ear or sometimes at the back. Once I wake up and move my hand away, I can feel the blood coming back, and after massaging it for a bit, it feels normal again. Is this something to worry about, or is it common? I'm a bit anxious about it.

I've been feeling light-headed every now and then for the past few months. I'm 38, weigh 95 kg, and am 5'7". I don't smoke or drink, and I've been avoiding sugar and cholesterol. My thyroid level is 5.8. I recently started jogging two months ago, and my ECG says I have sinus bradycardia. Should I be worried about this? Is it related to my new exercise routine or something else?

"Based on your information, sinus bradycardia is a condition where the heart beats slower than normal. In your case, since you are experiencing light-headedness, it may be related to your sinus bradycardia. I recommend you to take Tab. Propranolol 10mg once daily to help regulate your heart rate and alleviate the symptoms. However, it is important to consult with a doctor for proper evaluation and monitoring of your condition."

My fiance is just 22 and she's started having symptoms of bradycardia for about a month now. Her heart rate is averaging between 40 and 47 bpm, which seems super low, and she's getting tired really fast. She even has syncope sometimes. Her heart's actually healthy otherwise, but the doctor thinks it might be something with her body's natural pacemaker. They've recommended a pacemaker, but we're really hoping for a cure instead. Is there anything else we can explore?

Symptomatic Bradycardia with a heart rate of 40-47 bpm and exhaustion can be concerning. In cases where a pacemaker is not desired, medication therapy can be considered. One common medication used to increase heart rate in cases of symptomatic Bradycardia is Atropine. The usual dosage for Atropine in adults is 0.5 to 1 mg IV every 3 to 5 minutes as needed, with a maximum dose of 3 mg. However, the use of Atropine should be carefully monitored by a healthcare professional. It is important to follow up with your doctor for proper evaluation and management of the condition.

I'm a bit worried because for the past month I've been having this weird chest pain, mostly on the left side. It's also affecting my left hand, shoulder, and neck. I've already done a TMT, echo, and ECG but the reports all came back normal. I'm really confused about what's going on. Could you help me figure out what this might be?

When there is no cardiac issue that could be pleuritis or costochondritis no need to worry take rest and foolow your doctors advice.
