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.

View allIs it a big issue if I have cardiac conduction defects like PVC and PVAs? My May 2d echo came back normal, but the ECG still shows PVCs. Should I be worried about this?
Having cardiac conduction defects such as PVCs (Premature Ventricular Contractions) and PVAs (Premature Atrial Contractions) can sometimes indicate an underlying heart issue. While PVCs and PVAs are common and can be benign in many cases, they can also be associated with certain heart conditions. Since your 2D echo is normal, it is a good sign that the structure of your heart is normal. However, the presence of PVCs on ECG warrants further evaluation to determine the underlying cause and assess the overall heart function. In terms of medication, if your PVCs are symptomatic or concerning, your doctor may prescribe antiarrhythmic medications such as Flecainide or Propafenone to help regulate your heart rhythm. The dosage and duration of treatment will depend on your individual case and should be determined by your healthcare provider. Regular follow-up with a cardiologist is important to monitor your heart health and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan.

I can feel my heartbeat when I'm lying down, even though my ECG came back normal. The doctor said it's anxiety, and I've been on Ciplar LA 20 for 45 days now. How long does it usually take for this medication to help with the problem? My heart rate is around 70 now.
Feeling your own heartbeat when lying down can be a common symptom of anxiety. Ciplar LA 20 is a brand name for propranolol, which is a beta-blocker used to treat anxiety and heart conditions. It is important to continue taking your medication as prescribed by your doctor. In some cases, it may take a few weeks to a few months to see the full effects of the medication. Since you have been taking Ciplar LA 20 for 45 days and your heart rate is now 70 beats per minute, it seems like the medication is helping to control your symptoms. It is important to follow up with your doctor regularly to monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments to your treatment plan.

I'm really worried about my heart, and it's been like this for almost a year now. I've had palpitations around 45 times, and I've done a couple of ECGs, echoes, chest X-rays, and a TMT about 8 months ago, but everything came back normal. I don't have diabetes or thyroid issues, and I don't smoke or drink. There's no family history of heart problems either, but my BP is 140, and my LDL and total cholesterol are high at 140 and 192, respectively. The doctors say I shouldn't worry and just manage my BP and LDL, but I still can't shake off this fear of a heart attack. I often feel like I'm sinking or floating, and I get wobbly and fatigued when walking, sometimes even when I'm just resting. These feelings mostly hit me in the evenings, all the way until I go to sleep. I find myself worrying all the time, and there's just no joy or excitement in my day-to-day lifeit affects my ability to do daily activities. Can you help me figure out what's going on? Do you think I need any more tests, or is there something else I should be doing? What's causing all these issues?
It sounds like you are experiencing anxiety and panic attacks rather than a heart problem, especially since your heart tests have come back normal. Your symptoms of feeling like sinking and floating, wobbling, fatigue, and worry are common in anxiety disorders. It's good that you are focusing on controlling your blood pressure and LDL levels. To address your anxiety symptoms, you can try relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing exercises, meditation, or yoga. Regular physical activity can also help reduce anxiety. In some cases, therapy or counseling may be beneficial. For your elevated blood pressure and LDL levels, your doctors may prescribe medications to help manage them. For high blood pressure, medications like Amlodipine or Losartan can be prescribed. For high LDL levels, medications like Atorvastatin can be used to lower cholesterol levels. It's important to continue following up with your doctors for regular check-ups and to discuss any new or worsening symptoms. If you continue to experience anxiety symptoms, you may benefit from a consultation with a mental health professional for further evaluation and management.
