I've been noticing this weird thing happening with my heartbeat over the last couple of days. It feels like my heart is beating really strongly, and I can actually see it beating when I look at my chest. Sometimes it even makes the dirt move around me. It doesn't happen all the time, just randomly throughout the day. Could you help me understand why this might be happening and what I should do about it?

This irregular heartbeat may be due to a condition called palpitations. I recommend you to consult a doctor for proper evaluation and diagnosis. In the meantime, you can take a beta-blocker medication like Metoprolol (25-50mg) to help control your heart rate and rhythm. Additionally, try to reduce stress and avoid stimulants like caffeine and nicotine. If the symptoms persist or worsen, seek medical attention promptly.

View allIs atrial flutter something that can actually be cured? Is catheter ablation the best solution for someone like me? I'm worried because I had mitral valve replacement surgery about six months ago and was doing fine until I got this bad cough. Suddenly, my heart rate shot up to 150 and it just won't come down. Now I've got a clot and I'm on blood thinners. Is there any hope for me or is this really serious?
Atrial flutter can be managed effectively with treatments such as catheter ablation. Catheter ablation is considered one of the best solutions for atrial flutter, especially when medications are not effective or not well tolerated. Atrial flutter may not go away on its own and often requires intervention. Given your history of MVR and the development of a high heart rate along with a clot, it is important to continue with the thinners as prescribed to prevent further complications. It is crucial to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management. There is hope for you, and the outcome will depend on various factors including the underlying cause of the atrial flutter, your overall health, and how well you respond to treatment. It is important to stay proactive in managing your condition and follow your healthcare provider's recommendations closely.

I'm hoping to put on some weight by doing heavy weight lifting exercises, but I've been worried about my echo report from last October. It was just a routine checkup, and I'm completely fit, feeling fine, and have no issues. I do brisk walking for 45 minutes daily without any problems. I'm trying to figure out if it's just a mitral valve prolapse or if mitral valve prolapse with regurgitation is a concern. Could you advise me on how much weight I can safely lift given this condition? I've attached my report below.
Moderate weight lifting is advised.
