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 allI'm really worried about my husband. He's been waking up in the middle of the night sweating and struggling to breathe, and this has happened twice in just three days. We checked his blood pressure both times he woke up, and it was 148110 with a pulse of 75 the first time, and 140100 with a pulse of 85 the second time. He usually takes TeldayH every day for his high blood pressure, which generally keeps it under control. His blood sugar levels were also normal when we checked them yesterday, and his ECG was fine in January. He did have a gout attack around the same time, and his uric acid levels were 8.7 then, and he's also dealing with high cholesterol. Right now, he's on Febuxostat and Jupiros. I'm just trying to figure out why he's having these night sweats and breathing problems. Could it be related to his medication or something else?
Ecg and cardiac markers are advised to the patient. Rest contine all the medications.Also tablet levocetrizine 10 mg at bedtime,orally for 5 days is advised . Steam inhalation and saline gargles is also advised to the patient.

I'm feeling a tightness in my chest and it's like there's a squeezing sensation around my heart. My heart rate seems to be going really fast. I'm obese, about 5'4" and weigh 85 kg. My job is pretty sedentary because I'm at a desk all day, and I've had diabetes for about six months. Should I be worried about these symptoms?
"Chest tightness and squeezing sensation in the heart, along with a fast heartbeat, can be concerning symptoms, especially with a history of diabetes and obesity. These symptoms could indicate a heart problem and should be evaluated promptly. In this case, the individual may be experiencing a heart attack or angina. It is important to seek immediate medical attention. The individual may be prescribed medications such as aspirin, nitroglycerin, and beta-blockers like Metoprolol to help manage the symptoms and prevent further complications. The dosage and frequency of these medications will depend on the severity of the condition and should be determined by a healthcare professional."
