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.

I'm a bit concerned about a recent cardiologist appointment where I was suspected of having an ASD. I'm already taking some home remedies like apple cider vinegar and cinnamon. I've heard about another Ayurvedic medicine called Terminalia Arjuna that's quite common in the market. I'm curious if it's safe to take that while I'm still consulting with an allopathic cardiologist. Would it be okay to try?

Terminalia Arjuna is an Ayurvedic medicine commonly used for heart health. While it may have some benefits, it is important to consult with your cardialogist before adding any new medication to your regimen. They will be able to advise you on the safety and potential interactions of Terminalia Arjuna with your current allopathic treatment.

I'm experiencing some issues that are really concerning me. I have chest pain, shortness of breath, palpitations, and sometimes I feel really drowsy. I've tried sticking out my tongue, but I've had X-rays, echocardiograms, and TMT tests, and they all came back normal. The weirdest part is that these symptoms usually hit me at midnight when I'm sleeping. I'm worried because it keeps happening. Could you help me understand what might be going on?

it might be because of anxiety , reduce stress levels
