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've recently quit smoking, but I'm still experiencing chest pain. I had a stress test done, and it came back normal. Could you suggest a doctor who might be able to help me with this?
Given your history of smoking and persistent chest pain despite a normal stress test, consult a pulmonologist or a cardiologist to rule out underlying conditions such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), pulmonary embolism, or cardiac issues like coronary artery disease or pericarditis; they will evaluate your symptoms, medical history, and test results to determine the cause of your chest pain and develop an appropriate treatment plan.

I'm a 39-year-old guy dealing with high blood pressure, and I've been on telmisartan 40 mg for like five years. Just recently, I found out I have Grade 1 Left Ventricular Hypertrophy. I don't have diabetes but my cholesterol is on the higher side, and I'm taking medication for anxiety too. I'm really stressed about this LVH diagnosis and can't help but wonder about my life expectancy with it. Is this something that's going to affect me in just the next couple of years? I'm from Australia and my appointment with the cardiologist is still two months away, so any insight before then would mean a lot to me.

I'm experiencing some chest and arm pain, and I've been having heart palpitations lately. It's kind of weird because I can feel my heart pounding even when I'm just resting. I'm not super active, and my BMI is around 27.5. My HDL is only 34 but my blood pressure seems normal. I got an ECG done, and it showed a heart rate of 109 bpm with sinus tachycardia, but there weren't any ST T changes. The PR interval came out at 197 ms with a high QR of 86 and QTQTc between 298 and 402. Do you think I should get more tests done? What could all this mean?
Chest pain, arm pain, heart palpitations, and a high heart rate at rest with sinus tachycardia on ECG can be concerning symptoms. With a low HDL level and a BMI of 27.5, there may be underlying cardiovascular issues that need to be addressed. The PR interval of 197ms is slightly prolonged, which could indicate an atrioventricular conduction delay. Further evaluation is warranted to assess the overall cardiac function and rule out any underlying heart conditions. I recommend consulting a cardiologist for a thorough evaluation, which may include an echocardiogram, stress test, and possibly a Holter monitor to assess heart rhythm over a longer period. Additionally, lifestyle modifications such as regular exercise, a heart-healthy diet, and possibly medication like Atorvastatin to improve HDL levels may be beneficial in managing your cardiovascular health.
