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 feeling pretty worried because I've been dealing with dizziness and lightheadedness for about three weeks now, and on top of that, I've had chest and shoulder pain for the past 45 days. Could these symptoms be related? I'm really anxious about whether this might be a heart issue. What do you think?

The symptoms you are experiencing, such as dizziness, lightheadedness, chest pain, and shoulder pain, could be related to a heart problem. It is important to seek medical attention promptly. You may need to take medications like Aspirin 75mg for chest pain and Clopidogrel 75mg for heart protection. Additionally, you may require further evaluation and tests such as an ECG, echocardiogram, or cardiac enzymes to determine the cause of your symptoms and the appropriate treatment.

Is it a big deal that my TMT showed significant ST depression of 0.1mm in leads V4-V6 at peak exercise but didn't persist in recovery? The test said mildly positive for RMI, and I reached my target heart rate. I did Bruce stage 3 for about 8.09 minutes. My blood pressure is normal resting at 12080 and after exercise, it was 14080. I'm not diabetic. My METs were 10.2. Should I be worried about this? Could it be treated at this stage? Do I need to go for an angiography, and if I do, how soon should it be done?
