I've been noticing this weird thing where I can feel my pulse in my fingertips if I press them firmly on something hard. It's not all the time, and it doesn't hurt, but when I grip something and accidentally focus on it, I feel my heartbeatit's like a straight-up pulse. I've talked to a cardiologist and two neurologists about this. One suggested a color Doppler test without fully hearing me out, and the other said not to worry. It's just confusing because, like with a pulse oximeter reading from the finger, I wonder if this is normal. I've done all the heart tests, and they came back clear, but once my blood pressure shot up to 160118 due to stress from an injury.

Left axis deviation can be seen in various conditions, such as left ventricular hypertrophy, left bundle branch block and even inferior wall myocardial infarction.

I've been feeling this slight pain on the right side of my chest, kind of close to the center, for about 45 days now. I also have some acidity issues. Should I be worried about this?
The pain in the center of your chest could be due to acid reflux causing heartburn. I recommend taking antacids like Tums (500mg) as needed for relief from acidity. Additionally, you can take Omeprazole (20mg) once daily before breakfast to reduce stomach acid production and alleviate symptoms. Make sure to avoid spicy and fatty foods, eat smaller meals, and avoid lying down immediately after eating to help manage your acidity problem. If the pain persists or worsens, it is important to seek further medical evaluation.
