Ive noticed that my heart rate is really highlike around 96 to 108 when Im just sitting, and it shoots up to 110 to 120 once I start walking. I did have COVID about 10 months ago and got my ECG and echo tests done three months back, which came out normal. I also checked my cholesterol and thyroid levels, and they were fine. Should I be concerned about my heart rate, or is this something that will go back to normal over time?

Since your ECG and echo were normal 3 months back, it is less likely to be a serious issue. However, it is important to monitor your heart rate regularly and follow up with your healthcare provider. In the meantime, you can try taking a beta-blocker medication like Metoprolol at a low dose of 25mg once daily to help control your heart rate. Make sure to consult with your doctor before starting any new medication.

View allI've been having this pinching pain in the middle of my chest, a bit towards the left, for about a year now. It doesn't happen all the time, but when it does, it's noticeable, especially if I stretch my chest or if I'm pressing something between my hands that puts pressure on my chest. I've had a bunch of ECGs done, but no other heart tests, and I've seen 23 doctors already. None of them think it's heart-related or gave me any meds. What should I do next? Who should I go to for help in Pune?

I've been noticing my heart feels like it's pounding pretty hard, especially after eating. Before meals, my blood pressure seems normal, but once I've had something to eat, it shoots up to around 130. Could this be linked to any vitamin deficiencies I'm not aware of?
The symptoms you are experiencing may be related to a condition called postprandial hypotension, which is a sudden drop in blood pressure after eating. To help manage this, you can try increasing your fluid and salt intake, eating smaller meals more frequently, and avoiding high-carb or high-sugar foods. Additionally, you may benefit from taking medications like Midodrine to help stabilize your blood pressure. However, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

I'm really worried because I've been having this chest pain for the last 40 days. It used to be constant, but now it just comes and goes. I feel this heaviness in my left chest, and then it moves to the right. Sometimes there's this sharp pinch that lasts like two seconds, and I'm also burping a lot when I sit down. I've already done an ECG, which I've attached. Can you give me any advice or suggest any medication?
Based on your symptoms and ECG findings, it is important to rule out any cardiac issues. However, considering the description of your pain and symptoms, it could also be related to acid reflux or gastritis. I recommend starting with an antacid medication like **Omeprazole** 20mg once daily before breakfast for at least 2 weeks. Additionally, you can take **Simethicone** for relief from burping. It is important to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.
