I've noticed when I'm lying down that I can really feel my heartbeat in my left chest and sometimes even in other parts of my body. I've already had an ECG, echo, and TMT, and they all came back normal. My anxiety has been under control, but this is still happening. Could it be something else or is this just something normal?

can be due to benign causes such as heightened awareness of your heartbeat (palpitations) or muscle twitching. This can be exacerbated by anxiety. To help alleviate these symptoms, you can try taking a beta-blocker medication like Metoprolol (25-50mg) once daily to reduce the sensation of palpitations. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques such as deep breathing exercises or yoga can also be beneficial in managing these symptoms.

View allI've been getting chest pain and started to feel it in the center below my chest, like where the stomach is, even though I've done ECG more than 20 times and everything seemed normal. I just had a TMT on May 31st, 2022, and I'm wondering how long the reports from that are actually valid. My LDL and HDL levels are normal, but my triglycerides are quite higharound 400. Could this high level of triglycerides be causing a blockage? Is this something heart-related that I should be worried about?
Chest pain can have various causes, including heart-related issues. Since your TMT ECG and other tests have shown normal results, it is less likely to be related to your heart. However, it is essential to consider other factors such as gastrointestinal issues or musculoskeletal pain. It would be best to consult a doctor for a proper evaluation and diagnosis. TMT ECG reports are typically valid for a few months, but it is recommended to consult your healthcare provider for specific guidance. High triglyceride levels, especially above 400, can increase the risk of developing blockages in the arteries over time. It is crucial to manage your triglyceride levels through lifestyle changes and, if necessary, medications prescribed by a healthcare professional.

I'm really worried about my blood pressure, which is at 8065. I feel so weak and am considered underweight, weighing only 39.2 kg at a height of 5'3". I'm currently taking Health OK multivitamins to help with my low blood pressure, but I'm anxious if these numbers will ever get to normal. Do you think I'll be able to achieve a normal heart rate, or is this something I'll have to deal with forever? I'm only 20, so this has me pretty concerned.
Low blood pressure can be concerning, especially if it is causing symptoms like weakness. In your case, being underweight may also contribute to low blood pressure. To help increase your blood pressure and improve your symptoms, you can try increasing your salt and fluid intake, wearing compression stockings, and eating frequent small meals. To address your anxiety and support your heart rate, you can consider taking a beta-blocker medication like Metoprolol. The usual starting dose for Metoprolol is 25mg once daily, which can be adjusted as needed under medical supervision. It's important to continue monitoring your blood pressure and heart rate regularly, and make lifestyle changes to support your overall health. If you have persistent concerns or symptoms, it's advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I've been feeling this needle-like pain in my left chest that started a couple of nights ago while I was asleep and it lasted about 10 minutes. Afterward, I started getting these intermittent pin-pricking pains on both sides of my chest. Now I'm even feeling some discomfort in my back and mild pains in my left shoulder and arms, which sometimes shift to the right side. Im already dealing with a breathing problem and recently noticed some chest tightness. I dont feel tired or dizzy, but I do have a stomach ulcer. I'm really worried this could be some kind of heart attack or angina. What should I do?
Neurologist opinion.
