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.

I've had a 2D echo and an ECG, and both came back normal, and my TMT was negative too. But sometimes I get this pinching pain on the left side of my chest that lasts for about 9-10 seconds. It really freaks me out and makes me anxious, thinking there might be something wrong with my heart. What could this be and what should I do about it?

It's good that your 2D echo, ECG, and TMT results were normal. The pain you are experiencing could be due to anxiety or muscle strain. To alleviate the pain and anxiety, you can take Tab. Paracetamol 500mg as needed for pain relief. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques such as deep breathing exercises or yoga can help reduce anxiety. If the pain persists or worsens, it's advisable to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation.

I'm 21 and recently, I've been having these awful symptoms like fever, headache, neck pain, and muscle strain for a few days now. My blood pressure was really high at one point, 160 over 100, but it's slightly better now at 140 over 70. However, I'm experiencing some serious chest pain, dizziness, and shortness of breath, which is quite worrying. My hemoglobin level is just 7, and I'm usually pretty active with yoga and cardio workouts. My weight is 52 kg and so is my height in inches, which I know is unusual. Could all of these symptoms be connected, and should I be doing anything specific to address them?

Diagnosis is anaemia hb 7 , kindly consult the physicisn for further management.
