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'm a bit worried about my recent TMT report. It came back as mildly positive for provocable ischemia. I'm currently taking atenolol 50mg and atorvastatin 10mg. What does this mean for my heart health, and should I be concerned or is there more I need to do?
A TMT report indicating mildly positive provokable ischemia suggests potential reduced blood flow to the heart during exertion, indicating coronary artery disease. Given that you are taking Atenolol 50 mg and Atorvastatin 10 mg, it is crucial to review these findings with your cardiologist. They may recommend additional diagnostic tests such as a coronary angiogram or stress echocardiogram to further evaluate your condition. In the meantime, continue taking your medications as prescribed, and adhere to lifestyle modifications like a heart-healthy diet, regular exercise within advised limits, and stress management. If you experience any worsening symptoms, seek immediate medical attention.

I'm 29 and feeling anxious about the possibility of having a heart attack. My blood pressure and blood sugar levels are normal, my TSH is normal too, I have no bad habits, and I weigh 55 kg. Is it still possible for me to have a heart attack?
It is uncommon for someone with your profile to have a heart attack at such a young age. However, there are other factors that can contribute to heart attacks, such as family history, cholesterol levels, and overall lifestyle. It is important to continue monitoring your health and consider regular check-ups with your doctor to assess your overall cardiovascular risk.

I've been experiencing this pain that comes and goes between my breasts, and I'm really worried it might be related to my heart. Can you help me figure out if it's something serious?
Pain in between the two breasts that comes and goes can be related to various causes, including musculoskeletal issues, gastrointestinal problems, or even heart-related issues. It is important to rule out any potential heart-related issues, especially if you have risk factors such as high blood pressure, diabetes, or a family history of heart disease. I recommend you to take an ECG test to rule out any heart-related problems. If the pain is due to heart issues, medications like Aspirin and Nitroglycerin may be prescribed.
