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.

My dad's angiogram showed a 95% block in his LAD, but the SPECT test said only 25-30% of his heart muscle is viable. The PET CT later showed 60% hibernating myocardium that's still viable. Should we go for revascularization, and if so, would a stent or bypass be better? What are the risks, or can we just stick to meds since he's stable right now?
Medicine is very important before and after procedure but it's not enough in this case Lucky no pain gives you time but few of left myocardial muscle will die if we don't give blood to it so sitting on it is not a good idea Than should not have done all scans because now they are telling you to act upon Single block easily removed by stent takes ten minutes and. 20 years results comparable to bypass . I would get myself cut for no reason Bypass is optional if stent can't be done or too many blocks
