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'm feeling a strong pulse in my chest and throat when I'm sleeping. If I stay in the same position for about half an hour, I really start to notice it, but it seems to stop when I change positions. During the day, I'm super energetic and don't have any issues, but this pulse thing keeps happening at night when I'm trying to sleep. Should I be worried about this? What could be causing it?
This sensation of feeling your pulse in your chest and throat while sleeping is known as pulsatile tinnitus. It can be caused by various factors such as high blood pressure, anemia, thyroid disorders, or even stress and anxiety. To address this issue, you can try managing stress levels, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, and ensuring proper sleep hygiene. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is recommended to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management. In the meantime, you can try taking a low dose of propranolol (Inderal) under the guidance of a doctor to help alleviate the sensation of pulsatile tinnitus while sleeping.
