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 been experiencing this pinching pain in my heart area, and I'm really worried about it. Someone mentioned it could be musculoskeletal pain or maybe gastritis. Can you help me understand what musculoskeletal pain actually is and how it might relate to what's going on with me?

Musculoskeletal pain refers to pain that affects the muscles, ligaments, tendons, and bones in the body. It can be caused by various factors such as overuse, injury, poor posture, or muscle tension. To help relieve musculoskeletal pain, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen (Advil) or acetaminophen (Tylenol) at the recommended dosage. Additionally, applying a topical pain relief cream like Bengay or Icy Hot to the affected area can also provide relief. Stretching exercises, physical therapy, and heat or ice therapy may also be beneficial in managing musculoskeletal pain.

I'm dealing with high blood pressure and tachycardia, and my heart rate is pretty fast. I've been taking Hypen 121.5 mg daily for my BP and Indever 40 mg twice a day. Lately, I've started taking Indever regularly, and I've noticed that whenever I talk loudly or shout, I get chest pain. This has been happening for the last four months, even with the medication. Is this something I should be worried about?

no problem you continue your medicine
