I've been feeling my heartbeat in my stomach when I'm lying down, and it's like my stomach moves with each beat. My ECG came out normal, so I'm not sure what's going on. What steps should I take next?
This sensation could be due to a condition called pulsatile tinnitus, where you perceive your heartbeat in your abdomen. Since your ECG is normal, it is less likely to be related to a heart issue. However, it is important to rule out other potential causes. I recommend you consult with a healthcare provider for further evaluation. In the meantime, you can try managing stress and anxiety, as they can sometimes exacerbate this sensation.

I'm really worried because I've been dealing with anemia for the past five months, and then about a month ago, my heart test showed something called mild tricuspid regurgitation. Could the anemia be the reason for this heart issue? And if it is, what steps should I take to address it?
Anemia can sometimes lead to heart problems such as tricuspid regurgitation due to the decreased oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood. To help treat your anemia and improve your heart condition, I recommend taking iron supplements such as Ferrous Sulfate 325 mg once or twice daily, as well as Vitamin B12 supplements. Additionally, it is important to consume iron-rich foods such as red meat, spinach, and lentils. Regular follow-up with your healthcare provider is essential to monitor your progress and adjust treatment as needed.
