View allI've been having this issue since an incident a few months back. I was eating crunchy peanut butter, and it got stuck in my food pipe, which led to some pain on the left side of my chest. It's been three months now, but I still feel pain in my chest sometimes. My heart rate also seems to elevate out of nowhere, even when I'm just lying down. Is there a link between the peanut butter incident and these heart symptoms? I've had an ECG and Echo, and both came back normal. I'm wondering if something could be wrong with my heart or if it's all just in my head. Would love to hear your thoughts on this.
It's good that you have already done ECG and Echo tests, and the results were normal. The symptoms you are experiencing may be related to esophageal irritation from the incident with the peanut butter, rather than a heart issue. To help with the chest pain and elevated heart rate, you can try taking over-the-counter antacids like Tums or Maalox to reduce acid reflux and irritation in the esophagus. Additionally, you can take a proton pump inhibitor like Omeprazole to further reduce stomach acid production. If the symptoms persist, you may also consider taking a medication like Propranolol to help with the elevated heart rate. However, it's important to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.

I'm 32 and recently had an ECG done for ICL eye surgery my heart rate was around 120-127. I don't have any health issues, heart pain, or abnormalities, and my full-body checks since 27 always show a heart rate in the 120 range. Is this a serious problem, and can I still go ahead with the ICL surgery? I've attached my report for reference.
You have a consistently high heart rate around 120 range for the past 5 years without any health issues or abnormalities. This may be normal for you, especially if you are physically active or have a naturally high heart rate. However, it is important to further evaluate the cause of your elevated heart rate to ensure it is not due to any underlying medical condition. Considering you are planning to proceed with ICL eye surgery, it would be advisable to consult with a cardiologist to assess your heart health and determine if any further investigations or treatment are necessary before undergoing the surgery. The cardiologist may recommend medications such as Metoprolol to help lower your heart rate if needed. It is important to address any potential cardiac issues before proceeding with surgery to ensure your safety and well-being
