Why do I feel nervous and anxious all the time? My heart's always thumping really hard, and I can actually feel it when I touch my chest. It's making me really uneasy. What could be causing this?

View allI've been feeling something a bit strange lately whenever I lie down, especially on my side or stomach, I can actually feel my heart beating. And when I press my ear to the pillow, I can hear it clearly in my ears. Ive already had an ECG, echo, and thyroid tests, and everything came back normal. My blood pressure and heartbeat are normal too. I dont have any other symptoms, so Im wondering what this could be or if it's something I should be worried about. What should I do next?
u don't worry nothing will happen

I'm wondering if it's necessary to get an echo test for my mom. She's 47 and has slightly high cholesterol, but her ECG is normal. Should we be concerned about any potential heart issues, or is it okay to skip the echo test for now?
If your mother has high cholesterol and there are concerns about her heart health, it may be beneficial to get an echocardiogram (echo) done even if the ECG is normal. An echocardiogram is a test that uses sound waves to create detailed images of the heart and can provide valuable information about the structure and function of the heart. It can help assess for any potential heart conditions that may not be detected by an ECG alone. In this case, it would be advisable to consult with a cardiologist who can recommend the appropriate course of action based on your mother's individual health profile.

I'm experiencing heaviness and palpitations in my chest along with heartburn. I've gone through several tests like ECG, Echo, stress TMT, and stress MPI, and they all came back normal. But I still feel these symptoms sometimes and have visited many cardiologists without finding a solution. They say it's anxiety, yet I sleep well at night. Do you have any advice or suggestions for further tests? And is it okay if I drink chamomile tea at night?
It's good that you have undergone various cardiac tests which have come back normal. Since your symptoms are still persisting, it is possible that anxiety could be contributing to your symptoms. In addition to managing stress and anxiety, you can try over-the-counter antacids for heartburn relief. For palpitations, you can try taking a magnesium supplement. However, it's important to consult with a doctor before starting any new supplement. As for chamomile tea, it is generally considered safe for most people and can help with relaxation. You can try drinking chamomile tea in the evening to help with anxiety and promote better sleep. Start with a low dose and see how your body reacts to it. If your symptoms continue or worsen, it may be helpful to consult with a gastroenterologist to rule out any gastrointestinal issues that could be contributing to your symptoms.
