Question

I can hear my heartbeat when I lay down, and sometimes my shirt even moves with it. I can actually see it happening. My ECG came back normal, so I'm curious about what's going on. What could be causing this?

When you hear your heart sound when lying down and notice movement of your t-shirt along with it, it could be due to a condition called pulsatile tinnitus. This can occur when there is an increase in blood flow near the ear, causing you to hear your heartbeat. In this case, you can try using a white noise machine or background music to help mask the sound. If the symptoms persist or worsen, you may need to consult with an ENT specialist for further evaluation and management.

Question

I've been experiencing some chest pain on the left side where my heart is, and sometimes it even happens on the right side. It doesn't stop there though; I've noticed random pains around my body, especially in my left arm and a bit in my left shoulder. I went to the doctor, and she told me my hearts fine and suggested it might be Acid Reflux. But I'm still worried because I've read that pain in the left arm and shoulder can signal a heart attack. Should I be concerned or look out for anything else?
