I've been experiencing some unusual muscle twitching for the past couple of weeks, especially in my upper left arm, and sometimes it happens in my chest too. Its mainly my arm thats twitching quite a bit. I'm really worried that this could be related to my heart. Could this muscle twitching be a sign of a heart issue?

Question

I'm feeling a vibration sensation in my left chest that's been going on for a few seconds at a time. I had an ECG and ECO test done, and both came back normal, and the doctor told me that I don't need any medicine. But I'm still experiencing it sometimes, and I'm just wondering how long it might take for this vibration to stop?

Question

I'm really concerned about my heart rate lately. It seems to spike, especially when I'm sleeping, and I'm not sure if it's because of fear or anxiety about everything that's happening with COVID-19. Could you give me some advice or steps I can take to handle this? I'd be open to a phone or video consultation too. Appreciate your help!
