Question

What could be causing my palpitations if it's not heart-related? All my tests, like the ECG, 2D echo, CBC, thyroid, and vitamin D3, came back normal. I still get palpitations randomly and also feel really tired with body aches. What might be going on?

Question

I'm really worried about my dad. He recently had an acute heart attack, and he's 68. Thankfully, he's stable now, but he's also dealing with diabetes. We consulted a cardiologist and decided not to do the angiography because his serum creatinine level was around 1.7, which was a bit high. He's on medication at the moment. Our cardiologist mentioned vaccines called Pulmovac and Vomimp for his heart. I'm curious to know if these vaccines are helpful and if there are any potential side effects I should be aware of.

Question

I'm trying to understand a recent exercise test result and have some worries. During the Bruce Protocol, I lasted for just over 7 minutes and reached 10.10 METs. My heart rate hit 179 beats per minute, which is apparently 95% of what they'd expect as my maximum. They stopped the test at that point, saying I'd hit my target heart rate. There was no usual chest pain, but I'm still concerned about whether stopping because of the heart rate is normal. Does this result suggest any potential heart issues I should be aware of?
