View allI experienced a sudden jerk in the left side of my chest while I was sleeping at night. My ECG came back normal. What should I do next?
It is possible that the sudden jerk in your left side chest could be due to muscle spasm or a benign condition. However, if you continue to experience this sensation or if it is associated with other symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, or dizziness, it is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for a thorough evaluation. In the meantime, you can consider taking a muscle relaxant like Flexeril (cyclobenzaprine) 5-10mg as needed for muscle spasm.

I recently went through a medical test for my insurance, and they noted something called tachycardia. I'm a bit worried and curiousdoes this mean that tachycardia is actually present in my report? How do I confirm if it's really something to be concerned about?
Tachycardia is a condition where your heart beats faster than normal. To confirm if tachycardia is present in your report, you can look for the heart rate measurement. If your resting heart rate is consistently above 100 beats per minute, then it is likely that tachycardia is present. If you have been diagnosed with tachycardia, medications like Metoprolol (25-100mg) or Atenolol (25-100mg) may be prescribed to help regulate your heart rate.

Im 18 and experiencing palpitations out of nowhere, like my heart races hard even when Im just chilling. Its weird because Im not anxious, and all my tests like ECG and chest x-ray are showing normal results with normal sinus rhythm. My cardiac shadow came out normal too. So what could be causing these palpitations when Im just at rest?
It's good that your ECG and chest x-ray results are normal. Palpitations can sometimes occur without any underlying heart condition. In your case, since there is no apparent cause for the palpitations, you may consider taking a beta-blocker medication such as Metoprolol (25-50mg) to help reduce the palpitations and the sensation of your heart beating fast. Additionally, practicing stress-reducing techniques such as deep breathing exercises or yoga may also help alleviate the symptoms.
