I've been experiencing this weird sensation where I can feel my heartbeat or pulse when I'm lying down on my pillow. It usually happens in the side of my neck or at the back of my head. This has been going on for about three months now. I've had an ECG and an echo, and they were normal, except the ECG showed sinus tachycardia. I also got a thyroid test, which came back normal. My blood pressure is fine too, and I dont have any other symptoms. Its just strange that it only happens when Im lying down. I did have COVID nine months ago, but that feels like ages ago now. What should I do next?

It sounds like you may be experiencing palpitations, which can be concerning. Since your ECG and echo were normal and your thyroid test was also normal, it is good news that there are no major issues detected so far. Sinus tachycardia can sometimes cause palpitations, especially when lying down. One possible next step could be to monitor your heart rate with a Holter monitor to see if there are any irregularities in your heart rhythm over a longer period of time. In the meantime, you can try to avoid caffeine, alcohol, and stress, as these can sometimes trigger palpitations. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it would be best to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I've been having chest pain when I walk for the last 8 days, but my ECG and 2D echo reports came back normal. I've had asthma since childhood, and I'm 48 years old, weighing 75 kg. When I get the chest pain, there's no breathlessness or anything else, just the pain. It eases up when I rest. My blood pressure is normal, too. What could be causing this?

cardiac markers and ecg are advised..

I'm kind of confused and a bit worried about my recent ECG results. The cardiologist mentioned something about needing to "correlate clinically" with the results. Could you help me understand what that means? I've got my report here and I'm just trying to figure out what I should be doing next.

it is normal
