I'm really worried because lately Ive been experiencing this weird heart fluttering sensation. Its been happening for the last 15 days whenever Im asleep. I suddenly wake up feeling unconscious, and its like I cant even express what Im going through. For a moment, I seriously feel like Im dying, but then after a few seconds, I feel okay again. It happened again last week and then today during the day when I napped. Its super scary and I dont understand whats going on or why this is happening when Im sleeping. Can you please help me figure out what this might be?

Hii, it sounds like you are experiencing episodes of heart palpitations or fluttering. This can be a concerning symptom and it's important to get evaluated by a healthcare professional. In the meantime, you can try taking a beta-blocker medication like Metoprolol (25-50mg) to help control your heart rate and reduce palpitations. It is important to follow up with a doctor for further evaluation and management of your symptoms.

I've been noticing some strange smells for the past monthmost foods just don't smell right to me. It hasn't gone away, and on top of that, I've been dealing with chest pains for the last couple of days, especially when I lie down to sleep. Do you think I should see a doctor about this? Also, why do things smell so weird to me? Plus, I'm feeling really tense all the time.

Ecg and x-ray chest pa view is advised to the patient.
