I had a gastric issue that was resolved with medication, but I recently did a complete blood test. The results showed my hs-CRP level is 9, though my cholesterol levels are normal. I'm really curious about what this means and if there's something I should be concerned about. Could you help explain this?

I've been feeling my heartbeat in my stomach when I'm lying down, and it's like my stomach moves with each beat. My ECG came out normal, so I'm not sure what's going on. What steps should I take next?

This sensation could be due to a condition called pulsatile tinnitus, where you perceive your heartbeat in your abdomen. Since your ECG is normal, it is less likely to be related to a heart issue. However, it is important to rule out other potential causes. I recommend you consult with a healthcare provider for further evaluation. In the meantime, you can try managing stress and anxiety, as they can sometimes exacerbate this sensation.

I'm wondering if having sinus tachycardia can be the reason I'm experiencing shortness of breath. Like, when I start walking, my heart rate jumps to around 150 bpm, and it also causes me to feel out of breath at night. Could these be connected?

I'm really worried about my cousin. Every time they're talking, they get this warm feeling in their left upper arm and chest. It feels kind of hot, and then there's pain in the upper arm, but it goes away after a while. Should we be concerned, or is this something that might be normal?

It seems unusual,visit Physician for evaluation and appropriate help
