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.

View allI'm really worried about my vitamin D3 and B12 levels, which are 12 and 160, and I've been experiencing chest pain. I did an ECG, echo, and TMT, and they all came back normal. My doctor suggested taking Neurobion Forte, but since I started it, my chest pain seems to be getting worse. What do you think could be causing this? Should I be worried about a reaction to the medication, or could there be another issue that wasn't detected?
After taking tab Neurobion Forte, if your chest pain has increased, it may be due to a reaction to the medication. Neurobion Forte contains a combination of vitamins B1, B6, and B12. Since you are experiencing chest pain, it is important to stop taking Neurobion Forte and consult your doctor for an alternative medication. In the meantime, you can try taking a pain reliever like acetaminophen for relief from chest pain.

I've had a CBAG procedure back in 2006 and I'm currently on ATORVA 10 mg, but I'm wondering if it might be better for me to switch to Clopitorva A 75. Can you help me understand the differences and which might be more beneficial for my condition?
Ideally you have to take both,its better to have an openion with cardiologist
