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 a bit worried about my pulse rate being 130 when I wake up. Is that considered high? I tested positive for COVID-19 on August 5th, 2020, and thankfully, I tested negative by August 29th, 2020. Could this be related to my elevated pulse rate?
A pulse rate of 130 when you wake up is considered high. It is possible that your previous COVID-19 infection could be a contributing factor to this elevated pulse rate. However, it is important to monitor your symptoms and consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation. In the meantime, you can consider taking Metoprolol (brand name: Lopressor) 25mg once daily to help lower your heart rate.

I'm really worried about my dad. He had a sudden paralysis attack because his blood pressure shot up unexpectedly. He's getting treatment, but now his right hand and face are affected. The ECO test shows RWMA; should I be concerned about that? Everything else looks okay, but I'm anxious. How serious is RWMA, and what should we be prepared for next?
It sounds like your father experienced a transient ischemic attack (TIA) due to high blood pressure. The presence of RWMA+ on an ECG test indicates regional wall motion abnormality, which can be a sign of reduced blood flow to a specific area of the heart. To prevent further episodes, it is important to manage his blood pressure effectively. He can be prescribed medications like Amlodipine (5mg) and Lisinopril (10mg) to control his blood pressure and reduce the risk of future TIAs. Additionally, Aspirin (81mg) can be recommended to prevent blood clots and reduce the risk of stroke. Regular follow-up with a healthcare provider is essential to monitor his condition and adjust treatment as needed.

I recently went through a 2D echo because of some palpitations, and I've had an EKG as well. Plus, I did a stress test a while back. Do these results seem normal to you?
Based on the information provided, I cannot give a definitive answer without reviewing the actual results of your 2D echo, EKG, and stress test. It is important to consult with your healthcare provider to interpret the results accurately. If everything looks normal, no further action may be needed. However, if there are any abnormalities or concerns, your doctor may recommend specific medications.
