I'm 20 years old and I've been diagnosed with sinus tachycardia. I also have an overactive thyroid, and I've been told my heart's right ventricle is a little bigger than the left. Could all of this be a serious health risk?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Sinus tachycardia in the setting of an overactive thyroid can sometimes lead to complications, especially if left untreated. The enlarged right ventricle may be a result of the increased workload on the heart due to the tachycardia. It is important to manage both the thyroid condition and the tachycardia to prevent further complications. Medications such as Propranolol can be used to help control the heart rate and symptoms. Regular monitoring by a healthcare provider is essential to ensure proper management of your condition.

View allI had this sudden pain on the left side of my chest last night, and it kind of felt like there was pressure in my throat too. It went away after about 15-30 minutes, but theres still a bit of chest pain lingering. Any idea what might be going on? Im really worried.
Based on your description, it is possible that you may have experienced a muscle strain or inflammation in your chest wall, known as costochondritis. This condition can cause sharp, stabbing pain in the chest that may worsen with movement or deep breathing. It is usually not serious and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen (e.g. Advil) taken at a dose of 400mg every 4-6 hours as needed for pain. However, if the pain persists or worsens, it is important to seek medical attention to rule out more serious conditions such as a heart problem.

I'm 25, and I've been dealing with this on-and-off pain in my left arm for about 15-20 days now. It was sharp and shooting at first, so I thought it might be gastritis, but now the pain's more dull and constant. Lately, for about a week, I've been feeling breathless sometimes, and there's some nausea too. I get tired pretty quick and now there's this annoying discomfort in my upper back. Should I be looking into any specific tests or is there something else I should be considering?
MRI of the left arm and ortho opinion is advised

I've been noticing that when I'm lying down, I can hear my heartbeat clearly, and it's even visible through my shirt and in my stomach area. At night, while trying to fall asleep, I sometimes feel a sense of fear in my chest and stomach. What could be causing this?
These symptoms could be due to anxiety or stress, which can cause palpitations (feeling of heart beating fast or irregularly), visible pulsations in the abdomen, and a sensation of fear or unease in the chest and stomach. It is important to manage stress and anxiety through relaxation techniques, exercise, and possibly counseling. Additionally, you can take a beta-blocker like Propranolol 20mg to help reduce palpitations and visible pulsations. Make sure to consult with a healthcare provider for proper evaluation and management.
