I'm 22 and have been feeling something weird in my heart for about a week now. It's hard to explain, but it's like something is wrong near my heart. I can still walk 5km, run, lift weights, and eat normally. However, when I drink water, it feels like it's going toward my heart. Also, I have a slight pain in my right thigh. I'm getting a bit worried because I'm planning to go to the UK next month. Is this something serious that I should be concerned about?

Based on your symptoms, it is important to rule out any potential heart issues. The sensation you are feeling near your heart, along with the thigh pain, could be related to various factors. It is recommended to consult a doctor for a proper evaluation and diagnosis. In the meantime, you can take a low dose of Aspirin (75-100mg) once daily to help with any potential heart-related concerns. Additionally, ensure you stay hydrated and avoid strenuous activities until you have been evaluated by a healthcare professional.

I'm really worried because I was just sitting and out of nowhere, I felt a shock in my chest. My legs suddenly went cold, and I started vomiting something that tasted like acid. I have all my reports with me. Does this sound like something serious?
Sudden sensations of a shock in the heart, cold legs, and vomiting acid are concerning symptoms that should be promptly evaluated by a healthcare provider. While your recent 2D echo, TMT, and chest X-ray are normal, the acute nature of these symptoms, especially the feeling of a heart shock and cold legs, could indicate a serious condition such as a cardiac event or a severe gastrointestinal issue like a stomach acid reflux or esophageal spasm. It is crucial to seek immediate medical attention to rule out any potentially serious conditions. Your healthcare provider may recommend additional diagnostic tests, such as an electrocardiogram (ECG) if not already done, blood tests, or an upper gastrointestinal endoscopy to determine the cause of your symptoms.

I've been having a pounding heart and sometimes feel dizzy for about a week now. It even happens when I'm just sitting around doing nothing. Any idea what's going on? Should I be worried?
These symptoms could be due to a condition called palpitations, which can be caused by various factors such as stress, anxiety, caffeine intake, or underlying heart conditions. To help manage your symptoms, you can try taking a beta-blocker medication such as Metoprolol (25-50mg) once daily to help regulate your heart rate and reduce palpitations. Additionally, it is important to reduce your caffeine intake and practice stress-reducing techniques such as deep breathing or meditation. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please seek further evaluation from a healthcare professional.
