I'm a 25-year-old woman with a BMI of 22.5, and I've been having episodes of tachycardia from time to time. My resting heart rate is usually in the 90s to low 100s, and I don't have any personal or family history of heart disease or drug use. The most recent episode happened yesterday, and I finally got an EKG. It showed sinus tachycardia with a short PR of 100. I work in an outpatient clinic, and a coworker did the EKG for me. Should I be worried about this?

I'm experiencing pain when I tilt my head towards my left shoulder. I also have thyroid issues and asthma. When I move my neck to the left, there's this pain that travels from the back of my neck to my chest. Could this be something connected to my heart?

it may not necessarily be related to your heart. It could be due to muscle strain or tension in your neck and chest area. However, given your history of thyroid issues and asthma, it is important to rule out any other potential causes. To help alleviate the pain, you can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen. Additionally, applying a warm compress to the painful area and practicing gentle neck stretches may also provide some relief. If the pain persists or worsens, it is advisable to consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I can see my pulse visibly pulsating right below my thumb. It doesn't hurt or anything, but it sure looks odd. I don't remember seeing it there before, or maybe I just never noticed it. Should I be worried or is this normal?

Sir, I'm 27 and have no bad habits like drinking or smoking, but my weight is 80 kg. For the past year, I've experienced daily pain in my left chest. Throughout this time, I've had 20 ECGs, 2 echocardiograms, and a TMT that was negative. My troponin levels are normal, along with a normal chest X-ray, random blood sugar, renal function tests, and thyroid function tests. My blood pressure is high at 16298, so I'm on Telma 20 tablets. Six months ago, my lipid profile was normal too. Why do I keep getting this pain in my left chest? It's causing me a lot of anxiety, and I worry about dying. I even got an ECG yesterday and attached the pic. Is there any other test I should consider for this pain?

The tests you have done so far indicate that your heart and other vital organs are functioning normally. Since your chest pain has been persisting for a year and you have already undergone multiple tests, it is important to consider other possible causes for your symptoms. One potential reason for your chest pain could be related to musculoskeletal issues or anxiety. I recommend trying over-the-counter pain relief medication like acetaminophen for your chest pain. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques such as deep breathing exercises or yoga may help alleviate any anxiety-related chest discomfort. If your symptoms persist or worsen, you may consider consulting with a specialist such as a cardiologist or a gastroenterologist for further evaluation. They may suggest additional tests or imaging studies based on their clinical assessment. Remember to maintain a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise and a balanced diet, to support your overall well-being. If you have any concerns or new symptoms, do not hesitate to seek medical advice promptly.
