I'm a 27-year-old female and my heart rate seems unusually high, usually over 100, sometimes even reaching 130 beats per minute, even when I'm resting. All my tests, like Spo2, ESR, vitamin levels, thyroid, lipid, and many more have come back normal, including the NT-proBNP. But I just can't shake off this feeling of worry about my heart. The doctors didn't seem to focus much on the heartbeats, though, and asked me to get an MRI spine for my pain. I often experience upper back pain, a heavy feeling in my head, shortness of breath, and sometimes pain in my left breast and shoulder blade. It's less when I'm in bed but gets severe when I'm sitting or working. With my heart rate always on the high side at my age, is this something to be concerned about? Also, why did my doctor order an MRI and not more heart-related tests?

While your symptoms are concerning, its reassuring that you've had normal cardiac markers and blood work, which likely rules out serious heart conditions. However, continued monitoring and further tests will help you get to the root cause.

View allI've been having some health issues that are making me anxious. My ECG today showed a low T wave in V4 and a slight ST depression in V6. I'm not sure what that means, and I'm a bit worried about it. I also tend to get high blood pressure sometimes, and my lipid and cortisol levels are up. What can I do about all this? Should I be getting any more tests done?
Based on your ECG findings of low T wave in V4 and slight ST depression in V6, along with your history of anxiety, high blood pressure, high lipid levels, and high cortisol levels, it is important to further evaluate your cardiac health. I recommend you to consult a cardiologist for a detailed evaluation and management plan. Further tests that may be recommended include: 1. Stress test (Treadmill test) to assess your heart's response to physical activity. 2. Echocardiogram to evaluate the structure and function of your heart. 3. Holter monitor or event monitor to monitor your heart's activity over a period of time. 4. Blood tests to assess your cholesterol levels, blood sugar levels, and other cardiac markers. In the meantime, it is important to manage your anxiety, high blood pressure, high lipid levels, and high cortisol levels. You can consider medications such as Atorvastatin for high cholesterol, Amlodipine for high blood pressure, and Alprazolam for anxiety. However, the specific dosage and duration of these medications should be determined by your healthcare provider after a thorough evaluation.

I'm curious if I should be concerned about my heart that starts pounding after I climb stairs, run, or even just fast walk. It also happens if I get up too quickly from lying down. I've done all the blood tests and an ECG as my doctor suggested, and everything came back normal. Is there something I should worry about?
An echo and ecg is advised.

I've been feeling really off latelyI'm a 50-year-old woman, and for the past little while, it feels like my heart is skipping a beat all the time. I've got high blood pressure and thyroid issues that I'm managing, but this heart thing is worrying me a lot. I went for a check-up two days ago, but I'm still feeling uneasy. Could it be something serious, or maybe something related to my medications or conditions? What should I do next? Im feeling a bit anxious about it.
You should have your ECG test done
