View allWhat could be causing my palpitations if it's not heart-related? All my tests, like the ECG, 2D echo, CBC, thyroid, and vitamin D3, came back normal. I still get palpitations randomly and also feel really tired with body aches. What might be going on?
Palpitations can be caused by various factors other than heart problems, even if your ECG, 2D echo, CBC, thyroid, and vitamin D3 levels are normal. Some possible causes of palpitations in your case could be: - Anxiety or stress - Caffeine or stimulant intake - Anemia - Dehydration - Electrolyte imbalances - Medications (such as decongestants or asthma inhalers) - Hormonal changes (such as during menstruation or menopause) To help alleviate your symptoms, you can try reducing caffeine intake, staying hydrated, managing stress through relaxation techniques, and ensuring a balanced diet. If symptoms persist, you may consider discussing with your doctor about medications like beta-blockers to help control palpitations.

I'm really concerned about my pulse rate, as it's been hovering between 95 and 105 for the past four years. I'm feeling a mild discomfort in my heart again, similar to what I experienced last year. When I visited Ibrahim Cardiac in Bangladesh, everything seemed normalno blockages or anything serious. After some rest and medication, I felt a bit better, but my pulse didn't change. Now that I'm in Oman, I can't easily consult the same doctor. I'm 33 years old, not overweight at 74 kg, and 5.5 in height. Do you think I should be worried about this pulse rate or the mild heart pain coming back? What should I do next?
It would be advisable to consult with a healthcare professional for a thorough evaluation. In the meantime, you can consider taking a low dose of Metoprolol (brand name: Lopressor) 25mg twice daily to help manage your heart rate and alleviate any discomfort. However, it is crucial to seek medical advice for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

I'm having some chest pain on the left side and I've been needing to urinate 4 to 5 times a day. Plus, my stomach feels uneasy. What's going on with me? Can you give me some advice?
Chest pain on the left side, frequent urination, and stomach discomfort can be symptoms of various conditions. It's important to consider both cardiac and non-cardiac causes. Given the chest pain, its essential to rule out any heart-related issues first. Since you're experiencing frequent urination and stomach discomfort, potential causes could include gastrointestinal issues like gastritis or a urinary tract infection (UTI). I recommend consulting your healthcare provider for a thorough evaluation, which may include an ECG, blood tests, urine analysis, and potentially an abdominal ultrasound. This will help determine the underlying cause and guide appropriate treatment.
