I'm a bit concerned because I've been experiencing a fast heartbeat after I climb stairs or if I'm walking in the sun for just about 10 minutes. Even while cleaning a room, my heart rate seems to go up rapidly. I'm 20 years old, weigh about 65 kg, and I'm 5.4 inches tall. Could you tell me what might be going on?

A fast heart rate after climbing stairs or walking in the sunlight is often due to your body's increased demand for oxygen during physical activity: Climbing stairs: When you climb stairs, your heart works harder to pump blood to your muscles, which increases your heart rate. This is called sinus tachycardia, which is a symptom, not a condition. Sunlight: Physical activity can cause your heart rate to increase.

View allI'm feeling really anxious about some things I've noticed. My recent ECG showed some non-specific T wave changes, and I'm not sure what that means. On top of that, I've been dealing with chronic pain in my left arm and I've also been experiencing tachycardia. Should I be worried about these symptoms together? Any advice or insights would be really helpful.
Non-specific T wave changes on an ECG can have various causes, including cardiac issues, electrolyte imbalances, or even be a normal variant. Given your symptoms of chronic left arm pain and tachycardia, it is important to further evaluate the underlying cause. In this case, you may benefit from a thorough cardiac evaluation and possibly a medication like Aspirin for heart protection, along with a beta-blocker like Metoprolol to help control your heart rate. Additionally, addressing any underlying issues such as high blood pressure or cholesterol levels may also be necessary. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further assessment and management.

I'm really concerned about my recent master checkup results. The doctor mentioned I have an abnormal heart rhythm where my heart stops for 1.8 seconds. He said it's a birth defect and suggested I get a pacemaker. I've been feeling dizzy lately, and I'm wondering if that's related to my heart issue. Do you think it's a good idea to go ahead with the pacemaker? Are there any other treatments or alternatives you would recommend?
Yes, the dizziness could be related to the abnormal heart rhythm causing brief pauses in the heart's electrical activity. A pacemaker is commonly recommended for individuals with significant heart rhythm abnormalities like yours to help regulate the heart's rhythm and prevent pauses that can lead to symptoms like dizziness. Alternative treatments may include medications to help control the heart rhythm, but in cases where there are significant pauses in the heart rhythm, a pacemaker is often the most effective and safest option to prevent complications and improve quality of life. It is advisable to follow your doctor's recommendation to have a pacemaker implanted to help regulate your heart rhythm and prevent further symptoms like dizziness.
