I'm a bit confused and concerned about my heart health. I had an ECG that showed a myocardial infarction, but after doing 45 more ECGs, they all turned out normal. My echocardiogram is normal too, and the cardiac markers came back negative. I don't know why this happened, and it's making me anxious. The initial reason for the ECG was some giddiness I felt. Should I be worried about these results?

It is possible that the initial ECG showing myocardial infarction was a false positive result, which can sometimes occur due to technical errors or other factors. Since subsequent ECGs, echo, and cardiac markers are normal, it is reassuring that there is no evidence of ongoing heart damage. However, it is important to continue monitoring your symptoms and follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation if you experience any recurrent symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, or dizziness.

I'm really concerned about my pulse rate which is constantly between 120 to 130, and it sometimes shoots up to 150 or 170 when I'm feeling anxious. Lately, I've been feeling pretty worn out, and since I had a bad fever last month, it just seems like my pulse is higher than ever. It almost feels like I can hear it all the time, like listening through a stethoscope. Do you have any tips to help me bring down my pulse rate naturally, without having to go through treatments, scans, or using medication?

I've been experiencing a rapid heartbeat and palpitations with no specific timing. Sometimes it feels like my heart is sinking. I've had an ECG and TMT, and both came back normal. I also have hypothyroidism, and my doctor thinks it might be due to anxiety. I'm wondering if I should get any other tests to rule out heart disease. What do you think?
Based on your symptoms and the normal ECG and TMT results, it is likely that your palpitations and fast heart rate are indeed related to anxiety, especially given your history of hypothyroidism. However, if you still have concerns about ruling out any underlying heart disease, you may consider getting a Holter monitor test to monitor your heart rhythm continuously for a period of time. This can help detect any irregular heartbeats that may not show up on a standard ECG. Additionally, an echocardiogram may be considered to assess the structure and function of your heart. In the meantime, managing your anxiety through relaxation techniques, regular exercise, and stress-reducing activities can also help alleviate your symptoms.
