I'm a bit worried because my heart rate has been consistently between 105 and 110 beats per minute, even when I'm resting. It's been like this for the last 20 days. Can you tell me what's going on and if I should be concerned?

View allI've been noticing this feeling of palpitations or a flickering sensation in my chest about two or three times a day, and it lasts between 5 to 10 seconds. I had some tests done, like an ECG, an echo, and a TMT, and they all came back normal. Should I be worried about this, or is this something that can happen even if those tests are alright? Is there anything else I should consider or do?
Experiencing palpitations or flickering in the chest for brief periods, despite normal ECG, echo, and TMT results, is often benign and can be related to factors such as stress, caffeine intake, anxiety, or hormonal fluctuations. While these sensations can be unsettling, they are usually not a cause for concern if cardiac tests are normal. To manage these symptoms, consider reducing caffeine and alcohol intake, practicing stress-relief techniques such as mindfulness or yoga, and ensuring adequate hydration and sleep. If the palpitations persist or worsen, consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation and to discuss additional monitoring, such as a Holter monitor, to capture intermittent episodes.

I'm a bit worried about my cholesterol and triglyceride levels. They've been at 219 and 342 respectively, for the last 6 months. I don't have any other medical issues. Do you think I need to start taking medication for this? I'm really unsure and would appreciate your advice.
Your cholesterol level of 219 and triglyceride level of 342 are elevated, indicating a risk for cardiovascular disease. In this case, medication may be necessary to help lower your cholesterol and triglyceride levels to reduce the risk of heart disease. I recommend starting on a statin medication such as Atorvastatin (brand name Lipitor) at a dosage of 20mg daily to help lower your cholesterol levels. Additionally, you can consider adding Fenofibrate (brand name Tricor) at a dosage of 145mg daily to specifically target your triglyceride levels. It is important to follow up with your doctor regularly to monitor your progress and adjust your treatment plan as needed.

I've been experiencing some weird symptoms lately that have me feeling pretty uneasy. I'm 23 and for a few months now, I've noticed some strong palpitations in my chest. It's especially strange because they often happen around noon, and I've even felt my whole body shake with my heartbeat when I'm trying to sleep. I've already had an ECG and ECHO done, and everything seemed normal. My mobile app is showing a fast heart rate around noon, too. On top of all this, I've been dealing with gas problems and quite a bit of anxiety. What do you think could be going on?
It sounds like you may be experiencing palpitations and tremors due to anxiety and gas problems. To help with your symptoms, I recommend the following: - For palpitations and fast heart rate, you can take Propranolol 20mg twice daily to help regulate your heart rate and reduce palpitations. - For anxiety, you can try taking Alprazolam 0.25mg as needed to help manage your anxiety symptoms. - For gas problems, you can take Simethicone 125mg after meals to help relieve gas and bloating. Make sure to follow the recommended dosages and consult with your doctor before starting any new medication. It's also important to practice stress-reducing techniques, such as deep breathing exercises and mindfulness, to help manage your anxiety symptoms.
