I'm experiencing heart palpitations, a fluttering feeling in my chest, and shortness of breath. I've already had an ECG, TMT, and echo scan, and all of the results came back normal. Why might this be happening?

Heart palpitations, fluttering, and shortness of breath can be caused by various factors, even if your ECG, TMT, and echo scan results are normal. One possible cause could be anxiety or stress. However, other causes such as thyroid disorders, electrolyte imbalances, or certain medications can also lead to these symptoms. In your case, since your reports are normal, I recommend trying a beta-blocker medication like Metoprolol (25-50mg) to help with the palpitations and fluttering. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques and stress management may also be beneficial in reducing these symptoms.

View allSo, it's been almost 2 months now since I had COVID, and I've been dealing with some chest pain and this weird pulling sensation in my left hand and neck for the past month. I'm struggling with sleep too. I saw a doctor and had like 5 ECGs, all normal, but the pain's not really going away. It's scaring me a lot. The chest pain has reduced a bit, but now there's this pulling at my elbow and pain in my left shoulder. I had a troponin test which was at 0.04 and my blood sugar's normal too. What could this be? Is it still related to COVID?
It sounds like you are experiencing persistent chest pain, left hand pulling, and neck pain following a COVID infection. Since your ECG results have been normal and your blood tests are also normal, it is important to address your symptoms. The symptoms you are describing could be related to musculoskeletal issues or nerve irritation. To help alleviate your symptoms, you can try taking a muscle relaxant such as **Tizanidine** 2mg twice daily to help with the pulling sensation in your left hand and shoulder pain. Additionally, you can take an over-the-counter pain reliever such as **Ibuprofen** 400mg three times a day after meals to help with the chest pain and neck pain. It is also important to practice relaxation techniques such as deep breathing exercises or meditation to help reduce your fear and anxiety. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with your MD medicine doctor for further evaluation and management.

I'm really worried because my whole body seems to vibrate with my heartbeat, and I can actually see it in my stomach and hands. I've done ECGs, two TMTs, and an echo, and they all came back normal. I also feel this pressure on the left side of my chest, plus irritation in my throat that's been going on for more than two weeks now. I'm not sure if I should go for another echo or not. I also have a vitamin D deficiency and am taking weekly sachets for it. Do you think it's necessary to take calcium tablets with it? Any advice would be really appreciated.

I'm 39 and I've been dealing with high BP for the last 10 years. I'm on Telsite 80mg in the morning and Cinod 10mg at night, but my BP still isn't coming down. I've heard about adding Dytor Plus 5mg in the morning. Is it safe to try that, or should I consider other options?
Yes tab dytor plus can be added to reduce your BP..
