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 allMy 60-year-old mom has a blockage in her main heart artery 80% blocked. We're confused about the best treatment option should we go for bypass surgery, ECP/EECP, or try those 20 injections the doctor mentioned? They say the injections can clear 50% for sure, and with walking and managing cholesterol, maybe another 30%. What would you suggest is the safest and most effective choice for her?

I'm taking Metocard XL 12.5 once daily as prescribed by my doctor. My blood pressure is currently at 11276 and my pulse is 59. Is it okay to take the medication just once a day, or should I consider twice daily?
The medication prescribed to you, Metocard XL 12.5, is typically taken once a day for the management of high blood pressure. Since your current blood pressure is within normal range (11276) and your pulse rate is 59, it seems that once daily dosing is appropriate for you. It is important to follow your doctor's instructions regarding the dosage and frequency of the medication.

I've been having some pain in my left arm and jaw, along with a toothache and feeling weak, but there's no chest pain. Could these be signs of a heart attack? I'm kind of worried and would like to understand what this might mean.
