I'm experiencing heart palpitations for the past nine months and have been feeling uneasiness on the left side of my rib cage for the last 34 days. Almost every day, I get this sudden, strong or late heartbeat sensation that really stuns me when it happens. It's making me quite uncomfortable. What might be causing this?

I'm really concerned because I have a history of minoxidil poisoning and now I'm experiencing chest pain even when I'm just resting. I also feel like my heart starts beating really fast out of nowhere, like palpitations. I don't have a smoking history, so I'm not sure what's causing this. Could this be related to the past poisoning, or should I be worried about something else?

Getting chest pain while resting and palpitations like symptoms can be concerning. It is important to seek medical attention immediately. In the meantime, you can take aspirin 325mg for chest pain as it can help with heart-related issues. Please do not delay in seeking medical help.

I'm trying to make sense of some health concerns and could use a bit of guidance. I recently had an abnormal ECG that showed RBBB with sinus tachycardia, and my CT angiogram revealed 0 calcium deposits. But I'm still feeling some discomfort in my chest and experiencing breathlessness. Could I still have some kind of heart problem even with these results?

1) Despite the absence of calcium deposits on the CT angiogram, it is still possible to have a cardiovascular issue. Given your symptoms and abnormal ECG findings, further evaluation is necessary. I recommend starting treatment with a beta-blocker like Metoprolol (25-50mg) to help with the sinus tachycardia and chest discomfort. 2) The chest discomfort and breathlessness you are experiencing may be related to your cardiac condition. In addition to the beta-blocker, you can also take Aspirin (81mg) daily to reduce the risk of cardiovascular events. However, it is important to follow up with a cardiologist for a comprehensive assessment and management plan.
