I'm experiencing some heart palpitations and my pulse rate is around 90. I recently did an ECG, 2D ECO, and blood tests including the complete blood count, but everything came back normal. I'm just trying to figure out what could be causing these palpitations. Any thoughts on what might be going on?

The normal test results indicate that there may not be a serious underlying issue causing your heart palpitations. However, there are several potential reasons for experiencing heart palpitations despite normal test results. Some common causes include anxiety, stress, caffeine intake, dehydration, anemia, thyroid disorders, or certain medications. In your case, since the tests have already been done and are normal, I would recommend trying to manage stress levels, reducing caffeine intake, staying hydrated, and ensuring a balanced diet. If palpitations persist or worsen, a medication like Metoprolol (25-50mg) can be prescribed to help regulate your heart rate.

I'm really worried because my doctor said I have IRBBB on my ECG and that it's nothing to be concerned about. I'm 40 now and was fit until my early 30s. Will this affect my future life? I'm feeling really tense about it.

Having incomplete right bundle branch block (IRBBB) on your ECG is usually not a cause for concern, especially if your doctor has reassured you about it. It is often considered a benign finding. However, if you are feeling tense and anxious about it, it's important to address your concerns. To help manage your anxiety, you can consider relaxation techniques, exercise, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. If your anxiety persists, you may also speak to your doctor about it. In terms of your future life, IRBBB itself typically does not have a significant impact on your overall health or longevity. As long as you continue to follow a healthy lifestyle and attend regular check-ups with your doctor, you should be able to maintain your well-being. If you have any further concerns or symptoms, it's always best to discuss them with your healthcare provider for personalized advice and guidance.

I've been having chest pain for the past 56 days and it started with my back. I've done an ECG three times and an ECO once. My blood pressure is 14090, and I'm on Hifen Pofloxacin 400, Ecosprin 75, Amlovas 20, and a PPI as prescribed by my physician, but the pain in my chest is still there. Sometimes it even goes to my left hand. What should I do now?

Based on your symptoms and medications, it seems like you may be experiencing chest pain due to cardiac issues. Since the pain is still persistent and sometimes radiates to your left hand, it is important to seek further medical evaluation. I recommend that you consult with your physician to consider adjusting your current medication regimen. In the meantime, you can take a nitroglycerin tablet for immediate relief of chest pain. Additionally, it would be beneficial to undergo further cardiac investigations such as a stress test or coronary angiography to rule out any underlying heart conditions.
