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.

View allI've got a cholesterol overall level of 360, and I'm pretty worried about it. Can you help me figure out some ways to bring it down? I'm really looking to make some changes.

I'm a 28-year-old guy and I've been smoking weed daily since I was nine. I don't drink at all, and I consider myself to be quite fit. But for the last 34 days, I've noticed the left side of my chest is a bit swollen and sore, although it's not painful to touch. Should I be worried about this? Could it be something serious?
It's concerning that you are experiencing swelling and soreness in the left side of your chest. This could be due to various reasons, including inflammation, muscle strain, or even a potential underlying health issue. However, given your history of smoking weed since a young age, it's important to consider the impact of smoking on your respiratory and cardiovascular health. I recommend that you stop smoking immediately and seek medical attention for a proper evaluation. In the meantime, you can take over-the-counter anti-inflammatory medication like ibuprofen (e.g., Advil) to help with the pain and swelling. However, it's crucial to consult with a healthcare professional for a thorough assessment and appropriate treatment.
