I'm experiencing some palpitations over the past few days, so I decided to get an ECG done. It showed a slight elevation in v4 and v5. Could you check things over for me? My echo came back as normal.

The presence of slight ST elevation in V4 and V5 on an ECG can sometimes indicate issues such as early repolarization or, in more serious cases, ischemia or myocardial infarction. Given your palpitations and the ECG findings, it's important to follow up with a cardiologist, even if your echocardiogram (echo) is normal. The echo provides information on the structure and function of the heart, but the ECG findings and your symptoms warrant further evaluation to rule out any acute or chronic cardiac conditions.

View allI'm curious about when to take Ecosprin AV75. I've heard it might be better to take it at night before bed, but can it be taken in the morning as well? Is there a significant difference, or does one time work better than the other? I'd love some guidance on this.
it is necessary to take the tablet at bedtime only.

I'm a 36-year-old unmarried woman with a slim build and usually pretty active, but lately due to lockdown, Ive been sitting and working a lot. Today, I decided to do some cleaning, like mopping and sweeping, and afterwards, I started having really strong palpitations and felt restless, especially around my neck where the carotid artery is. I'm still experiencing palpitations with any physical work and feel a bit breathless because of them. I don't have diabetes or thyroid issues, but after looking it up online, Im worried it might be a heart attack. My citys still in lockdown, so I cant visit a doctor, and I'm scared something serious is going on. Can you advise on what might be happening and what I should do?
It sounds like you are experiencing palpitations and restlessness after doing physical work. These symptoms can be concerning, but it is important not to jump to conclusions like a heart attack without proper evaluation. It is possible that the increased physical activity after a period of inactivity is causing these symptoms. To help alleviate your symptoms, you can try taking a rest and lying down in a comfortable position. Make sure to stay hydrated and avoid any stimulants like caffeine. If the symptoms persist or worsen, you can take a tablet of propranolol 10mg for palpitations. However, if you continue to feel unwell or if the symptoms are severe, it is important to seek medical attention. I would recommend monitoring your symptoms closely and if they continue or worsen, please seek medical help as soon as possible

For the past week I've been feeling dizzy and exhausted with occasional chest pain and frequent dizziness spells. My pulse is around 53 and I'm concerned this might be due to bradycardia. How serious is this and are there ways to treat it without needing surgery?
