I'm experiencing this tingling sensation in the center of my chest every other day. There's no pain, but it feels like something is crawling there. Can you tell me what might be causing this and if I should be concerned?

View allI'm really worried because my tests showed I have a 22mm ASD and a Right bundle branch block. The doctors are recommending surgery, and I'm not sure how risky that is. Is the operation absolutely necessary? If it is, can you suggest where might be the best place for this surgery, and any idea how much it might cost?

I'm currently taking metoprolol 50mg every day, and I've been on it for the past three years. I have mitral stenosis and am starting to get concerned about any long-term side effects tied to metoprolol. Could you please let me know what I should keep an eye out for?
taking metoprolol 50mg for 3 years with mitral stenosis can have some long-term side effects. Some common side effects of long-term metoprolol use include fatigue, dizziness, slow heart rate, and cold hands or feet. In some cases, it can also lead to worsening of heart failure symptoms. It is important to monitor your blood pressure and heart rate regularly while taking metoprolol. If you experience any new or worsening symptoms, please consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation

I'm feeling pretty anxious because I've had this heavy feeling in my chest since yesterday. I went for an ECG and it showed Tall T waves. Is this something I should be really worried about? I'm attaching my ECGs, and the second one was done an hour after the first. Could this possibly be hyperkalemia because I had a couple of coconut waters and eggs? Would appreciate any clarity on this.
Tall T waves in an ECG can be a sign of hyperkalemia, which is high potassium levels in the blood. It can be life-threatening if not treated promptly. To lower your potassium levels, you can take medications like Kayexalate to help remove excess potassium from your body. The usual dosage is 15-60 grams orally 1-4 times a day. Additionally, you should avoid high potassium foods like coconut water and bananas. It is important to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.
