I'm feeling really anxious because I experienced this sharp pain in my left chest that lasted for about 5-10 seconds. Along with that, there's this heaviness in my chest that's been bothering me. I just got my ECG results, and it mentioned an 800 sinus rhythm and a 401 short PR interval. Could you help me understand what these results might mean? Should I be worried about this?

While the sinus rhythm on your ECG is normal, the short PR interval requires further investigation to determine the underlying cause. The symptoms of chest pain and heaviness are concerning and should be evaluated by a healthcare provider right away. Please do not delay in seeking medical attention to ensure that any potential issues, including heart-related conditions, are addressed promptly.

I've been feeling something a bit strange lately whenever I lie down, especially on my side or stomach, I can actually feel my heart beating. And when I press my ear to the pillow, I can hear it clearly in my ears. Ive already had an ECG, echo, and thyroid tests, and everything came back normal. My blood pressure and heartbeat are normal too. I dont have any other symptoms, so Im wondering what this could be or if it's something I should be worried about. What should I do next?

u don't worry nothing will happen
