I'm feeling this strange beating sensation on the left side of my chest, close to my heart. What could be causing this?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
The sensation you are experiencing could be due to palpitations. Palpitations are feelings that your heart is skipping a beat, fluttering, or beating too hard or too fast. In this case, it is important to consult a doctor for further evaluation. However, if the palpitations are occasional and not associated with any other symptoms, you can try over-the-counter medication like Propranolol at a dose of 10-40mg as needed to help reduce the sensation. Remember to follow the recommended dosage instructions on the package

View allI'm dealing with this chest pain that's right in the middle of my chest, and its been going on for the last two months. Sometimes its regular, sometimes its not. It gets really painful when I bend to pick something up from the ground, and the pain even shoots to my back. Can you help me out? What might be causing this?
Based on your symptoms, it is important to rule out any underlying heart condition. However, considering the pain worsening with movement, it could be musculoskeletal in nature. You can try taking Acetaminophen (Tylenol) 500mg every 6 hours as needed for pain relief. Additionally, you can apply a topical pain relief gel like Diclofenac (Voltaren) gel on the affected area. It is also advisable to avoid heavy lifting or strenuous activities that worsen the pain. If the pain persists or worsens, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I'm a 17-year-old guy and for the past three months, I've been having really frequent heart palpitations, like 4 to 5 times a day, sometimes even 6 or 7. It's just that feeling of my heart skipping a beat for a couple of seconds before it goes back to normal. It happens all of a sudden and I'm wondering if this could mean there's some heart disease going on. My resting pulse is 104. Also, I've noticed my hair has started thinning a bit. Could there be some link between the palpitations and things like nutritional deficiencies or low blood count?
It is important to investigate the cause of your frequent heart palpitations and elevated resting pulse rate. One possible connection between your symptoms of heart palpitations and hair thinning could be an underlying thyroid issue. I recommend consulting with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and testing. In the meantime, you can consider taking **Propranolol 10mg** for symptomatic relief of palpitations. However, this is not a definitive treatment and a proper diagnosis is necessary.
