I'm feeling this weird heaviness in my chest, and I don't really have any other symptoms, but my heart's racing and I can actually hear it beating really fast. Could you help me figure out what's going on? I'm just really nervous about it.

View allI've been experiencing this weird irregular and thumping heartbeat but there's no chest pain. It's just this uncomfortable feeling in my chest, especially when I drink water or eat. It makes it hard to take a deep breath. I went to the doctor and they suggested an ECG, which came out normal. It went away for a couple of days but now it's back again. What could be causing this?
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of palpitations and difficulty breathing. These symptoms can be caused by various factors such as anxiety, dehydration, caffeine intake, or underlying heart conditions like arrhythmias. Since your ECG results were normal, it is important to rule out other possible causes. I recommend you to try to stay hydrated, avoid excessive caffeine intake, and manage stress levels. Additionally, you can take a beta-blocker like Metoprolol 25mg once daily to help regulate your heartbeat and reduce palpitations. If symptoms persist or worsen, further evaluation by a cardiologist may be necessary.

I'm wondering about my QTc interval, which was 454ms on the EKG. Is this considered normal? I also have sinus arrhythmia and had a panic attack before but during that time, both the EKG and echocardiogram came out normal. Should I be worried about this, and is there anything specific I should do or ask my doctor?
Your QTc interval of 454ms is slightly prolonged, which may be related to your sinus arrhythmia. Since you have a history of panic attacks, it's important to monitor your QTc interval regularly. In this case, it would be advisable to avoid medications that can further prolong the QTc interval. I recommend discussing this with your healthcare provider to determine the best course of action.
