I'm having these weird palpitations and transient jerks in my chest that last for a couple of seconds. They seem to happen randomly, and it's really unsettling because it feels like my heart stops during those moments. I exercise regularly and don't feel any chest pain, which is odd. My ECG, 2D ECHO, and HOLTER ECG came back normal, so now I'm left wondering. Could I have some kind of cardiac blockage? Are these jerks something I should worry about, like signs of a potential cardiac arrest or another serious heart issue? If it's none of those, what could possibly be causing these sensations?

Based on your normal ECG, 2D ECHO, and HOLTER ECG reports, it's unlikely that you have cardiac blockage or are at risk of cardiac arrest; the transient jerks and palpitations could be caused by benign conditions such as premature atrial contractions (PACs), premature ventricular contractions (PVCs), anxiety, stress, caffeine, or dehydration; to better understand the cause, consider consulting a cardiologist for further evaluation,

View allI'm a bit worried after getting some tests done. I had an ECG yesterday due to some mild chest pain, and it showed abnormal inferolateral ischemia. Then I went through a TMT, and it came out borderline positive for inducible myocardial ischemia at 10.1 Mts. Can you help me understand what all of this means? Is it something I need to be really concerned about?
Based on the findings of infrolateral ischemia on the ECG and borderline positive result on the TMT for myocardial ischemia, I recommend starting treatment with Aspirin 75mg once daily to prevent blood clot formation and reduce the risk of heart attack. Additionally, you can take Atorvastatin 20mg once daily to lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of further heart issues. It is important to follow up with a cardiologist for further evaluation and management.

So, I'm curious about why we need to take blood pressure meds like Coversyl indefinitely. What's the medical reason behind this? Why can't high blood pressure be treated permanently?

My mom had an angioplasty about 36 hours ago with two stents placed because her artery was fully blocked. Now she's in the ICU and her heart rate is pretty high, like around 152 bpm, and it's averaging about 125 bpm. Plus, she's had low blood pressure a few times. Is this something we should be worried about? Could these be signs of any complications? Would really appreciate your advice.
The low blood pressure could be a result of reduced heart function or other factors. To address the high heart rate, a beta-blocker medication like Metoprolol can be prescribed to help lower the heart rate. It is important to consult a cardiologist to assess her cardiac function in detail.
