I'm having this weird experience where I feel a pulse in my butt when I'm sitting or lying on the bed. It comes out of nowhere, and once I pay attention to it, the pulse is perfectly in sync with my heart rate. It's like it won't stop as long as I focus on it. I also have high cholesterol and sometimes feel this pulsing in my ankle and the sole of my foot. I'm honestly really confused because some doctors say it's nothing, while others online mention it might be peripheral artery disease. I'm just 21, and the thought of this possibly being something serious is making me super anxious. What should I do?

At your age (21) and with a normal heart rate and no other major symptoms, this sensation is very unlikely to be a sign of something dangerous. Its likely related to the circulation in the area. However, its always good to get checked by a healthcare professional for peace of mind. Keep monitoring your cholesterol, and dont hesitate to ask your doctor for more tests if you continue to feel uncertain.

I'm experiencing arm pain that started in my left arm, but now it's also in my right arm. I've got this weird center chest pain too. I did an ECG, echo, and some blood tests, including a thyroid test about four days ago, and everything came back normal. The doctor mentioned it might be anxiety because my heart rate was really highlike 130 bpm during the ECG and my blood pressure was 15080. I've had this fear of heart issues for months, and now the symptoms seem to have gotten worse. They gave me Betanol TR 40 to try and help. Sometimes the arm pain gets really bad, but then it goes away and comes back. It feels like pins and needles, maybe like cramps. What could this be?
It sounds like you are experiencing symptoms of anxiety and cardiophobia, which can manifest as arm pain and chest discomfort. The medication prescribed to you, Betanol TR 40, is a brand name for Propranolol. This medication can help with managing symptoms of anxiety and can also help with reducing heart rate and blood pressure. The usual dosage for Propranolol in anxiety is 20-40mg taken 2-3 times a day. It is important to follow your doctor's instructions regarding the dosage and frequency of taking the medication. If you experience worsening symptoms or have any concerns, it is important to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.
