I'm really concerned about my heart, as I've had a PTCA stent placed to my right coronary artery and right internal artery. But lately, I've been experiencing some wet palpitations now and again. I have Type 2 diabetes and hypertension and I'm 56 years old. Should I be worried about these palpitations, or is this somewhat normal for someone in my situation? What should I do about it?

View allI've been having this sharp pain at the bottom of my chest and when I talked to a doctor about it, they mentioned it might be due to gas. They advised getting an ECG, which I did, and I've attached the results here. I smoke about 3 to 4 cigarettes a day and have been eating out quite a bit recently because of work travel. I'm 75kgs and 5 feet 7 inches tall. What should I do next?
The sharp pain in the bottom of your chest could be due to gastritis caused by excess gas. Based on your ECG report, there are no significant abnormalities detected. However, smoking and consuming hotel food frequently can exacerbate your symptoms. To alleviate the gas and chest pain, you can take an over-the-counter antacid like **Ranitidine** 150mg twice daily before meals. Additionally, you should try to quit smoking or at least reduce the number of cigarettes per day. It is also advisable to avoid spicy and oily foods, and opt for a more balanced diet with plenty of fruits and vegetables. Regular exercise and maintaining a healthy weight can also help improve your symptoms.

I've been noticing that my heart starts beating really fast sometimes, especially when I'm going up the stairs, and it makes me feel pretty anxious. Could you suggest some tests to figure out what's going on?
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of a heart condition. I recommend you get the following tests done to evaluate your heart health: 1. Electrocardiogram (ECG) to check the electrical activity of your heart. 2. Echocardiogram to assess the structure and function of your heart. 3. Stress test to evaluate how your heart responds to physical activity. 4. Holter monitor to record your heart's activity over a period of time. 5. Blood tests to check for any abnormalities in your heart enzymes or hormones. These tests will help determine the cause of your symptoms and guide further treatment.

It started happening once a week a couple of weeks ago, but now it's happening every day. I'm really worried because I can't seem to find any doctor or treatment for it. Could you give me some advice on what I should do or where I might find help?
It's crucial to consult with a healthcare professional to determine the underlying cause of your symptoms and to receive a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.
