I'm really concerned because I had COVID about three months ago, and although Im better now, my chest still feels pretty heavy sometimes. At the beginning, my left hand felt numb, and I had palpitations, so I took Corbis 2.5 for about 10 days. The palpitations seem to be okay now, but the heaviness in my chest is still there, especially if I try to work out or lift heavy things. The intensity has decreased a bit, but it's still noticeable. I've had a bunch of tests like ECG, ECHO, D-dimer, CKMB, TNI, BNP, MYO, a chest X-ray, and PFT, all of which came back normal. Lately, Ive noticed that if I press on my chest, I hear a crackling sound like when you crack your knuckles. What could be causing this and what should I do about it?

View allI've noticed my resting heart rate has been between 48 to 56 for the past 8 months. Lately, I've been having chest discomfort, leg restlessness, anxiety, and feeling shaky, especially when I'm really hungry and my heart rate drops to 48-50. I've had ECG, echo tests, and more about 6 months and a year ago, and they were all normal, but they did mention sinus arrhythmia with sinus bradycardia. I've also dealt with GERD and vitamin B12 and D deficiencies, but I got treatment for those. I'm just not sure what's going on and why these symptoms are happening now. What should I do?
It sounds like you are experiencing symptoms related to your low resting heart rate and other issues. Since your previous tests have come back normal, it is important to address the symptoms you are currently facing. Based on your description, it is advisable to consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management. In the meantime, you can try taking over-the-counter iron supplements to address any potential iron deficiency related to your symptoms. Additionally, you can consider taking Vitamin D supplements for your known deficiency. To help with your symptoms of chest discomfort, leg restlessness, and body shaking, you can try using a calcium channel blocker like Amlodipine at a low dose. This can help regulate your heart rate and improve blood flow. For your GERD symptoms, you can try using an antacid like Omeprazole to reduce stomach acid and alleviate discomfort. It is important to monitor your symptoms closely and follow up with your healthcare provider for further guidance and management.

I've been noticing this strange sensation in my chest. It's not painful, more like a tender or weird feeling. My heart's fine as far as I know, but I'm not sure what's going on. Could it be something else in the chest area? It's starting to worry me a bit. Any idea what this could be?
Given your young age and lack of cardiac symptoms, it is most probably case of heartburn, or acute gastritis. Try to avoid hot, spicy and acidic foods for a few days, opt for a blander softer and blander diet. Avoid smoking if you are a smoker, and increase green leafy vegetables in your diet. You can take pantoprazole + domperidone capsules (Pan-D capsules) for a few days to help you with your heartburn. Drink plenty of water and stretch your muscles regularly.

I'm experiencing heart palpitations and dizziness, even though my heart test results came back normal. I'm really concerned about these symptoms and wonder what could be causing them. Could it be something other than a heart issue?
