I'm really confused because my Echo and ECG tests came back normal, but I'm still experiencing these palpitations. I'm a GERD patient, and whenever these palpitations hit, I get really nervous. What could be causing this, and is there anything I should be doing or looking out for?

Palpitations despite normal Echo and ECG in a GERD patient could be due to acid reflux irritating the vagus nerve, leading to palpitations. In such cases, managing GERD effectively can help reduce palpitations. You can try taking Omeprazole 20mg once daily before breakfast for GERD.

View allI'm a 27-year-old female and my heart rate seems unusually high, usually over 100, sometimes even reaching 130 beats per minute, even when I'm resting. All my tests, like Spo2, ESR, vitamin levels, thyroid, lipid, and many more have come back normal, including the NT-proBNP. But I just can't shake off this feeling of worry about my heart. The doctors didn't seem to focus much on the heartbeats, though, and asked me to get an MRI spine for my pain. I often experience upper back pain, a heavy feeling in my head, shortness of breath, and sometimes pain in my left breast and shoulder blade. It's less when I'm in bed but gets severe when I'm sitting or working. With my heart rate always on the high side at my age, is this something to be concerned about? Also, why did my doctor order an MRI and not more heart-related tests?
While your symptoms are concerning, its reassuring that you've had normal cardiac markers and blood work, which likely rules out serious heart conditions. However, continued monitoring and further tests will help you get to the root cause.

I'm having this chest pain since the afternoon and it's really close to my heart. The pain isn't going away and I'm a bit worried it might be a heart attack. Could you give me some advice on what to do?
Chest pain can be a serious symptom and should not be ignored. If you are experiencing continuous chest pain near your heart, it is important to seek medical attention immediately. In the meantime, you can take Aspirin 325mg to help reduce the risk of a potential heart attack. Please consult with a healthcare professional as soon as possible for a proper evaluation and treatment plan.

I've been dealing with hypertension for the past two years, and after taking medication, my blood pressure is finally normal. But now my ECG shows a nonspecific T-wave abnormality. Should I be worried about this? My local doctor mentioned it's normal, but I'm still a bit anxious about what it could mean.
it means the report is NORMAL .
