I'm really puzzled because my ECG and echo results came back normal according to the doctor, but I'm still experiencing chest pain and sometimes pain in my left hand. I've attached my ECG report here. What might be causing these symptoms if all the tests show nothing wrong?

View allI'm having these weird experiences when I'm about to fall asleep, like when I'm in that transition phase. It's like I feel this single, really strong heartbeat that kind of moves my whole body. Its kind of freaking me out. Ive attached my ECG can you help me figure out whats going on with this?
it could be due to a premature ventricular contraction (PVC). This is when the heart's lower chambers (ventricles) contract earlier than normal, causing an extra, abnormal heartbeat. It may feel like a strong thump in your chest. Based on the ECG you provided, it confirms the presence of PVCs. To manage this condition, you can take a beta-blocker medication such as Metoprolol (25-50mg) to help regulate your heart rhythm and reduce the occurrence of PVCs. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and monitoring.

I'm having trouble with a high heart rate. Sometimes it spikes over 100, and if I walk for just 5 minutes, it quickly jumps to around 120-130. Doing even a little bit of exercise can push it to 150. I've already had a 2D echo and TMT, but my doctor said everything looks normal. I'm really confused about what's causing this and wondering if there are other tests that might help diagnose the issue. How can I prevent these spikes from happening?
Given that your 2D echo and TMT results are normal, the elevated heart rate could be due to factors such as anxiety, deconditioning, thyroid issues, or other non-cardiac causes. It might be helpful to check your thyroid function with blood tests like TSH, Free T4, and Free T3, as hyperthyroidism can elevate heart rate. Monitoring for conditions like anemia with a complete blood count (CBC) and checking electrolyte levels might also be beneficial. To manage and prevent a high heart rate, consider stress-reduction techniques like mindfulness or yoga, ensure adequate hydration, and gradually increase your physical activity to improve cardiovascular fitness. Consult your healthcare provider to discuss these potential tests and management strategies further.
