I'm really struggling with these palpitations. Even though all my echocardiography results and other tests came back normal, I keep experiencing them out of the blue while I'm just going about my day. It's starting to worry me because I can't pin down why it's happening. Could there be something else going on that the tests didn't pick up? What should I do next?

Palpitations can be caused by various factors, including anxiety, stress, caffeine intake, or certain medications. In your case, since all tests are normal, you may consider trying a beta-blocker such as Metoprolol (25-50mg) to help manage the palpitations. It can help regulate your heart rate and reduce the intensity of palpitations. However, it's important to consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new medication.

View allI'm worried about my health since my hs-CRP is 3.60 and CRP is 4.20. Is this something I should be really concerned about and get treated right away? I had an angiogram back in December 2020, and everything came out normal then. Also, I've been dealing with high blood pressure and diabetes. Can you help me understand what these numbers mean?
Given your history of high blood pressure, diabetes, and previous angiogram, it is important to manage your CRP levels to reduce the risk of further complications. I recommend starting a statin medication like Atorvastatin 20mg daily to help lower your CRP levels and reduce inflammation in the arteries. Additionally, you should continue to manage your high blood pressure with medications like Amlodipine 5mg daily and control your diabetes with medications like Metformin 1000mg twice daily. Regular exercise, a healthy diet, and weight management are also important in managing inflammation and reducing cardiovascular risk.

I'm really worried about some ongoing chest pain I've been experiencing. After a rod hit me in the chest back in November 2015, I had a brief issue with my breathing, which seemed to get better. But then, by February 2016, I started having severe chest pain. I got checked at CMH Narayana Hrudayalaya to see if it was related to my heart, but everything came out fine. This pain keeps coming back, and it's like a muscle pull behind my rib cage. Could this be a problem with my heart or even my lungs?

Heart function is less than fifty percent, which is pretty concerning. I'm wondering how I can improve it. Is it possible to fix this with medicine alone, or would I need something like a stent or another type of treatment? Any advice would be appreciated!
i means that there is systolic dysfunction or acute angina, papillary muscle dysfunction or any heart blocks..i would suggest an angiogram procedure to the patient to look into any pathological defects..Patient is advised DASH Diet , low sodium intake, consumption of green leafy negetables,fruits and legumes etc..
