I'm really thin and I've noticed that I'm very aware of my heartbeat. I can even see the muscle on the left side of my chest moving with it. I've done a Holter, ECG, and ECHO, and they all came back normal. Should I be concerned about this?

It's understandable to be concerned when you notice your heartbeat so clearly, especially when you're thin and can see the muscle movement on your chest. Since your Holter monitor, ECG, and echocardiogram (ECHO) all came back normal, this is reassuring and suggests that your heart is functioning well.
Key points to consider:
-
Visibility of Heartbeat:
- Being thin can make your heartbeat more visible and palpable, which is often normal.
-
Palpitations:
- Awareness of your heartbeat can sometimes be heightened by anxiety or stress.
-
When to Seek Medical Advice:
- If you experience symptoms like dizziness, chest pain, shortness of breath, or fainting, seek medical advice promptly.
-
Regular Monitoring:
- Continue regular check-ups as advised by your doctor to monitor your heart health.
If you remain worried or notice new symptoms, discussing this with a cardiologist or your primary care physician can provide further reassurance and guidance. For now, your normal test results are a positive sign that there is no underlying heart problem.

View allI'm trying to understand something about ECG readings. In a normal person, when you look at the R wave in the V3 and V4 chest leads, is it due to major ventricular depolarization or septal depolarization? I could really use some help figuring this out.
In a normal person, the R wave in V3 and V4 chest leads is primarily due to major ventricular depolarization. This is a normal electrical activity of the heart during the cardiac cycle.

I'm really worried about how sudden anxiety and a spike in blood pressure after getting some shocking news could cause a heart attack. Is this something that can actually happen, and how would I know if it's a real risk for me or someone I care about?
Sudden anxiety and high blood pressure can potentially increase the risk of acute cardiac events, including cardiac arrest. It is important to manage anxiety and blood pressure to reduce this risk. In such situations, medications like Atenolol can be used to control blood pressure and anxiety. The typical dosage of Atenolol for high blood pressure is 25-100 mg per day, as prescribed by a doctor.

I've recently been switched from Telma 40 to Cardivas 3.25, and I'm a bit unsure about the dosage. Is Cardivas 3.25 a lower dose compared to Telma 40, or are they about the same? Would you be able to clarify this for me?
cardiva is advised for heart disease and telma is for BP medications..
