I'm trying to understand what a slightly depressed ST segment means and whether it can be treated. How serious is it? My mom's been feeling dizzy and having headaches latelycould that be related?

View allI'm experiencing this really rapid heart rate every time I'm about to sleep. I have a 10-day-old infant who wakes up for feedings at night, and when I get up suddenly, my heart races like crazy. I also feel this burning sensation and shortness of breath, almost like I'm missing a heartbeat. There's a bit of pain too. When I left the hospital, my blood pressure was high at 140100, but now it's around 13080 without any BP medication. I'm really worried if it's something serious with my heart or just palpitations. Could this be something I should be concerned about?
Based on your symptoms, it sounds like you may be experiencing palpitations due to stress and anxiety, especially with the added stress of taking care of a newborn. To help manage your symptoms, you can try taking propranolol 10mg twice daily to help with the rapid heart rate and palpitations. Additionally, you can consider taking lorazepam 0.5mg at bedtime to help with anxiety and improve sleep quality. It's important to practice relaxation techniques and ensure you are getting enough rest to support your overall heart health. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation.

Sometimes I get this feeling of tiredness and shortness of breath that usually lasts for a few days. I've been experiencing it on and off for the past couple of years, but there are no other symptoms accompanying it. Im a 34-year-old male, and Ive had my ECG, echo, and lipid profile checked, and everything came back normal. Could there still be a chance of a heart issue, and is there any other test I should consider?
There may still be a possibility of underlying cardiac issues. To further investigate, you can consider undergoing a stress test (TMT - Treadmill Test) to assess your heart's response to physical activity and detect any abnormalities that may not be present at rest. Additionally, a Holter monitor can be used to monitor your heart's activity over a 24-48 hour period to capture any irregularities that may not show up during a standard ECG. These tests can provide more insights into your cardiac health beyond the initial screening tests you have already done.

I've been noticing that my heartbeat is a real problem for me. I get stressed really easily, and then I just find myself getting angry. Is there something I can do about this? Can stress and anger actually affect my heart rate like this? Any insights would be greatly appreciated.
ecg and cardiac markers are advised
