I've been dealing with these palpitations for the past three years. I've gone through all the heart-related tests like ECG and 2Decho, and everything seems to be normal. I recovered from jaundice about five years ago, and I don't smoke or drink or have insomnia. But every time I eat or lie down comfortably, I start feeling this sensation in my throat and the back of my head. My blood pressure is typically around 12585, and my pulse is usually 100. But after meals, my BP creeps up to 13590, and my pulse hits 120. Doctors have suggested I take propranolol 10mg, but it doesnt seem to help. What could be going on?

Considering your symptoms and the ineffectiveness of propranolol, you may benefit from a calcium channel blocker such as Verapamil. I recommend taking Verapamil 120mg twice daily to help control your palpitations and regulate your heart rate. Additionally, practicing stress-reducing techniques and maintaining a healthy lifestyle can also help manage your symptoms.

View allI'm a bit concerned because my ECG showed something called IRBBB, but my 2D echo results came out normal. Does this mean everything's okay with my heart, or should I be worried about any issues? Is it safe for me to continue going to the gym and doing exercises? Would appreciate your insight on whether there's anything to be concerned about.
IRBBB (Incomplete Right Bundle Branch Block) is a condition where the electrical impulses in the heart are delayed or blocked in the right bundle branch. In your case, since your 2D echo is normal, it indicates that the structure and function of your heart are normal despite the IRBBB on ECG. You can continue with your gym and exercise routine. However, it is always recommended to start with moderate intensity and gradually increase it while monitoring your symptoms. If you experience any chest pain, palpitations, dizziness, or shortness of breath during exercise, stop immediately and consult a healthcare professional. No specific medication is required for IRBBB if there are no other underlying heart conditions.

I've been having these chest pains that come and gosometimes they're just a few seconds, other times they last for a few hours. It's mostly around the left side of my chest, but I don't have any trouble breathing, even after running, and there's no pain spreading to my neck or shoulder. I've been trying Pantoprazole for a while, but it hasn't really helped. What could be going on? Any advice would be appreciated.
"Chest pain on the left side that lasts for a few seconds to a few hours and no breathing issues after running could be due to musculoskeletal pain, anxiety, or even heart-related issues. Since Pantoprazole has not been effective, I recommend trying over-the-counter pain relievers like Acetaminophen at a dose of 500mg to 1000mg every 4-6 hours as needed for pain. Additionally, you can try a muscle relaxant like Cyclobenzaprine at a dose of 5mg to 10mg three times a day. If the pain persists or worsens, it is important to seek further evaluation from a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and management."

I've been feeling this weird fluttering sensation in the middle of my chest, and it's really bothering me. It seems to hit me especially hard after I eat or when I've been doing some work, and it makes it tough to breathe. I also get this faint feeling that I can't shake off. I'm not coughing exactly, though there are times when I feel like I might start. On top of that, my back has been aching, and it's hard to stand upright. What could be causing all of this?
