View allI'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?

I've had some tests done like ECG, 2D Echo, and a thyroid test, and they all came back normal. But still, my pulse rate sometimes jumps to like 120 or 140 and then goes back to normal after a bit. I tried beta blockers for about 4 months, but it didnt really help, so my doctor told me not to worry and said it's normal for me. I've stopped taking the meds now. Should I really not be concerned about these spikes in my pulse rate?
It sounds like you have been experiencing episodes of high pulse rate despite normal results on your ECG, 2D echo, and thyroid tests. Since beta blockers did not effectively control your pulse rate, you may benefit from a calcium channel blocker such as Amlodipine. The usual starting dose for Amlodipine is 5 mg once daily, which can be adjusted based on your response. It is important to monitor your pulse rate regularly and report any persistent high readings to your doctor.

I'm dealing with chronic anemia and have been experiencing shortness of breath, and chest pain too. I got an ECG done, and it showed something called STT depression. Can you explain what that is and how worried I should be about it?
ST-T depression on an ECG can indicate myocardial ischemia, which means there may be reduced blood flow to the heart muscle. This can be serious as it may lead to a heart attack if not addressed. To help improve blood flow and manage your symptoms, you can take Aspirin 75mg once daily to prevent blood clot formation and improve blood flow to the heart. Additionally, you can take Ferrous Sulfate 325mg twice daily to help with your chronic Anemia. Remember to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
