I've been experiencing this odd sensation lately where my heart feels like it's beating right in the middle of my chest, and sometimes it even feels like it's hitting my throat. It usually lasts just a few seconds and then goes away. Should I be worried about this? Is it a sign of something serious?

This sensation could be due to heart palpitations, which are often harmless but can sometimes be a sign of an underlying heart condition. To help manage these symptoms, you can try taking a beta-blocker medication such as Metoprolol (25-50mg) as needed to help regulate your heart rate and reduce palpitations. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and management.

View allI recently did some heart tests because I was experiencing pain in my left arm. My doctor mentioned it was muscular pain. My ECG didn't come out normal, but the TMT and 2D echo were fine. I'm really confused about whether it's okay to do strength training at the gym. I've attached my reports. Can you check them out and let me know what you think?
based on the reports you have provided, it's good to hear that your TMT and 2D echo results are normal, despite the abnormal ECG. Since your doctor has mentioned that the left arm pain is muscular in nature, it is generally safe to engage in strength training at the gym. However, it is important to start slowly and gradually increase the intensity to avoid any strain on the muscles. You can start with light weights and focus on proper form and technique. Additionally, it would be beneficial to consult with a fitness trainer at the gym to create a suitable workout plan that aligns with your health status. Remember to listen to your body and stop any exercise that causes discomfort or pain.

My mom's having some trouble with hypertension. Her systolic measurement sometimes hits 123, and the diastolic is around 95 and even reaches 98 occasionally. I'm really concerned about why her blood pressure isn't considered normal or stable, especially when it sometimes goes up to 140 over 102. What could be causing these fluctuations?
Your mother might be showing early signs of developing systemic hypertension. Regular monitoring of her blood pressure will confirm the diagnosis, and she can be consequently started on a anti-hypertensive regimen of medication. Lifestyle modifications with dietary changes may be necessary for maintaining a healthy blood pressure. It is best to consult a physician who will monitor her progress over a long period of time.
