I've been experiencing this really strong heartbeat almost every day, and it's not like palpitations. It happens for no reason, even when I'm just sitting or trying to relax. It's so intense that, for a second, it feels like my heart has stopped. It's really uncomfortable, and I'm not sure what's going on. Could there be a reason for this?

View allI'm traveling right now, and I'm a bit worried because my pulse rate is over 90. I've already taken Kipnor TR 40 and Etilaam 0.25. Is this normal for when you're active, or should I be concerned?
The normal pulse rate when you are active can vary depending on individual factors, but typically ranges from 100 to 170 beats per minute. Kipno tr 40 is a brand name for Metoprolol, which is a beta-blocker used to treat high blood pressure and chest pain. Etilaam 0.25 is a brand name for Etizolam, which is a benzodiazepine used to treat anxiety and sleep disorders. Since your pulse rate is above 90 after taking these medications, it is important to monitor your heart rate closely. If your pulse rate remains elevated or if you experience any concerning symptoms, please seek medical attention promptly.

I'm trying to figure out what's going on with this persistent chest pain. I did a TMT on May 25 as advised by my doctor, and it turned out negative, but the pain in the middle of my chest just won't go away. I dont smoke or drink and there's no family history of heart disease. I've been dealing with asthma for the last two years. The pain doesn't increase when I walk or run, but it's really starting to make me anxious and it's even affecting my sleep. What can I do to alleviate this pain?
As per your description, it seems like you are experiencing chest pain despite a negative TMT result. Since you have a history of asthma and the pain is not worsening with physical activity, it may not be directly related to your heart. To help alleviate the chest pain and manage your anxiety, you can take over-the-counter pain relief medication like paracetamol (e.g., Tylenol) at a dose of 500mg to 1000mg every 4-6 hours as needed. Additionally, you can try using a heating pad on the area of discomfort and practice relaxation techniques such as deep breathing exercises or meditation to help with your anxiety and improve sleep. If the chest pain persists or worsens, it is important to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.

I've been keeping an eye on my triglycerides levels, which are currently at 230, and my HDL is at 28. We usually cook with mustard oil at home. I've heard some conflicting info about it building up triglycerides around the heart. Is mustard oil actually heart-friendly, or should I be considering other options for cooking? I'm really hoping for some guidance on this.
Mustard oil is not recommended for individuals with high triglyceride levels as it may contribute to an increase in triglycerides. It is advisable to switch to healthier cooking oils such as olive oil or canola oil, which are beneficial for heart health. Additionally, incorporating foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids like fatty fish, flaxseeds, and walnuts can help improve your lipid profile.
