Ive been experiencing this weird sensation in my chest where it feels like its shaking. It seems to come and go, lasting anywhere from around 2 to 3 minutes, and then comes back again. What could this possibly be, and should I be worried about it?

It sounds like you may be experiencing palpitations. Palpitations are sensations of a rapid, fluttering, or pounding heart. In some cases, they may be harmless, but it's important to get evaluated by a healthcare provider to determine the underlying cause. In the meantime, you can try to reduce caffeine and stress in your daily routine. If the symptoms persist or worsen, you may consider taking a beta-blocker medication like Metoprolol (25-50mg) to help manage the palpitations.

I'm a bit worried because my doctor mentioned that I have an irregular heartbeat. Is this something normal or should I be concerned about it? Can you tell me if this might cause any problems?
An irregular heartbeat, also known as arrhythmia, can be normal and harmless in some cases, but it can also indicate an underlying condition, such as atrial fibrillation, heart valve problems, or electrolyte imbalances; consult your doctor to determine the cause and appropriate treatment, as some arrhythmias can increase the risk of stroke, heart failure, or other complications.
