I've been feeling this odd sensation when I'm sitting down, like there's a push and pull throughout my body matched with my heartbeat. It's like my heart is beating at a normal pace but with a lot of force. I can also see my heartbeat in my stomach area. Plus, I've been having some discomfort in my chest. Both my echo and TMT came back normal, so I'm kind of confused about what's going on. What might be causing this, and what type of doctor should I talk to about it?

View allI'm really worried about this LAD thing showing up on my ECG. I don't have any symptoms, and my echo came back normal, so I'm confused about why it's happening. Should I be concerned about how this might impact my life span?
if your ECG shows LAD (Left Anterior Descending) without any symptoms and your echo is normal, it may not necessarily indicate a serious issue. LAD is a coronary artery that supplies blood to the front part of the heart. In some cases, an ECG may show variations that are not clinically significant. However, it is important to monitor your heart health regularly. To ensure your heart health and longevity, you can consider taking low-dose aspirin (75-100mg) daily to prevent clot formation in the arteries. Additionally, you can discuss with your doctor about starting a statin medication like atorvastatin (10-20mg) to control cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease. Regular exercise, a healthy diet, and avoiding smoking are also important for maintaining a healthy heart. If you have any concerns or experience any symptoms in the future, please consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm really worried about some health stuff. I recently took a test that showed mild PAH, and I'm wondering if that's something I need to be concerned about. Ever since I moved to India from Australia, my anxiety has gotten really bad. I've had a pulse of 134 a few times, especially during the lockdown and just yesterday because I was so tense. I'm 33, 4 ft 8 in, and weigh 44 kilos. I eat really healthily, avoiding processed foods and carbs. Should I be worried about these things or am I overthinking it?
Mild pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) can be a cause for concern, but its impact varies depending on the underlying cause and overall health. Elevated heart rates during periods of tension and anxiety are not uncommon and can exacerbate feelings of discomfort. Given your history of anxiety, its important to manage stress effectively and monitor your heart health. Since you have a history of mild PAH and experience significant anxiety, it would be beneficial to discuss this with your cardiologist and possibly a mental health professional. They can help monitor your condition and provide strategies to manage anxiety, which can, in turn, help stabilize your heart rate. Techniques such as mindfulness, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), or medication might be recommended.

I'm experiencing heart palpitations and my heart beats faster sometimes along with chest discomfort, all this in the past six months or so. I've had an ECG, echo, and TMT and they all came back normal. My blood pressure at home is usually below 12085, but when I go to the doctor's office, it shoots up to 13090 and sometimes even 150100. Should I be worried about this difference in blood pressure readings, and could it be linked to the palpitations I'm feeling?
Since six months some time feel heart palpitation and beat faster and chest discomfort. I have done ecg echo tmt everything normal. Bp also below 12085 at home But doctor clinic always 13090 some time 150100. It sounds like you may be experiencing episodes of palpitations and chest discomfort despite normal results on your ECG, echo, and TMT tests. Your blood pressure readings are also slightly elevated at the doctor's clinic. In such cases, your symptoms may be related to anxiety or stress. I recommend trying a beta-blocker medication such as Metoprolol (dosage: 25-50mg once daily) to help with the palpitations and chest discomfort. Additionally, practicing stress-reducing techniques such as deep breathing exercises or yoga may also be beneficial.
