I've been feeling this pinching kind of mild pain on the left side of my chest that lasts for like 46 seconds or so. At those moments, I can really feel my heart beating faster when I put my hand on my chest. I did talk to a cardiologist about it, and they recommended an ECG, which turned out normal. But I'm still really worried. Could these be warning signs, and should I consider getting more heart-related tests just to be on the safe side?

Given your symptoms of intermittent, mild, left-sided chest pain lasting 4-6 seconds, accompanied by an awareness of a rapid heartbeat, and a normal ECG result, your cardiologist may recommend further tests, such as a stress test, echocardiogram, or Holter monitoring, to rule out potential causes like arrhythmias, pericarditis, or cardiac anxiety, and provide reassurance, but in the meantime, pay attention to any triggers or patterns, and consider maintaining a symptom journal to discuss with your doctor.

View allI recently quit smoking after experiencing persistent chest pain that lasted for a month, though it eventually disappeared after some rest. Now, I'm feeling these sudden sharp pains in my chest that vanish as quickly as they come. I work more than 10 hours a day while sitting. Should I be concerned about these new pains?
Pulmonologist opinion is advised to the patient.

I'm having these weird experiences when I'm about to fall asleep, like when I'm in that transition phase. It's like I feel this single, really strong heartbeat that kind of moves my whole body. Its kind of freaking me out. Ive attached my ECG can you help me figure out whats going on with this?
it could be due to a premature ventricular contraction (PVC). This is when the heart's lower chambers (ventricles) contract earlier than normal, causing an extra, abnormal heartbeat. It may feel like a strong thump in your chest. Based on the ECG you provided, it confirms the presence of PVCs. To manage this condition, you can take a beta-blocker medication such as Metoprolol (25-50mg) to help regulate your heart rhythm and reduce the occurrence of PVCs. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and monitoring.
