I've been feeling a strange vibration in my chest after running and sometimes while I'm running. Its kind of weird and Im a bit worried. Two years back, my TMT, echo, and ECG came out normal, and I even had a CT angiogram a year ago, which was fine. My Holter monitor results were okay too. What could be causing this sensation, and should I be concerned about something else going on?

It sounds like you may be experiencing palpitations or a sensation of vibration in your chest during or after running. Since your TMT, echo, ECG, CT angiogram, and Holter monitor have been normal in the past, it is less likely to be related to any structural or electrical heart issues. One possible cause could be related to increased sympathetic activity during exercise. It is important to stay hydrated and ensure you are not overexerting yourself during physical activity. If the symptoms persist or worsen, you may consider discussing with your doctor about trying a beta-blocker medication such as Metoprolol (dosage can vary) to help control heart rate and palpitations during exercise.

I've been having this really intense chest pain whenever I'm sleeping or after sitting down for a long time. It's weird because it never happens when I'm walking around. The pain doesn't spread to my jaw or arms, and I'm not experiencing any breathlessness, but my digestion isn't right either. This has been going on for about a month now, but only occasionally. Could you give me some advice on what's going on or what I should do?

Ecg and x-ray chest pa view and cardiac markers is advised to the patient.

I've been experiencing some chest pain for about a week now. It moves around a bitsometimes it's on the left side, sometimes the right, and occasionally I feel it in my back too. I'm really worried it might be something to do with my heart since I'm 31 and a bit on the heavier side. Should I be concerned about this?

Chest pain can have various causes, including heart-related issues. However, since your pain is on both sides of the chest and also on your back, it may not be directly related to the heart. It is important to rule out other potential causes such as muscle strain or gastrointestinal issues. You can take over-the-counter pain relief medication like Acetaminophen (Tylenol) 500mg every 6 hours as needed for pain. However, it is crucial to consult a healthcare professional for a proper evaluation and diagnosis.

I'm really worried about my heart. This morning, I had these palpitations and ended up going to the ER. They ran an ECG and did an echo, which came back normal, but the doctor suggested an ablation. I keep having palpitations even when I'm just climbing the stairs, and now I'm on these Dilzem tablets. Sometimes it feels like my heart actually stops and then starts again. Should I be concerned about this? Is there something serious going on?

It sounds like you are experiencing palpitations and irregular heartbeats. The medication prescribed to you, Dilzem tablet, contains the active ingredient Diltiazem. This medication is a calcium channel blocker that helps to regulate your heart rate and rhythm. The usual dosage for Dilzem in such cases is 120-360 mg per day, divided into 3-4 doses. Feeling like your heart stops and then starts can be concerning, and it is important to follow up with your doctor about this symptom. It could be related to the underlying heart condition that is causing your palpitations. If you continue to experience this sensation, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly for further evaluation and management.
