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 noticed my pulse has been over 100, around 115, for the past two days. Is this something I should be worried about? What could be causing this, and how can I get back to a normal pulse rate?

A pulse rate of over 100 beats per minute is considered to be higher than normal (tachycardia). There are several possible causes for this, including stress, anxiety, dehydration, fever, anemia, thyroid issues, or certain medications. It is important to monitor your pulse rate and consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation. In the meantime, you can try to relax, stay hydrated, and avoid stimulants like caffeine. If the high pulse rate persists or if you experience any other concerning symptoms, please seek medical advice promptly.

I'm really worried because my homocysteine level is 93. Is that really dangerous? I also have MVP with moderate MR. I'm relieved that my white and red blood cells are at normal levels. Should I be concerned about the high homocysteine given my condition?

Hi, based on your homocysteine level of 93, it is considered high. Elevated homocysteine levels are associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases. To lower your homocysteine levels, you can take folic acid, vitamin B6, and vitamin B12 supplements. I recommend taking a combination of medications such as Foltx (folic acid 1 mg, vitamin B6 25 mg, vitamin B12 1 mg) once daily. It is important to consult with your healthcare provider for proper monitoring and management.
