I've been having these heart palpitations lately, and honestly, they really freak me out. I saw a doctor and felt better for a while, but it seems like they still happen about once a month. The last episode was pretty intenseI was just sleeping, and suddenly it felt like my heart was racing around 200 beats per minute, maybe even more. What could be causing this, and should I be worried?

Hlo Sriram, it sounds like you are experiencing episodes of tachycardia, where your heart beats very fast. This can be concerning and may require further evaluation. One possible medication that can be prescribed for such episodes is Metoprolol (brand name: Lopressor) at a starting dose of 25-50mg twice daily. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

View allIve been experiencing some chest pain on the upper right side whenever I laugh. Its strange because the pain shows up only during laughter and then just disappears. Should I be worried about this, or is it something that might just pass on its own?

I've been having these palpitations for a while now, and lately, my hands start shaking with each heartbeat. If I rest something like a pen on my chest, it moves up and down. Plus, there's this visible pulsation, but I can't really pinpoint exactly where it's happening in my chest or abdomen. What could this mean?

I'm feeling really anxious about this tight, squeezing sensation I've been having in my chest. I'm not sure whether it's actually my chest or something with my esophagus. It gets worse when I'm lying in bed and sometimes feels like heartburn. Do you have any tips or ideas about what might be going on? I can't help but worry.
