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?

It sounds like you may be experiencing palpitations along with visible pulsations. This can be concerning and may require further evaluation. One possible medication that can help with palpitations is Metoprolol (brand name: Lopressor). The usual dosage for palpitations is 25-100mg twice daily. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and management of your symptoms.

View allI'm really worried about something I came across in my medical report it mentions 'abnormal BR wave progression.' Is this something serious or dangerous? What steps should I consider taking to address or monitor this?
Abnormal ECG findings like abnormal R wave progression can indicate underlying heart conditions. It is important to further evaluate the cause of this abnormality. Treatment may involve medications such as beta blockers like Metoprolol or calcium channel blockers like Amlodipine. Dosage and duration of treatment should be determined by a healthcare professional after a thorough evaluation. Regular follow-up with a cardiologist is recommended to monitor the condition.

I'm really worried because my diastolic blood pressure is consistently 90 or higher, even though my systolic is usually between 120 and 130. I've had a renal scan and tests for creatinine and urine protein, and everything came back normal. What could be causing this high diastolic pressure when everything else seems fine?
Given your high diastolic blood pressure (90+ mmHg) and normal systolic pressure (120-130 mmHg), along with normal renal scan, creatinine, and urine protein results, consider lifestyle modifications to manage blood pressure: increase physical activity, reduce sodium intake, follow the DASH diet, manage stress through relaxation techniques, get adequate sleep (7-8 hours), and maintain a healthy weight

What could be causing my palpitations if it's not heart-related? All my tests, like the ECG, 2D echo, CBC, thyroid, and vitamin D3, came back normal. I still get palpitations randomly and also feel really tired with body aches. What might be going on?
Palpitations can be caused by various factors other than heart problems, even if your ECG, 2D echo, CBC, thyroid, and vitamin D3 levels are normal. Some possible causes of palpitations in your case could be: - Anxiety or stress - Caffeine or stimulant intake - Anemia - Dehydration - Electrolyte imbalances - Medications (such as decongestants or asthma inhalers) - Hormonal changes (such as during menstruation or menopause) To help alleviate your symptoms, you can try reducing caffeine intake, staying hydrated, managing stress through relaxation techniques, and ensuring a balanced diet. If symptoms persist, you may consider discussing with your doctor about medications like beta-blockers to help control palpitations.
