I've been noticing that I can hear my heartbeat pretty clearly while I'm sleeping, especially in a sitting position. Sometimes it even feels like my heart is lifting or something, and it's a bit worrying. I don't have any issues with sugar or blood pressure, but my heart rate is around 100 bpm. Should I be concerned about this for my future health? What do you think?

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of palpitations, which can be concerning. I recommend you to consult with a cardiologist for a proper evaluation and diagnosis. In the meantime, you can take Tab Metoprolol 25mg once daily to help regulate your heart rate and reduce palpitations. Make sure to follow up with your doctor for further management.

I'm really concerned because my ECG showed an abnormal T wave, and now they've told me to see a cardiologist. I'm not sure how serious this is. Should I be worried, and what should my next steps be?

In ECG, an abnormal T wave can indicate various heart conditions. It is important to follow up with a cardiologist for further evaluation and management. Depending on the underlying cause, treatment may include medications such as beta-blockers. Lifestyle modifications such as regular exercise, healthy diet, and stress management are also important. Regular follow-up with the cardiologist is recommended to monitor your heart health.

I was wondering if an ECG could show signs of WPW syndrome. Lately, I've noticed that my heart rate sometimes speeds up, and I'm currently on Dilzem. Could you provide some guidance on this?

Yes, an ECG can show signs of Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome. Since your heart rate increases at times, Dilzem (Diltiazem) is a calcium channel blocker that can help manage this condition. The usual dosage for Dilzem in WPW syndrome is 120-360mg per day, taken in divided doses. It's important to follow your doctor's recommendations for the correct dosage and frequency.
