I've been noticing some skipped beats, like a big thump happening at least twice a day. I'm wondering what might be causing this. I don't usually take naps during the day. Could that be related somehow? It's a bit concerning.

Having skipped beats, also known as palpitations, can be caused by various factors. Since you are experiencing this sensation at least twice a day, it is important to investigate further. One common cause of palpitations is caffeine intake, so I would recommend reducing your consumption of caffeinated beverages such as coffee, tea, and energy drinks. Stress and anxiety can also trigger palpitations, so practicing relaxation techniques like deep breathing or meditation may be helpful. Additionally, certain medications or underlying heart conditions could be contributing to your symptoms. It would be advisable to consult a healthcare professional for a thorough evaluation and appropriate management.

View allI'm 29 years old and I've noticed that my resting heart rate is usually between 50 and 60. However, sometimes when I check it in the morning right after getting up, it shows numbers like 46 to 48. During a 2 km run, my heart rate shoots up to 160 or 170, and while walking, it's around 90 to 120. My ECG results have all come back normal, so Im wondering if my low resting heart rate is something I should be concerned about. Is this normal?
A resting heart rate between 50 to 60 beats per minute is considered normal for adults, especially for individuals who are physically active. It can be a sign of good cardiovascular fitness. However, if you are experiencing symptoms such as dizziness, fainting, chest pain, or shortness of breath along with the low heart rate, it is important to consult a doctor for further evaluation. Since your ECG reports are normal, the low resting heart rate is likely due to your good physical fitness level. During exercise, it is normal for the heart rate to increase significantly, as you mentioned reaching 160-170 beats per minute while running. This response is expected and shows that your heart is able to adapt and meet the increased demand for oxygen during physical activity. Overall, based on the information provided, your heart rate variations seem to be within normal ranges for someone who is physically active and with normal ECG results.

I've been monitoring my blood pressure and it's usually around 13090 or 13787, which I'm not sure if that's high or normal. Do I need to be on any medication for this? At home, it's typically 13086, but at work, I've noticed it goes up to 14085 or sometimes even 14080. How can I keep my blood pressure at a healthy level? Should I be worried about these readings or is this something normal? Could you give me some advice on this?

I've been having this regular pain on the left side of my chest for about a week now, and after getting some cardiac tests done, they mentioned things like Sinus bradycardia with Sinus arrhythmia and Hyperacute T waves. I'm having some breathlessness too, but my heartbeat is at 58. The TIPI probability of ACI came out as 9. I'm really hoping you could help me understand what all of this means and if it's something I should be really worried about. Would love some guidance on this!
kindly visit a cardiologist
