I've been noticing some strong heartbeats and chest pain on my left side after I eat. I don't have any other symptoms, but it's kind of worrying. I had a stress echo and an ECG done about three months ago, and everything was normal. What do you think could be going on?

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of heart palpitations and chest pain after eating. Since your stress echo, echo, and ECG done 3 months ago were normal, it is less likely to be related to any serious heart condition. However, these symptoms could be due to acid reflux or gastritis. I recommend trying over-the-counter antacids like Tums or Rolaids for relief. You can also try avoiding spicy and fatty foods, eating smaller meals, and not lying down immediately after eating. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with your doctor for further evaluation.

I'm 30 and just had an osteoma removed from my forehead, and right before the surgery, they did an ECG. The results said "borderline ECG" and mentioned something about "widespread ST elevation." Can you explain what that means? Should I be worried about these results?

Borderline ECG findings can be normal variants in some individuals, but when combined with widespread ST elevation, it may indicate a potential issue with the heart's electrical activity. This could be due to various reasons such as myocardial injury, pericarditis, or even an electrolyte imbalance. It is important to further evaluate this finding with additional tests like cardiac enzymes, echocardiogram, and possibly a stress test. Depending on the underlying cause, medications like aspirin, beta-blockers, or nitroglycerin may be prescribed. Regular follow-up with a cardiologist is recommended to monitor your heart health.
