I've been noticing that when I'm lying down, I can actually feel my heartbeat. Is this what's known as palpitation? It doesn't feel like that scary, pounding sensation, just a slight awareness of my heartbeat. Should I be concerned?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Yes, feeling your heart beat when lying down can be considered palpitations. It is important to monitor your symptoms and consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation. In the meantime, you can try taking propranolol 10mg once daily to help with palpitations.

Is my EKG normal? Can you manually check the QTc levels because last time the machine got it wrong? Also, I'm confused about what non-specific ST depression means. From what I understand, ST depression is linked to a heart attack or ischemia. I've had ECGs before, but this is the first time I've seen this in the report. Could you help explain this?
Regarding the EKG, I cannot check the QTc levels manually through this platform. Non-specific ST depression on an EKG means that there are changes in the ST segment of the EKG that are not specifically indicative of a heart attack or ischemia. It can be caused by various factors such as electrolyte imbalances, medications, or even normal variation. If you have concerns about the findings on your EKG, it would be best to discuss them with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and interpretation.
