Question

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?

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.

Question

I'm feeling this fluttering sensation on the upper left side of my chest and it's like my breath stops for a moment. I've had an ECG and all that, and apparently, everything is normal. Do you think it could be acidity or something else?

Question

I'm feeling a lot of pain in the upper muscles of my chest, even though I can breathe normally. It feels like there's pressure on my chest. I recently had a chest X-ray, and the doctor said it was normal. I've got acidity, and I'm not sure if that's what's causing this much pain. It sometimes feels like I might fall over, but my blood pressure and sugar levels are normal. I'm really anxious about my health. I've already taken all the reports; CT scan for my brain was normal, and liver, kidney, and thyroid are also fine. I even checked cardio and took a TMT which came back negative. But both the right and left chest muscles are still hurting. What should I do?

Question

I've noticed over the last couple of days that my blood pressure has been lower than usual. My systolic pressure is hovering between 90 and 100, and the diastolic numbers are around 50 to 60. I'm a bit concerned about what's causing this drop. What might be going on and what should I do about it?
