I've had all my tests done recently for palpitations, like ECG, echo, and blood work, and everything came back normal. But I still keep getting palpitations, maybe one or two missed beats a month. It's really been stressing me out. What should I do about this?

View allI'm really worried because last year I had strong issues with acidity, anxiety, and headaches. I even got an ECG in June 2018, and everything was normal back then. But since January 2019, I've been experiencing these sudden strong heartbeats that feel like a thump in my chest, even when Im just walking around. It's really upsetting and makes me anxious for days, thinking about why it's happening. Lately, I cant sleep at night and sometimes feel really empty and lacking enthusiasm. I saw a cardiologist who prescribed me Inderal, but Im just trying to understand what could be causing all this. Any idea what's going on with me?
Inderal can help control your physical symptoms, and addressing underlying anxiety through therapy, relaxation techniques, and lifestyle changes should improve your overall well-being. If youre feeling stuck, consider discussing these issues further with your doctor or a mental health professional.

I've been noticing that my heart rate seems to spike all of a sudden whenever I get out of bed or even if I just switch sides while lying down. Is this something I should be worried about?
heart rate increases suddenly after changing positions may be due to a condition called postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS). It is recommended to consult a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment plan. In the meantime, you can try increasing your fluid and salt intake, wearing compression stockings, and doing exercises to improve blood flow such as leg raises and calf pumps. If symptoms persist, medications such as midodrine or fludrocortisone may be prescribed to help regulate your heart rate.

I'm really worried because I've been dealing with an irregular heartbeat pretty much all the time for the last 23 years. What could be causing this?
Irregular heartbeats can be caused by various underlying conditions. In your case, since you have been experiencing this issue for the past 2-3 years, it is important to consult a cardiologist for a proper evaluation and diagnosis. However, one common medication that is often prescribed for irregular heartbeats is Metoprolol (brand name: Lopressor). The usual starting dose for Metoprolol in cases of irregular heartbeats is 25-100 mg per day, taken orally. This medication helps to regulate the heart rate and rhythm. Regular follow-up with a cardiologist is essential to monitor your condition and adjust the treatment plan as needed.
