I've noticed my heart rate is pretty high, around 110 bpm, even though all my tests like blood work, TMT, and the ECG are normal, with just sinus tachycardia showing up. I don't have any issues when I'm running, but the high heart rate still worries me. I'm really anxious about my heart, and even my blood pressure is normal. Could anxiety be causing this, or is there something else I should consider?

You may be experiencing anxiety-related tachycardia. In such cases, it is important to address the underlying anxiety to help reduce the heart rate. You can try taking propranolol (brand name: Inderal) as needed to help lower your heart rate and reduce anxiety symptoms. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques such as deep breathing exercises or mindfulness meditation may also be beneficial in managing your anxiety and heart rate.

I'm really worried about my mom. She's been having this pain on the left side of her chest, and it spreads to her shoulder blade and down her arm. It's been really tough for her because she also feels uncomfortable when she's swallowing, and the pain gets worse when she takes a deep breath. She's not dealing with a cold, cough, or fever, but even with the meds she's taking, nothing seems to be helping. Could you please help me understand what might be going on and how we can treat it?

I'm having this sharp pain in my chest, kind of in the middle but a little to the left, but it really only hits when I move my shoulder forward. Lately, I've also noticed this chest pain and feeling of unease when I'm lying down, though it seems to go away if I start walking or just stand up. I'm getting a bit worried. Could this be related to my heart or lungs?

It sounds like you may be experiencing musculoskeletal chest pain, especially since the pain worsens with shoulder movement. However, given your recent chest pain and uneasiness while lying down, it's important to rule out any heart or lung issues. I recommend you take an over-the-counter pain reliever like ibuprofen (e.g., Advil) for the musculoskeletal pain. If the chest pain persists or worsens, or if you experience any other concerning symptoms, please seek medical attention for further evaluation and possible imaging tests like an ECG or chest X-ray.

I'm feeling healthy overall, but I've been experiencing this needle-like poking sensation in my heart a few times a day, and it's starting to worry me. I'm curious if there's something I can do naturally to stop it. Any advice?
