My sister has been having a heartbeat issue for about a month. Her heart beats increase suddenly and she starts breathing really fast. Could this be a heart problem, or is it something else? What should I do? I'm really worried.

It is important to consult a doctor for proper evaluation and diagnosis. In the meantime, to help manage the symptoms, you can consider giving her Metoprolol (brand name: Lopressor) at a starting dose of 25 mg twice daily. This medication can help regulate the heart rate and reduce symptoms of palpitations. However, it is crucial to seek medical advice for a comprehensive assessment and treatment plan.

I've been feeling this odd sensation when I'm sitting down, like there's a push and pull throughout my body matched with my heartbeat. It's like my heart is beating at a normal pace but with a lot of force. I can also see my heartbeat in my stomach area. Plus, I've been having some discomfort in my chest. Both my echo and TMT came back normal, so I'm kind of confused about what's going on. What might be causing this, and what type of doctor should I talk to about it?
