I've been feeling something a bit strange lately whenever I lie down, especially on my side or stomach, I can actually feel my heart beating. And when I press my ear to the pillow, I can hear it clearly in my ears. Ive already had an ECG, echo, and thyroid tests, and everything came back normal. My blood pressure and heartbeat are normal too. I dont have any other symptoms, so Im wondering what this could be or if it's something I should be worried about. What should I do next?

u don't worry nothing will happen

Hey, I accidentally took two MetpureXL25 tablets this morning instead of just one. Is that something I need to worry about or should I just continue with my day as usual?

It is important to be cautious with this medication as it can lower your blood pressure and heart rate significantly. You should monitor your blood pressure and heart rate closely for the next few hours. If you experience any symptoms such as dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting, or shortness of breath, please seek medical attention immediately. In case of overdose, treatment may include supportive measures and monitoring of vital signs. It is advisable to contact a healthcare professional or poison control center for further guidance. Please be more careful with your medication regimen in the future to avoid such incidents.

I'm 24 and just had an ECG. One doctor mentioned something about ST depression, but another said it's no big deal. Should I be worried about the ST depression? Is it something that can be treated?

ST depression on an ECG can be a sign of heart ischemia or other cardiac conditions. It is important to further evaluate the cause of the ST depression to determine the appropriate treatment. Depending on the underlying cause, treatment may involve medications such as aspirin, beta blockers, or nitroglycerin. In some cases, procedures like angioplasty or bypass surgery may be necessary. It is important to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.
