View allI've been feeling these twitching sensations in my chest for about 11.5 months now. It's like a really minor shock or spasm right in the center but a bit below my chest, and they last for less than a second. It used to happen less often, but in the last few days, it's been like 5 or 6 times a day, if not more. I've never felt anything like this before. I should probably mention I smoke, but not too heavily, and I've decided to quit after feeling these twitches. I used to go to the gym regularly before I quit a month ago, and I don't think I had this issue when I was lifting weights. I've also noticed that these twitches happen more if I haven't eaten or slept for a while, though that might just be a coincidence. It's stressing me out and making me really uncomfortable. Any ideas on what could be causing this or what I should do?

I'm dealing with Rheumatoid Arthritis and I'm on methotrexate. Recently, I've been experiencing heart palpitations, like up to 12 times a minute, mostly in the evening, but now it's happening more often. My heart rate's been an average of 107, but right now it's at 91 bpm. I've got an appointment on Wednesday at the heart hospital to get things checked out. But I'm really curious about when this stuff would be considered an emergency. It's making me feel pretty uncomfortable. Any advice?
It is important to monitor your symptoms closely. If you experience severe chest pain, shortness of breath, fainting, or dizziness along with the heart palpitations, it could be a sign of a more serious issue and would be considered an emergency. Since you are already scheduled for an appointment at the heart hospital on Wednesday, it is best to discuss your symptoms with the healthcare provider there. They will be able to evaluate your condition and provide appropriate guidance.

I'm a little concerned about my mom's recent chest x-ray report. It mentioned borderline cardiomegaly and she's been getting treatment for tuberculosis. What exactly does borderline cardiomegaly mean? Should we be worried about it? Is this a serious issue? If it is, can it be treated?
Pulmonologist opinion is advised to the patient.
