Hey, I went to the doctor and got tested for heart palpitations, but everything came back normal. I'm supposed to go back in January, but today I experienced heart palpitations for about 40 minutes, and my heart rate was at 130. I felt really hot and a bit faint. I'm on my period, been feeling super stressed, and my eating habits haven't been great these past few weeks. Is this something normal because of all that, or should I be worried?

yes u can use it, visit ur physician for apprpropriate managent

I'm a bit puzzled because my blood pressure reading came out to be 9864, which seems really low. I don't feel dizzy or anything, and I don't have any underlying health issues. Do you have any idea why my BP might be on the lower side? Also, what can I do to help improve it?

At your age thats common its not low no need to worry consume balanced diet and do regular Physical activity you will be fine

I recently had an ECG done at the hospital, and the report mentioned "Normal sinus rhythm" and something about "minimal voltage criteria for LVH" and it being a "borderline ECG." I'm a bit confused and concerned about what this all means. Could you explain if there's anything I should be worried about with these results?

it is normal
