View allI've been experiencing a strange fluttering feeling just under my left breast since last night. I'm not sure if it's just gas or if I'm having heart palpitations, but it's really uncomfortable and kept me from sleeping well. Theres no pain, and my smart band shows my heart rate is 83 with a SPO2 of 96. Can you help me figure out what's going on?
The weird fluttering sensation under your left breast, without pain, could be due to various reasons such as heart palpitations, anxiety, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), or even gas trapped in the digestive system; given your normal heart rate and oxygen saturation levels, try relaxation techniques, avoid caffeine and heavy meals, and if the sensation persists or worsens, consider consulting a cardiologist

I'm having this recurring pain in my left hand that comes and goes. I got an ECG, and it came out normal. I had a full body check-up at the end of September, and everything seemed fine, except they said I had a vitamin D and B12 deficiency and low hemoglobin. I'm also feeling this tightness on my left side of the chest, kind of near the shoulder. I've been dealing with acidity since May till August. With all these symptoms, I'm wondering if this could be related to acidity, or should I be worried about a heart problem? I'm currently taking Ambulax and Serlift once a day. What do you think might be going on here?
It sounds like you may be experiencing musculoskeletal pain or nerve-related pain in your left hand, possibly related to the tightness in your chest near the shoulder. Since your ECG is normal and you have a history of acidity, it is less likely to be a heart problem. The pain could be related to the vitamin deficiencies and low hemoglobin levels. To help with the pain and tightness, you can try taking a pain reliever like Tylenol (acetaminophen) as needed. Additionally, you can apply a topical pain relief cream like Volini gel on the affected area. For your acidity, continue taking Ambulax as prescribed. However, if the symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to consult with a doctor for further evaluation and management.

I'm looking at my 2D echo report and I'm a bit worried about my heart health. It says my mean PAP is 23.18 and PASP is 38mm Hg. There's also something about a peak tricuspid regurgitation velocity of 2.6, and it's noted as mild tricuspid regurgitation. The report mentions my ejection fraction is 60 and that I have good systolic function, with no diastolic dysfunction. I'm just wondering if there's a risk of pulmonary hypertension with these numbers?
Based on your 2D echo report, with a mean PAP of 23.18 and PASP of 38mm Hg, along with a peak tricuspid regurgitation velocity of 2.6 and mild tricuspid regurgitation, it indicates that there is a possibility of pulmonary hypertension. However, further evaluation and monitoring by a healthcare professional are recommended to determine the severity and appropriate treatment.
