I've been experiencing this strange sensation for the last two weeks where it feels like my heart is skipping a beat or just stops briefly, and then it goes back to normal. It can happen maybe 5 to 10 times throughout the day, and it's pretty random. Is this something I should be worried about?
It sounds like you may be experiencing episodes of irregular heartbeats, also known as palpitations. In this case, it is important to consult a cardiologist for further evaluation and management. However, if you are looking for over-the-counter options to help manage your symptoms, you can try taking magnesium supplements. Magnesium can help regulate your heart rhythm and reduce the frequency of palpitations. You can take magnesium supplements such as "Nature Made Magnesium 250 mg" once daily. Remember to consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new supplement regimen.

I'm having some pain that I'm worried about. It's mostly on my left elbow, both upper and sometimes the inner part, and I also feel pain just below my left ear on the jaw. Besides that, I get this discomfort below my left chest and it usually happens when Ive got gas. I've had an ECG done back in August and everything came out normal, but I'm still concerned. The pain kind of comes and goes without any chest pressure or breathing issues. Could this be heart-related? Sometimes the pain hits my back too. My blood pressure is 127 over 79 and my total cholesterol level is 264. Do these symptoms sound like I should be worried about my heart?
Based on the symptoms you have described, such as pain in the left elbow, left jaw, below the left chest, and sometimes in the back, which worsen when you have gas, along with normal ECG results and absence of chest pressure or breathing problems, it is less likely to be cardiac-related. The pain you are experiencing may be musculoskeletal or related to gastrointestinal issues. For the pain in your left elbow and jaw, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen. For gas relief, you can try simethicone-based antacids. Additionally, for high cholesterol levels, you may consider starting a statin medication like atorvastatin at a low dose. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management of your symptoms. Remember to maintain a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise and a balanced diet to help manage your cholesterol levels.
