View allI'm really curious and a bit concerned about something that's been happening to me lately. Every time I finish my lunch, it feels like my heart starts racing more than usual. It's really noticeable, and it only happens after I eat a meal. Just to give you a bit of context, I'm a 53-year-old woman, and I do have a history of thyroid problems. Could this be related, or is there another reason why my heart speeds up after eating?
This could be due to a condition called postprandial tachycardia, which is a rapid heart rate that occurs after eating. In your case, with a history of thyroid issues, it could be related to thyroid dysfunction affecting your heart rate. I recommend consulting with your doctor to adjust your thyroid medication if needed. In the meantime, you can try taking a beta-blocker medication such as Metoprolol (25-50mg) before meals to help control your heart rate after eating.

Sometimes my heart rate goes above 115 bpm, which is making me concerned since I know the normal range is between 60 to 100 bpm. I've been using an oximeter to check my heart rate. My baby recently passed away due to a cardiac problem and was born with a heart defect. Could this be related to my heart rate issues? Should I consider getting any tests done to check for potential issues?
A heart rate of 115bpm or higher is considered elevated. It can be caused by various factors such as stress, anxiety, caffeine intake, dehydration, or physical activity. It is important to monitor your heart rate regularly and consult a doctor if you have persistent high heart rates. Given your family history of a baby with a heart defect, it may be a good idea to consult a cardiologist for further evaluation. Tests such as an ECG, echocardiogram, or stress test may be recommended to assess your heart health and rule out any underlying conditions. It's important to address any concerns about your heart health, especially given your family history.

I've been experiencing this sharp, pricking pain in my chest for about a week, and I'm really not sure what it could be. It doesn't stay in one spot and sometimes it's on the left, sometimes on the right, near the left breast, or even below the shoulder. I got both an ECG and an echo, and they both came back normal, but I'm still worried. Any idea what might be going on?
