I've been feeling my heartbeat really easily, especially when I'm trying to sleep. I've gone through all the checkups, including wearing a Holter monitor, and everything came back normal. But I still feel my heart, and sometimes it feels like there's a crushing sensation in my chest. What can I do to stop this from happening?

Question

Hey, I've been having this left chest pain for a year now. I've done a TMT test and it came back negative. In the past year, I've had a 2D echo done 3 times and about 40 ECGs, all normal, but the pain is still there on the left side of my chest. Even though the TMT was negative, the pain persists, and I'm really worried about heart issues. My cholesterol levels are fine, sugar levels are normal, but my BP is 16090. My liver, kidney, and urine tests are also normal. I'm really anxious, especially with all the scary news I see on TV and social media. I've attached the most recent ECG can you please check if there's anything wrong? What should be my next step?

Question

I'm curious about this condition called Left Anterior Fascicular Block. Is it something I should be worried about? How is it usually treated? I'd really appreciate some guidance.

Question

I've just gotten over COVID, and I've noticed some changes in my heart rate. When I'm at rest, it's okay around 70-95, but when I climb stairs, it spikes to between 160-165. Even when I'm just walking at a pace of 5 kmh, it's around 130-140. Is this normal post-COVID, or should I be concerned?
