QUESTION ABOUT MEDICATION FOR PALPATIONS

Glad to have found this group!!

I am a 39 year old male, i have had palpations for about 10 years now. Unfortunately it has got to the point i cant take them!! I cant enjoy and live my life because they are unpredictable.

I denied medication, back when i was first diagnosed with palpations

Who, is taking medication for palpations? How does it work?

Crushing pain under sternum?

Tried reaching out to my doctor about it, but he dismissed my concerns because i am 17 and "at my age, if something like that were to kill me I wouldn't see it coming" (his words. way to reassure my already health-anxious self!).

I tried looking it up everywhere and can't find anybody with the same symptom. I've been feeling abnormally tired for the past month or so, like downright exhausted.

On the 9th, I felt a weird, crushing tightness that left me breathless, right under my sternum, like a palpitation but more insistent and constant, of a duration of less than a second to two second at most. It happened a second time a few hours later, which led me to go to the ER. Blood test & ECG came back okay.

Completely forgot about it until tonight; it came back. Same thing, less than a second. It doesn't really hurt; it's more uncomfortable than anything, but it makes me breathless for that period of time and it feels like my brain disconnects during it. Wouldn't be able to explain better than this. I feel a weird leftover sharp sensation over the right side of my sternumn, not really painful but like something is in the way. It's just a little uncomfortable.

Anyone else ever had this happen to them? Any idea what to do next? I'm not sure who to reach out to.

What to avoid and what to eat/do to keep the heart in shape?

So I have irregular heart beats, sometimes my heart jumps and it scares the f out of me, having medical anxiety, I then go into panic attack mode and vicious circle ensues, generating more symptoms.

​

I have 2 heart problems : LVNC and mitral valve prolapse.

I'm more and more scared that I'm gonna die juste like that so I want to take every small measure I can to keep my heart in the best shape possible.

What can I specifically do, avoid, eat, etc?

Exercise : I'm trying to get back to sport but very small stuff cause I'm scared it'd strain my heart too much even if doc says no worries even doing boxing or whatnot like I used to do.

Food : I'm vegetarian and am trying to avoid packaged foods.

Smokes and alcool : very occasional (maybe, 1-2 drinks and cigs per week until now down from being a daily heavy drinker and smoker a few years ago, but I'm trying to go cold turkey and avoid at least cigarettes)

Caffeine : no more coffee. No black tea. Green tea, but I'm not sure if even green can affect my heart's rythm of whatnot.

I’m a fit 43yo athlete diagnosed with heart disease. Put on 20mg crestor. Feel like I’ve lost significant tone and strength. Studies on statins involve a much older population. Wondering if anyone closer to my age has experience with power lifting/strength training on statins.

what's happening to me?

I had heart testing done from imaging to blood work too stress test. Everything is clean. I do have pvcs but this what just happened tonight...I'll starts from 2 days ago. Went to lay in bed. Gotten 1 pvc that made me lose my breath. Happens sometimes. This time it happen few times then out of nowhere 5 in a row maybe more. It was so intense that I gotten up and ran to get my phone. Called 911 and ended up in the ER all day doing blood work and troponin. Everything's fine. Today same thing but watching TV. Sweating a little bit not sure if it's anxiety or not. I called my cardiologist after hours. Some guy called me back and told me as if I will die and need to go to the ER. Issue is. Ice Strom and nothing I can do and the ambulance wouldn't even take me to the heart hospital. They just take you to the nearest one and mine nearest one is so so unprofessional. From 2 days ago to today 3 days. I still can workout with no issue so I'm not sure what's going on. Had stress echogram. X-ray November and troponin on January 21st and 25th. EKG 2 days ago and troponin.

I have feel tachycardia but doctors say I have nothing??

I am 14 male, About 6 months ago or so I started experiencing my heart beats become very fast and strong with little exercise. I used to go train football 2 days a week and was pretty fit for my entire childhood. I feel like this "tachycardia " came suddenly, I went to 3 doctors and all said I have nothing to worry about. One of them mentioned that I did have a little bit of tachycardia during my day(cuz he put a certain device on me for a day) but its nothing to worry abt. And now I can't do regular stuff I used to do like playing football continously or running I feel like it's affecting my performance. I started doing cardio recently

Diabetes is a major risk factor for developing heart disease, and people with diabetes are two to four times more likely to have a heart attack or stroke than those without diabetes. The link between diabetes and heart health is complex, and understanding it is essential in order to reduce the risk

Should I start taking statins?

I apologise for the long post below .

I am confused if I need to go on a lifelong dosage of statins. I am looking for advice from others who are in the same situation or medical professionals. Let me list down my thought process below -

I'm an Indian male, 42 years old. Slightly overweight (5'9", 83 kgs). Over the last few years I have tried to lead a physically active lifestyle that includes at least 6-7 hours of exercise weekly, including cardio and weight training. My diet mostly comprises of home cooked Indian meals (rice, chappatis, pulses, legumes, and green veggies, with occasional chicken and eggs. I'm also a social drinker (1-2 drinks per week).

I have a family history of heart disease (Both grandfathers, my father, and elder brother (49 years old) have had heart attacks).

I get an annual blood work done and my LDL remains stubbornly high at about 100-120 even though I mostly eat healthy and workout. Triglycerides are below the threshold. Blood pressure is normal. I dont have any other risk factor like diabetes, obesity, hypertension, blood sugar and smoking etc.

I consulted a physician recently after my brother got a heart attack. And he suggested that I immediately get on a daily regimen of statins (10mg).

My biggest hesitancy about statins is that I dont want to take a drug for the rest of my life if there is no major risk for me. I feel any drug has its short term and long term side effects. For example, statins are known to cause Type 2 diabetes in some patients. I would like to stay away from any such unintended side effects.

I'm sure there are others like me wrestling with this situation. It would be very helpful to hear your point of view and your experience with statins, if any. Thanks!

Do I have heart disease? Or is it just anxiety.

Sometimes I have chest pain everyday like 1-2 a day usually goes away fast like in a minute. Sometimes I don’t even have chest pain. Is this a symptom?

I dont know what is happening to me

About 6 months ago i (31m) was sitting at night watching tv and suddenly i felt a single very strong heart beat, it scared me but i tried to ignore it, a minute or two later i got a second one, this time way stronger, like i've been physically hit with a fist on my chest. I stood up in fear tried to take a deep breath and wash my face and then i got hit by the third one, it felt like being punched by a professional boxer, it knocked me to the ground, for a couple seconds i couldnt hear or see anything, i got up and i was sort of limping bc my legs were really stiff and failing, i went to my girlfriend and said that i needed to go to the hospital right now no questions asked, on the way i could feel my heart rate going through the roof and down the floor within seconds of each other, i honestly tought i was dying. In the hospitol they took my pressure , it was a little high, and did an ecg and it was normal, they pumped me with sedatives and i blacked out and was sent home the following morning when i woke up.

This happened for 3 days straight, the it stopped. But since it happened it changed me, now on some days when im trying to sleep and am just about to fall asleep i feel a shock/chill on my heart , it feels like my heart stops for a single second. I also get random heart palpitations, chest pains, night sweats, anxiety and i feel very tired. If i consume an above average amount of alcohol my heart goes into afib on the next day. If a have an adrenaline rush i feel a very sharp pain in my chest and if i drink any amount of caffeine i have arrhythmia.

I've been to a cardiologist who did exams and said everythign was fine with my heart.

I've been to a shrink who said it was a panic disorder and gave me an anxiolytic prescription, but im not convinced.

Has anyone experienced something similar? Should i got to another heart doctor? Should i go to a neurologist? I'll appreaciate any input, this is deteriorating my life quality as time goes by and idk what to do
