Are palpitations and lightheadedness normal at age of 27?
Hello doctor,
I am a 27-year-old female with a healthy BMI. Two years ago, at the age of 25, an ECG revealed early repolarization antero-laterally and inferiorly. Subsequent ECGs were normal, but I have been experiencing regular palpitations, and occasional lightheadedness when lying down or standing up quickly, and my resting heart rate, according to my fitness watch, ranges from 59 to 64.
My GP attributed the palpitations to anxiety, but I remain concerned given the mixed risk indication on my ECG report. The report mentioned "Sinus arrhythmia" with irregular p-wave duration but normal morphology of p-waves and stated that the p-wave duration was representative of atrial depolarization.
During the abnormal ECG, I was taking a high dose of Modafinil for ADHD, consuming stimulants like coffee and energy drinks, and experiencing heightened stress. Additionally, I received my third COVID-19 vaccine dose a few months earlier. Considering these factors, I am curious if they could have influenced the ECG reading. Moreover, I wonder if pericarditis, possibly triggered by the COVID-19 vaccine, might be a consideration.
I have requested a weekly monitor but have only received two additional ECGs, both of which were normal. Given the persistent symptoms and uncertainties surrounding the initial abnormal reading, should I be advocating for more comprehensive investigations beyond ECGs?
Kindly help.
Thank you.

Is it possible to reduce high BP with exercise and diet?
Hi doctor,
Sometimes I experience headaches and right shoulder pain. My blood pressure readings for the past years have been normal and show 82/125. However, last year, a medical checkup conducted by the company revealed that my blood pressure had reached the level of 102/155, with a heart rate of 65 to 75. A blood test, urine analysis, and ECG were performed. Everything was normal. What should I do, and should I start taking medication? Or can it be controlled through exercise and diet? I walk for 40 to 50 minutes in the morning and play badminton regularly. In the last 25 years, I have not consumed coffee, tea, or meat. I eat mainly vegetarian meals. I am in my forties. How can the cause of high blood pressure be determined? In comparison, I felt less hungry and believed that one meal was adequate, yet, I had difficulty sleeping at night. Please make some suggestions.
