Heart Concern: Please see your doctor. You must be in a lot of stress. There are cases where palpitations can also be triggered with anxiety ( sometimes subconsciously), hormonal, indigestion, mitral valve prolapse and other type of heart disease... The physiology of the human body can be complex but don't wait for further symptoms . In some cases, they don't even get to find out. Take care!

Why does my calf hurt when I stand on my toes?

Dr. Eric Lulloveanswered

Tight Calf Muscles!: The reason your calf hurts is how tight the entire muscle group is. When you stand on your toes, the calf muscle contracts, and if it is tight, then you may have pain. Performing runners' stretches are very beneficial and should help reduce the pain. If it continues, seek medical treatment with a podiatrist.

No easy answer: Ongoing pain in the upper abdomen that has not responded to standard treatments can pose a difficult problem to solve. Best to start with a thorough evaluation by a good gastroenterologist.
