Dear XXXXXXX
Welcome back to Ask a Doctor service!
I understand your concern and would explain that
every healthy adult needs to take 3,500–4,700 mg of potassium daily from foods or as a supplement.
Some groups of people, suffering from chronic renal loss of potassium, those who take loop diuretics or those who sweat a lot should take at least 4,700 mg per day.
But it is difficult to calculate the amount of potassium taken in food.
From the other hand, our kidneys regulate the amount of potassium excreted, depending on potassium plasma levels ( and its intake).
So, even if you don't take the right amount of daily potassium needed, the kidneys help maintain the right potassium circulating levels in blood for a certain period of time, if their function is optimal.
Anyway, if you are feeling tired or with some palpitations, I would recommend checking potassium plasma levels, in order to be sure that everything is OK.
Hope you will find this information helpful!
I remain at your disposal for any further questions whenever you need!

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX
Your symptoms are not suggestive of any cardiac disorders.
Your blood pressure values and heart rate are excellent. So, there is no reason to panic!
In my opinion, this feeling could be just a little anxiety, especially considering your past performed tests.
I don't think that you should perform any additional cardiac tests.
Hope you will find this information helpful!
Let me know about everything!

Welcome back to Ask a Doctor service!
Your symptoms could be attributed to gerd, as it appears also when sitting. For this reason, I would recommend trying omeprazole or an antiacid and see if it helps improve your situation.
But, I would exclude any possible cardiac issues. Your blood pressure values are a little low, but not concerning. While your heart rate values are perfectly normal.
So, there is no reason to panic. Considering your performed cardiac tests, I would exclude any cardiac issues. There is no need to perform any additional cardiac tests.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!

Brief Answer:
My opinion as follows:
Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX
As a Cardiologist, I would recommend exclude any possible cardiac issues related to your symptoms.
The changes in the heart rate are quite normal during physical exercise or anxiety.
While the fact that the pain was triggered by bending is another argument in favour of gerd or musculoskeletal pain ( both these disorders can lead to chest pain while bending over).
So, try to relax and don't worry about it!
There is no need for any additional cardiac tests!
