Question

I'm feeling a bit worried about this uneasy sensation in my chest that comes and goes. I know I tend to have hypertension, although my blood pressure is currently at 12878. I'm already on medication for high blood pressure and high triglyceride levels, but my latest ECG showed something about sinus arrhythmia, even though it mentioned no significant abnormalities. Can you help me understand what this means and if there's something I should be doing?

Question

I'm a bit worried about my mom. She's been dealing with Diabetes and Hypertension for about 12 years now, and shes been taking medications to keep them in check. Since last November, she started on Ecosprin AV 7520 daily. I'm kind of concerned about if there are any side effects from taking it every day and whether its necessary to have Aspirin free intervals?

Question

I've been dealing with a super fast heartbeat whenever I lie down in bed for the last 56 days. It's weird because I don't feel any pain or like my chest is congested, but I do feel a lot of anxiety. I'm 24, my height is 5'9", and I weigh about 80kgs. Whenever I'm walking or sitting, my heartbeat seems normal; it's just when I'm laying down that it speeds up. Do you have any idea what could be going on? Is it something serious?
