Question

I've been experiencing really strong heartbeats two or three times a day for the last year and a half, especially when I'm doing anything physical. Otherwise, my blood pressure seems normal. I'm feeling pretty scared about this. Should I see a doctor?

It sounds like you may be experiencing episodes of palpitations. In such cases, it is important to rule out any underlying heart conditions. You can try taking Metoprolol (brand name: Lopressor) 25mg once a day to help control your heart rate and reduce the intensity of palpitations. However, it is advisable to consult a doctor for a proper evaluation and further management.
