  1. Lemons and Blood Pressure
    Eating lemons can be a healthy addition to your diet, but they are unlikely to significantly lower blood pressure on their own. They are rich in vitamin C and antioxidants, which support heart health.

  2. Lifestyle Recommendations
    a. Balanced Diet: Include fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and reduce salt intake.
    b. Physical Activity: Engage in regular exercise.
    c. Healthy Weight: Maintain a healthy body weight.
    d. Limit Alcohol and Avoid Tobacco: These can impact blood pressure.

  3. Consult Healthcare Provider
    If you have high blood pressure, follow your healthcare provider's advice, which may include medications and specific dietary recommendations. Discuss any concerns with your doctor.

I've been dealing with some heart issues after my open heart surgery in 2016 for ASD closure. Lately, I've noticed that my resting heart rate at night sometimes drops below 55, and it feels like my heart might be skipping a beat now and then. Although my 2D Echo results are normal aside from a Grade I diastolic dysfunction, every time I do an ECG at the clinic, it shows a high heart rate but with a sinus rhythm. I've been on Seloken XL 50 every morning and Telmisartan 20mg for the past month, and my doctor wants me to continue for another three months, saying it's just anxiety. I'm kind of worried, though, about whether there's anything concerning with the low heart rate. What should I do?

I'm really confused because my ECG and 2D Echo results came back normal, but I'm still having chest pain and shortness of breath. What could be going on?

I'm getting these weird feelings where it seems like my heart is struggling to beat at times. Sometimes, out of nowhere, I get these intense palpitations that eventually settle down, but it's really unsettling. Another thing I've noticed is that just when I'm about to burp, the palpitations get much stronger and faster, which honestly freaks me out a bit. Any idea what might be happening?

These symptoms could be related to acid reflux causing irritation of the esophagus, which in turn can trigger palpitations. I recommend trying over-the-counter antacids like Tums (500mg) or Maalox (5ml) to help with the acid reflux. Additionally, you can try avoiding trigger foods like spicy or fatty foods, caffeine, and alcohol. If the symptoms persist, it's important to consult with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
