I can hear my heartbeat when I lay down, and sometimes my shirt even moves with it. I can actually see it happening. My ECG came back normal, so I'm curious about what's going on. What could be causing this?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
When you hear your heart sound when lying down and notice movement of your t-shirt along with it, it could be due to a condition called pulsatile tinnitus. This can occur when there is an increase in blood flow near the ear, causing you to hear your heartbeat. In this case, you can try using a white noise machine or background music to help mask the sound. If the symptoms persist or worsen, you may need to consult with an ENT specialist for further evaluation and management.

View allI've been consistently walking over 10,000 steps a day, or about 10 kilometers daily, for the last 4 to 5 months without missing a day. Recently, I noticed that my resting heart rate is around 55 to 60. Is that something I should be worried about? I had an ECG done about three months ago before my gallbladder surgery, and everything seemed fine back then. Would appreciate any advice or insight.
You mentioned having an ECG done before your gallbladder operation 3 months ago. A resting heart rate of 55 to 60 beats per minute is generally considered normal, especially if you are physically active and have a history of regular exercise. It can be a sign of good cardiovascular fitness. However, it's important to consider your individual health history and any symptoms you may be experiencing. Since you have had an ECG done recently, it would be best to consult with your healthcare provider to review the results and ensure that there are no concerning findings related to your heart rate. If you are not experiencing any symptoms such as dizziness, chest pain, or shortness of breath, a resting heart rate in this range is usually not a cause for concern.

I'm really worried about my moms blood pressure. Her reading came in at 171 over 105 and she's been struggling with it for months now. Are there any effective treatments or suggestions you might have to help manage it?
High blood pressure can be managed with lifestyle changes and medication. In this case, your mom may benefit from starting medication to lower her blood pressure. I recommend she consult with a doctor to get a prescription for medications such as Amlodipine (5mg) or Lisinopril (10mg) to help lower her blood pressure levels. Additionally, she should focus on a healthy diet, regular exercise, and stress management techniques to help control her blood pressure.
