I'm a bit concerned about this flickering feeling I've been having in my right chest for the past 45 days. Sometimes it also aches a little, and it happens regularly, like every 15 to 20 minutes, lasting for about 45 seconds. It's near the rib area, and I've noticed my heart's beating faster too. My blood pressure is 13086. Is this something serious? I don't have any other issues, no cough or fever, and I can breathe fine, but this has got me worried. What could it be?

I'm really worried because lately Ive been experiencing this weird heart fluttering sensation. Its been happening for the last 15 days whenever Im asleep. I suddenly wake up feeling unconscious, and its like I cant even express what Im going through. For a moment, I seriously feel like Im dying, but then after a few seconds, I feel okay again. It happened again last week and then today during the day when I napped. Its super scary and I dont understand whats going on or why this is happening when Im sleeping. Can you please help me figure out what this might be?
Hii, it sounds like you are experiencing episodes of heart palpitations or fluttering. This can be a concerning symptom and it's important to get evaluated by a healthcare professional. In the meantime, you can try taking a beta-blocker medication like Metoprolol (25-50mg) to help control your heart rate and reduce palpitations. It is important to follow up with a doctor for further evaluation and management of your symptoms.

My dad's been having this ongoing chest and left-hand pain for about a month now. He saw a doctor who said it was some kind of gastro issue, and the meds worked while he was on them. But ever since he finished the course, the pain's come back. What could be going on and what should we do next?
