I'm experiencing something strange after starting my TB medication. My heart beats really fast while I'm sleeping and even after I wake up. I don't have shortness of breath, just a persistent headache, and it's really bothering me because it's affecting my sleep. There's no cough either, just this constant headache and rapid heartbeat throughout the day. My blood pressure is around 13070. What could be causing these symptoms?

I'm wondering if it's okay to take my blood pressure while I'm lying down or if I should always be in a sitting position. Does the blood pressure reading change when I'm lying down compared to when I'm sitting?
It is generally recommended to measure blood pressure while sitting, as this is the standard position for accurate readings. However, in some cases, it may be necessary to measure blood pressure while lying down, especially for patients who have difficulty sitting or standing. Blood pressure readings can vary depending on body position, with readings typically lower when lying down compared to sitting or standing.

I've been getting chest pain and started to feel it in the center below my chest, like where the stomach is, even though I've done ECG more than 20 times and everything seemed normal. I just had a TMT on May 31st, 2022, and I'm wondering how long the reports from that are actually valid. My LDL and HDL levels are normal, but my triglycerides are quite higharound 400. Could this high level of triglycerides be causing a blockage? Is this something heart-related that I should be worried about?
Chest pain can have various causes, including heart-related issues. Since your TMT ECG and other tests have shown normal results, it is less likely to be related to your heart. However, it is essential to consider other factors such as gastrointestinal issues or musculoskeletal pain. It would be best to consult a doctor for a proper evaluation and diagnosis. TMT ECG reports are typically valid for a few months, but it is recommended to consult your healthcare provider for specific guidance. High triglyceride levels, especially above 400, can increase the risk of developing blockages in the arteries over time. It is crucial to manage your triglyceride levels through lifestyle changes and, if necessary, medications prescribed by a healthcare professional.
