I'm feeling a strong pulse right below my ribcage. It lasts for a couple of seconds and then sometimes it comes back either 10 seconds or an hour later. Should I be worried about this, and what could it possibly be?

It sounds like you may be experiencing palpitations. Palpitations are sensations of a rapid or irregular heartbeat. In this case, it is important to monitor your symptoms and consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation. If necessary, your doctor may prescribe medications such as Metoprolol (25-100mg) to help regulate your heart rate and reduce palpitations. Remember to follow your doctor's recommendations and keep track of any changes in your symptoms.

I got an echo test done, and it showed mild mitral regurgitation, but no other abnormalities or pathology. Is this something serious? Should I be worried or do anything specific about it?

I'm really worried about my mom. Her blood pressure reading is 150 over 82. Is this something we should be concerned about? Does it mean she has high BP? I'm wondering if we should consult a doctor and consider medication. What would you advise?
blood pressure reading of 15082 is considered elevated, with the systolic pressure (150) being in the stage 1 hypertension range. It is important to monitor her blood pressure regularly to see if it stays consistently high. In case of persistent high blood pressure, medication may be required. I recommend consulting a doctor for further evaluation and to discuss potential treatment options. In terms of medication, the doctor may prescribe antihypertensive drugs such as Losartan 50mg or Amlodipine 5mg to help lower her blood pressure.

I'm experiencing some heart-related issues that are making me a bit anxious. Back in December 2019, I had a fast heartbeat and some pain on my left side, so I went to a cardio doctor in Patna. After running an ECG, he prescribed me clonozepam, etizola, and a beta blocker, which really helped at the time. But lately, I've been noticing this fluttering sensation in my heart, and it's making me wonder if it's something I should be worried about or if it's fine to just ignore it. Could you give me some advice on this?
