I'm noticing my heartbeat feels really strong and visible in my stomach and chest all the time. Sometimes when I'm just sitting, it actually makes my body move with each beat. Is that something normal? My heart rate usually sits between 70 to 80 beats per minute, and my blood pressure is around 12090. Does that sound okay?

Having a visible heartbeat in your stomach and chest, along with feeling strong pulsations, can be concerning. This may be due to a condition called aortic aneurysm or other cardiovascular issues. Your blood pressure of 12090 is slightly elevated and should be monitored. It's important to consult a cardiologist for further evaluation and management.

I'm really worried and need some guidance. I know someone who's a 20-year-old female, not married, and she has 50 percent artery blockage. She's also experiencing breathlessness and chest pain when she's physically active. She doesn't have diabetes or hypertension, so we're confused about whether she needs stenting or not. What would you suggest?

A person with 50 percent artery blockage who is experiencing breathlessness and chest pain during physical activity may benefit from stenting. For this individual, I recommend considering the use of aspirin 75mg once daily to prevent blood clot formation and atorvastatin 20mg once daily to lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of further blockages. However, the final decision on stenting should be made after consulting with a cardiologist. It's important to also make lifestyle modifications such as regular exercise, a healthy diet, and avoiding smoking to improve heart health."
