I'm really concerned because I've been feeling my heart pounding in my stomach, especially when I'm lying down. It's even more noticeable while I'm sleeping. I also have exciting dreams that cause me to wake up suddenly. Is this something I should be worried about? Could there be an underlying issue causing this?

View allI've been dealing with hypertension for the past year and recently found out I have mild LVH. I'm currently taking nebivolol and amlodipine, but my blood pressure still won't go below 13585. I'm only 34, and I'm worried about why these meds aren't working. Is there something else I should consider doing or trying?
Managing hypertension with mild LVH (Left Ventricular Hypertrophy) requires a comprehensive approach. _Current Medications_ 1. _Nebivolol_: A beta-blocker that helps lower blood pressure and reduce LVH. 2. _Amlodipine_: A calcium channel blocker that helps relax blood vessels and lower blood pressure. _Additional Strategies_ 1. _Lifestyle Modifications_: - Regular aerobic exercise (at least 150 minutesweek) - Weight management (aim for a BMI between 18.5 and 24.9) - Balanced diet (emphasize fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean protein) - Stress reduction techniques (meditation, yoga, or deep breathing) 2. _Monitor and Adjust Medications_: - Regularly monitor blood pressure and adjust medications as needed. - Consider adding a diuretic or an ACE inhibitorARB to enhance blood pressure control. 3. _LVH Monitoring_: - Regular echocardiograms to monitor LVH progression - Adjust medications and lifestyle modifications accordingly _Consult a Specialist_ Consider consulting a cardiologist to reassess your treatment plan and provide personalized guidance.

Ive noticed that my heart rate is really highlike around 96 to 108 when Im just sitting, and it shoots up to 110 to 120 once I start walking. I did have COVID about 10 months ago and got my ECG and echo tests done three months back, which came out normal. I also checked my cholesterol and thyroid levels, and they were fine. Should I be concerned about my heart rate, or is this something that will go back to normal over time?
Since your ECG and echo were normal 3 months back, it is less likely to be a serious issue. However, it is important to monitor your heart rate regularly and follow up with your healthcare provider. In the meantime, you can try taking a beta-blocker medication like Metoprolol at a low dose of 25mg once daily to help control your heart rate. Make sure to consult with your doctor before starting any new medication.

I'm 30 and lately, I've been experiencing this weird sinking feeling in my chest, almost like a jump-sinking sensation. It just pops up randomly, any time of the day, and can last for a while. It's got me feeling uneasy, and I'm not sure what's going on. Can anyone help me figure this out?
stess,alcohol and lack of sleep ,exercisecould be acute causes of jump in the heart rate ,rythm. Few investigations like ECG ,cardiac markers and echo if symptoms persist for more than 3 weeks is advised
