I'm really worried because I've been having heart palpitations for at least 3 hours. Can anxiety really cause them to go on for so long? And is it possible that someone could die from continuous heart palpitations like this?

Continuous heart palpitations due to anxiety can be distressing, but it is unlikely to directly cause death. However, prolonged episodes of palpitations can lead to complications such as fainting or worsening anxiety symptoms. It is important to address the underlying anxiety to help reduce the frequency and intensity of palpitations. In the meantime, you can take a beta-blocker like Metoprolol (25-50mg) to help control the heart rate and reduce palpitations. Remember to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

View allI'm really concerned about my dad's health right now. A couple of years ago, he had bypass surgery and brain stenting, and he's been doing okay since then. But I've noticed that his pulse rate sometimes jumps to somewhere between 55 and 58 while he's resting and it goes even higher, to about 70 or 80, when hes walking. When hes sitting, it mostly remains at 55 to 58, whereas it used to be above 65. His blood pressure is 11570, and hes on a few medications like metosartan 50, clopivas 150, atorva 40, and glycomet 500. Should I be worried about these changes? He's not showing any symptoms or anything, but with the ongoing corona situation, we're hesitant to rush to the doctor for an ECG. Could this be normal, or is it something we need to look into?
His pulse rate dropping to 55-58 while resting and 70-80 after walking, with most of the time sitting at 55-58, is slightly lower than usual. Given his medical history of bypass surgery and brain stenting, along with the medications he is currently taking (metosartan 50, clopivas 150, atorva 40, and glycomet 500), it is important to monitor his heart rate closely. Considering he is feeling fine with no other symptoms, it may not be an immediate cause for concern. However, it would be advisable to consult with his healthcare provider for further evaluation. In the meantime, you can consider discussing with his doctor about adjusting the dosage of metosartan 50 to help regulate his pulse rate within a normal range.

I'm worried because I sometimes feel like my heart stops for a moment. I got an echo and an ECG done, but the doctor just gave me vitamin capsules. Should I be concerned about something more serious?
