Accepted Answer

"I recommend you take Amlodipine (brand name Norvasc) 5mg once daily for high blood pressure. For your elevated heart rate, you can take Metoprolol (brand name Lopressor) 25mg twice daily. Make sure to monitor your blood pressure and heart rate regularly."

It sounds like you may be experiencing episodes of arrhythmia, given your symptoms of irregular heartbeats with variations in speed. Since your echo and blood tests came back normal, and your ECGs have shown Incomplete Right Bundle Branch Block (IRBBB) with a normal sinus rhythm, it's important to further investigate the cause of your arrhythmias. One possible reason for your symptoms could be Atrial Fibrillation (AF), which can sometimes be difficult to detect on ECGs. I recommend discussing with your healthcare provider about possibly wearing a Holter monitor or undergoing a cardiac event monitor to capture your heart's electrical activity over an extended period. This can help in identifying any underlying arrhythmias such as paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. In the meantime, to help manage your symptoms, you can consider taking a medication like Metoprolol (brand name: Lopressor) at a low dose under the guidance of your healthcare provider. Metoprolol is a beta-blocker that can help regulate your heart rate and reduce the frequency of irregular heartbeats. The usual starting dose for Metoprolol is 25mg to 50mg once daily, but your doctor will determine the appropriate dosage for you based on your individual health needs.

The tests you mentioned (ECG, echo, TMT) are typically valid for a short period of time, usually a few days to weeks. Since your symptoms are persisting despite normal test results, it's important to consider other possibilities. It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of anxiety or acid reflux, which can sometimes mimic heart-related issues. To help with the burning sensation in your left arm, neck, shoulder, and back, as well as the feeling of something stuck in your throat, you can try taking antacids like **Tums** (dosage: 2 tablets as needed) for relief. For the chest discomfort and palpitations, you can take **Atenolol** (dosage: 25-50mg once a day) to help with the palpitations and anxiety symptoms. However, it's important to consult with a cardiologist or a gastroenterologist for further evaluation and management of your symptoms. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it's important to seek further medical advice for a proper evaluation and treatment plan.
