I've been dealing with palpitations and high blood pressure diagnosed at 140 over 90 around four months ago. They did an ECG and ECHO, and those came back normal. I was prescribed Telma 20 and Ivabradine 5mg for the BP and palpitations. I recently stopped taking Telma 20 for a few days to keep an eye on my BP, and it settled at a constant 130 over 76. Do you think I should stop taking the BP meds altogether, or is it better to keep going with them? I've also made some lifestyle and diet changes. What do you suggest?

I'm a 28-year-old woman and I've noticed something odd with my heart rate. Even though I don't have any family history of heart disease and I'm generally healthy, my heart suddenly races from normal up to 127 to 170 bpm. This happens when I'm just resting or even asleep and can last for 5 to 15 minutes each time. It occurs about 2 to 5 times a day and I've been experiencing this since I was 7 years old. I'm starting to get a bit worried about it. What could be causing this?

I'm feeling a sharp, current-like pain whenever I'm doing household chores or lifting my child. It lasts for a few minutes. I've had an ECG and an echo done, and both came back normal. I'm really struggling to get things done around the house because of this pain. Any idea what it might be or what I can do about it?
