I've been dealing with these palpitations for the past three years. I've gone through all the heart-related tests like ECG and 2Decho, and everything seems to be normal. I recovered from jaundice about five years ago, and I don't smoke or drink or have insomnia. But every time I eat or lie down comfortably, I start feeling this sensation in my throat and the back of my head. My blood pressure is typically around 12585, and my pulse is usually 100. But after meals, my BP creeps up to 13590, and my pulse hits 120. Doctors have suggested I take propranolol 10mg, but it doesnt seem to help. What could be going on?

Considering your symptoms and the ineffectiveness of propranolol, you may benefit from a calcium channel blocker such as Verapamil. I recommend taking Verapamil 120mg twice daily to help control your palpitations and regulate your heart rate. Additionally, practicing stress-reducing techniques and maintaining a healthy lifestyle can also help manage your symptoms.

View allI'm feeling pretty anxious because my ECG report showed T wave inversion, but the TMT test came back normal. I've attached both reports. Since finding out about the T wave inversion, I've started experiencing some chest pressure and slight pain, which I didn't feel before. I'm really concerned whether this could be something serious or if it's just stress-related. Any insight on why this might be happening?
T wave inversion on ECG can sometimes be a normal variant, especially if the TMT test is normal. However, since you are experiencing chest pressure and slight pain, it is important to further evaluate the cause. In this case, considering your symptoms, it would be advisable to start medication to relieve chest pressure and pain. you can take Tablet Ranitidine 150mg twice a day to reduce any acid-related symptoms that may be causing chest discomfort. It is also important to manage stress through relaxation techniques and regular exercise. If the symptoms persist or worsen, further evaluation by a cardiologist may be necessary.

I've been really worried about whether a TMT or an echo is better for checking for blockages. I mean, if I want to make sure nothing's wrong, which test should I go for?
echo is better advised for heart blocks

I'm really worried because my father has an LVEF of 35% as per his 2D echo report. I'm trying to figure out what kind of treatment he might need. Should we be considering an angiography? He hasn't had a heart attack and doesn't feel any chest pain. I did some reading and think maybe it's arrhythmia because about three years ago, he nearly fainted while cycling due to stress. Since then, he's been on medication for hypertension. Could you tell me what steps we should take next?
Since the patients LVEF (left ventricular ejection fraction) is 35.. indicates that he is having severe heart damage .. Some of the causes uncontrolled hypertension , heart muscle diseasesex cardiomyopathy, heart attack and heart valve issues..Angiography is needed since echo report reveals severe heart dysfunction.Treatment invoves ACE inhibitors ,calcium channel blockers and beta blockers..
