I've been experiencing a lot of stiffness in my chest lately, and sometimes there's this pain that pops up on the left side, right side, or even in the center of my chest. I've had a chest CT, blood tests, and even an abdominal CT and ultrasound, and everything seems to come back normal. It's just really confusing and a bit worrying. What could be causing this if all the tests are normal?

Is it normal to feel your heartbeat at night? I've noticed that I'm getting anxious easily too. Could this be a sign of something wrong with my heart? I'm a bit worried.

Feeling your heart beating at night and experiencing anxiety could be related to a heart condition, but it could also be due to other factors such as stress, caffeine intake, or even sleep apnea. To address this issue, you can try taking a beta-blocker like Metoprolol (25-50mg) to help reduce your heart rate and anxiety symptoms. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques before bed and maintaining a healthy lifestyle can also help improve your symptoms.

Can I still have a heart rate of 125 and it be normal? I just recovered from being ill for two months and I'm feeling really weak. Should I be concerned about this or is it just part of my recovery?

A heart rate of 125 beats per minute can be considered high, especially at rest. It is important to monitor your heart rate and if it persists at this level, you should consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation. In the meantime, you can consider taking Metoprolol at a dosage of 25-100mg to help lower your heart rate. Additionally, make sure to rest, stay hydrated, and gradually increase your activity level as you continue to recover from your illness.

I'm really concerned about my blood pressure shooting up to 14090 all of a sudden. I've had high BP since I was 33, and now I'm 38. My weight is around 110 kg and I'm 5 feet 7 inches tall, so I know I'm quite obese. I stress out easily and can get pretty angry. There's been times I've broken stuff at home when my family doesnt listen to me. I had my heart checked by a cardiologist 1.5 years ago with an Echo and a TMT, and everything seemed fine, but my BP still spikes. I was initially prescribed Telma 40 mg, and now Im on Stamlo 5 mg daily. My heart rate jumps to 130 if I walk fast for just a kilometer. Is this normal? I'm also an asthma patient, and I find myself taking deep breaths a lot. Why do these sudden BP spikes and high heart rates happen to me?

Based on your description, it seems like you are experiencing episodes of sudden high blood pressure due to various factors such as obesity, stress, and possibly uncontrolled anger. The combination of these factors can contribute to spikes in blood pressure. It's good that you have been evaluated by a Cardiologist and have undergone tests to rule out any underlying heart issues. To help manage your blood pressure, you are currently taking Stamlo 5mg, which is a brand name for Amlodipine. This medication helps to relax the blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more easily and lowering blood pressure. In addition to this, it is important to make lifestyle changes such as maintaining a healthy weight, reducing stress through relaxation techniques or counseling, and addressing anger management. Regarding your heart rate reaching 130 beats per minute during physical activity, it can be considered normal for some individuals, especially if you are not used to regular exercise. However, since you are also an Asthma patient, it is important to monitor your heart rate during physical activity and consult with your healthcare provider if you experience any concerning symptoms. Overall, it is essential to continue taking your medication as prescribed, make necessary lifestyle modifications, and keep track of your blood pressure regularly. If you have any further concerns or if your symptoms persist, please consult with your healthcare provider for a personalized treatment plan.
