I've been experiencing really strong heartbeats two or three times a day for the last year and a half, especially when I'm doing anything physical. Otherwise, my blood pressure seems normal. I'm feeling pretty scared about this. Should I see a doctor?

It sounds like you may be experiencing episodes of palpitations. In such cases, it is important to rule out any underlying heart conditions. You can try taking Metoprolol (brand name: Lopressor) 25mg once a day to help control your heart rate and reduce the intensity of palpitations. However, it is advisable to consult a doctor for a proper evaluation and further management.

View allMy dad is 55 and just had a treadmill test that showed inducible ischemia. The doctor recommended an angio does this mean there's a blockage? Can this be treated with meds or will he need surgery? If it gets treated, could it come back later? Also, does this raise his risk of heart failure? Really concerned about what this means for him.
TMT positive suggests that certain part of the heart is not receiving adequate blood supply in the time of stress which means that there has to be some amount of blockage in the blood vessels supplying blood to the heart so 2 things should be done Medications like blood thinners cholesterol and others heart medication used to be started and will continue for at least a long time if not life long And a coronary or CT angiography needs to be done to check the percentage of blockage and the location and intensity of severity of disease according to to which the treatment will depend so I will advise you to get the above tests done as soon as possible because he carries a risk of eminent heart attack with TMT positive

I've been feeling like my heart is racing constantly, almost like how when I'm really stressed or anxious. Could it be related to sinus tachycardia, and what symptoms should I look out for? Should I be worried about this, or does it normally resolve on its own?

Been dealing with heart palpitations for about 3 weeks now and it's starting to worry me a bit. I'm taking hypertension meds and Prozac at 10mg. I've had these palpitations before, around 2 weeks, but they went away and my doctor said everything was fine with my heart then. Any thoughts on what might be going on or if there's something else I should consider? Should I be concerned this time?
See a specialist for accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment.
