I've been experiencing some pain on the left side of my chest, right around my heart, and I'm also having a lot of burping, indigestion, and gas issues. I'm trying to figure out if this is something to do with my heart or maybe it's just my stomach acting up. What kind of doctor should I see for this?

I'm a bit worried about my blood pressure readings over the past two days. They've been around 10476, 11076, 10583, and 10366. This started after I switched my medication from Metoprolol 50 mg to Tazloc CT 406.25 about 10 days ago. Are these readings considered low? Could you please tell me what would be considered low blood pressure?
The blood pressure readings you have provided are within the normal range. Low blood pressure is typically considered to be a systolic pressure less than 90 mmHg and a diastolic pressure less than 60 mmHg. Since your readings are consistently above these values, your blood pressure is not considered low. Regarding the medication change from metoprolol to tazloc CT-406.25, it seems to be working well for you as your blood pressure readings are within the normal range. Keep monitoring your blood pressure regularly and consult your doctor if you have any concerns

I've been having palpitations for a year, so I went for a full body check, and they told me I have mitral valve prolapse which was supposedly causing the palpitations. I was advised to do cardio exercises, and I've been good with that. Recently though, the palpitations have become worse, especially when I lie flat, and it's been keeping me up at night. I'm also feeling anxious at bedtime, but I'm fine otherwise. It's really affecting my sleep and overall quality of life. Do you think I should see a doctor about this?
Yes, it is important to seek medical attention for your worsening symptoms. In your case, since you have a history of mitral valve prolapse and severe palpitations affecting your quality of life, it is recommended to consult a cardiologist for further evaluation and management. The doctor may prescribe medications such as Metoprolol (25-50mg) to help control your palpitations and anxiety symptoms. Additionally, they may suggest lifestyle modifications and relaxation techniques to help improve your sleep quality and overall well-being.
