I've been experiencing some weird noises coming from my chest and stomach, kind of like gurgling sounds. It started happening a lot, then stopped for about a month, but now it's back again. I'm confused if it's related to gas or something else. I've checked my pulse when it happens, and sometimes it pauses, but I'm not sure if I'm just not focusing enough because of the noise. It kind of feels like when your stomach growls from hunger, but it's happening in my chest. I've had PVCs with bigeminy and couplets, and once there was sinus tachycardia. I used to take beta blockers for anxiety, but I stopped at some point. Do you think this gurgling is related to my heart somehow? I also had acid reflux issues about two years ago, if that's relevant. My throat makes noises too. Is this something to worry about?

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?

Yes you can stop the drug and check your BP daily for 2 weeks if its maintained normal,you can pause the drug an dcontinue healthy life style

My mom recently had an angioplasty done for two of her blocked arteries, and now she's showing some signs that make me worry there might be more blockages. Is there a way to check for blockages without having to go through another angiography? Would really appreciate your advice on this.

can undergo a CT angiography to detect any further blockage without going through another angiography. It is a non-invasive imaging test that can provide detailed images of the blood vessels. The doctor may prescribe medications like Atorvastatin to manage cholesterol levels and Clopidogrel to prevent blood clots. Regular follow-up with the cardiologist is important to monitor her condition.
