I've been feeling my heartbeat in my stomach when I'm lying down, and it's like my stomach moves with each beat. My ECG came out normal, so I'm not sure what's going on. What steps should I take next?

This sensation could be due to a condition called pulsatile tinnitus, where you perceive your heartbeat in your abdomen. Since your ECG is normal, it is less likely to be related to a heart issue. However, it is important to rule out other potential causes. I recommend you consult with a healthcare provider for further evaluation. In the meantime, you can try managing stress and anxiety, as they can sometimes exacerbate this sensation.

I'm really worried about my dad who's 59 and just got told he has a 'Non specific T abnormality' and 'Flat T wave' in his ECG. He's had a 2D echo too, showing a 60 LVEF and no RWMA at rest. Is this something we should be concerned about?

I'm really worried about my dad. He's been on metosartan 25mg for about three weeks now, and the doctor recently told him to switch to 50mg. Despite this and his efforts like walking and cutting down on salt, his blood pressure still isn't going down. Is there anything else we can do to help reduce his BP?
