Ive been feeling my heartbeat quite strongly when I lie down, especially after eating, like 23 hours later. It happens at night too when Im lying down. I had an ECG and echo, and they were normal, though the ECG did show sinus tachycardia. Also, my thyroid test came back normal. What should I do next?

View allI'm really confused right now. I went to a hospital because I was having some gastric problems, and the doctor there did a troponin test that came back positive at 0.03. Then, when I spoke to my family doctor, he suggested getting a second opinion, which I did at MMM. They said the results were negative. I'm stuck in this weird spot of not knowing what to believe or trust. Could you help me figure out what to do next?
It seems there is a discrepancy in the troponin test results between the two hospitals. Since the second opinion from MMM hospital came out as negative, it would be advisable to follow that result. In the case of gastric issues, you can take medications like Omeprazole (brand name: Prilosec) 20mg twice daily before meals for acid reflux. Additionally, you can take Simethicone (brand name: Gas-X) 125mg as needed for gas and bloating. Make sure to follow up with your family doctor for further guidance and monitoring of your gastric problem.

I'm a 47-year-old guy who's been taking Losartan for my high blood pressure for the past three years. It used to keep things stable, but for the last couple of weeks, my blood pressure has been running high. Do you think this medication is still the right choice for me? Should I consider adjusting the dose or maybe switching to a different medication? I'm quite concerned about these changes and want to make sure I'm managing my hypertension effectively.
Considering that your blood pressure has been on the higher side despite being on Losartan for 3 years, it may be necessary to reassess your treatment plan. Losartan is a common medication for hypertension, but sometimes a change in medication or dosage adjustment may be needed for better blood pressure control. I recommend consulting your healthcare provider to discuss the possibility of increasing the dosage of Losartan or adding another medication such as Amlodipine to better manage your blood pressure. It's important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and make any necessary adjustments under the guidance of your healthcare provider.

I'm trying to understand the difference between heart palpitations and arrhythmia. Could you explain how they're different and if one is more serious than the other?
A "heart palpitation" is the feeling of your heart racing, fluttering, or pounding in your chest, which can be caused by various factors including stress, caffeine, or even just a temporary electrical glitch in your heart, while an "arrhythmia" is a medical term for an abnormal heart rhythm, meaning your heart beats irregularly, too fast, or too slow, and can sometimes be a more serious underlying condition that may or may not cause noticeable palpitations
