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?

My dad is 61 and had CABG surgery two weeks ago with 4 grafts. He's also diabetic. How long will his recovery take to get back to normal and can we expect any future heart issues after the bypass
It typically takes 6-12 weeks to recover fully from coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery, but individual recovery times can vary. After the initial recovery period, most individuals can resume normal activities, but the possibility of future heart issues, like graft blockage or progression of other heart conditions, remains

I'm having some trouble with breathlessness and occasional chest pain. I got an ECG, and it came back normal, but a 2D echo showed mild concentric LVH with reduced diastolic compliance, grade 1. Everything else seemed fine. My hemoglobin is at 6.7, blood pressure at 16090, and pulse at 105. Cholesterol levels are total 149, triglycerides 94, HDL 55, and LDL 100. I also have some gastric issues, and the breathlessness feels better after I burp. Do you think this is something I should be worried about, or is it okay?
Given your symptoms of breathlessness and chest pain, the mild concentric LVH with reduced diastolic compliance noted in your 2D echo, high blood pressure of 16090, and significantly low hemoglobin level of 6.7, there are multiple areas needing attention. While your ECG and cholesterol levels are normal, the combination of LVH, hypertension, and anemia requires medical management. Addressing your anemia is crucial, as it can contribute to your breathlessness and fatigue. Managing your blood pressure through medication adjustments and lifestyle changes is also important. Since your breathlessness is relieved by burping, addressing any gastrointestinal issues such as acid reflux is necessary. Follow up with your cardiologist for ongoing monitoring and management of the LVH and reduced diastolic compliance.
