I've been noticing that my heart is beating really fast and sometimes skips a beat, and it started about three weeks ago. I just turned 18 and have been masturbating a lot lately; I'm wondering if that's connected. I had an ECG done, and the doctor said my heart is fine, but it doesnt feel normal to me. My heart's never done this before. What steps can I take to get my heart rate back to normal?

I'm experiencing this strange vibration in my left chest and it sometimes spreads to my left hand. It's been happening for a few years whenever I cry, cough, or laugh. It feels like something's going to burst out of my chest. I'm a bit worried and not sure which kind of specialist I should see. Any recommendations?

See a specialist for accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment.

I'm having some trouble with my blood pressureit keeps staying high around 160111 and 155100 even after I've taken my medication. Can you help me understand why this might be happening and what I can do about it?

High blood pressure can be a serious condition if not properly controlled. I recommend you start taking Amlodipine (brand name Norvasc) 5mg once daily. Additionally, you can also add Hydrochlorothiazide (brand name Microzide) 12.5mg once daily to help lower your blood pressure. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and make lifestyle changes such as reducing salt intake, exercising regularly, and maintaining a healthy weight.
