I've been noticing my heart beating really noticeably when I'm lying down. My ECG came out normal, and the doctor mentioned it's palpitations and gave me some medication for it. Any idea how long it might take before the palpitations go away?

The duration for palpitations to improve can vary depending on the individual and the specific medication prescribed. However, in general, you may start to notice an improvement in your palpitations within a few days to a couple of weeks after starting the medication. It is important to take the medication as prescribed by your doctor and follow up with them for any necessary adjustments.

I've been dealing with anxiety-induced tachycardia and my resting heart rate used to be around 100-130 with a blood pressure of 130-14070-80 for the past year. My doctor prescribed Ciplar LA 40 mg and Amitone 10 mg, which I've been taking for the past four days. I've noticed my resting heart rate has dropped to between 70-85 and my blood pressure is now around 11080. There's another option, Metoprolol 25 mg, and I'm curious if it's a better choice for me to use just for a month. What would you suggest?

For anxiety-induced tachycardia, both Ciplar LA (propranolol) 40 mg and Metoprolol 25 mg are commonly used beta-blockers to help control heart rate and blood pressure. In your case, since you have already started taking Ciplar LA 40 mg and have noticed an improvement in your resting heart rate and blood pressure within 4 days, it seems to be working well for you. Therefore, I would recommend continuing with Ciplar LA 40 mg for the next month as prescribed by your doctor. It has shown effectiveness in reducing your heart rate and maintaining a normal blood pressure range. Make sure to follow your doctor's instructions regarding dosage and duration of treatment.

I'm really concerned because my heart pumping has reduced to 30. Is it better to start on medication right away or should I consider other treatments? Also, could yoga be an effective option for dealing with this issue? I could really use some guidance on this.

Heart pumping reduce to 30% can be a serious condition and may require medical intervention. To improve heart function and manage symptoms, I would recommend starting with medication such as Carvedilol at a dosage of 6.25mg twice daily, along with Lisinopril at a dosage of 10mg once daily. These medications can help improve heart function and reduce strain on the heart. In addition to medication, regular exercise, such as yoga, can also be beneficial. Yoga can help reduce stress, improve circulation, and strengthen the heart muscles. Poses such as the Mountain Pose, Warrior Pose, and Bridge Pose can be particularly helpful. However, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new exercise regimen to ensure it is safe for your condition.
