I've been noticing my heart feels like it's pounding pretty hard, especially after eating. Before meals, my blood pressure seems normal, but once I've had something to eat, it shoots up to around 130. Could this be linked to any vitamin deficiencies I'm not aware of?

The symptoms you are experiencing may be related to a condition called postprandial hypotension, which is a sudden drop in blood pressure after eating. To help manage this, you can try increasing your fluid and salt intake, eating smaller meals more frequently, and avoiding high-carb or high-sugar foods. Additionally, you may benefit from taking medications like Midodrine to help stabilize your blood pressure. However, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

View allI had a TMT test in February 2019 and an Echo in April 2020, and both were normal, but I'm still experiencing a lot of symptoms. I've been having chest discomfort that moves to my throat and arm for over two years now. I get ECGs done twice every month since 2019, and they only show sinus tachycardia. How long should I trust the normal TMT results? Since it's not COVID causing this, I keep wondering if I should repeat the TMT and Echo. What do you think?

Hey, I'm really worried about heart blockages and was wondering if there are any medicines or foods that can help reduce them, maybe even by half or some percentage, if I take them regularly?
There are medications that can help reduce heart blockage, such as statins like Atorvastatin or Rosuvastatin. These medications help lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of plaque buildup in the arteries. It is important to take these medications as prescribed by your doctor. Additionally, incorporating a healthy diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins can also help improve heart health and reduce the progression of heart blockage. Regular exercise and maintaining a healthy weight are also important factors in reducing heart blockage.

I'm experiencing some pinching and squeezing chest pains, and my heart rate seems to jump between 80 and 120 with some palpitations. The pain tends to be worse in the afternoons after I eat, but it also happens in the evenings, especially when I start thinking about stuff, even small thoughts make my heart rate go up but it does slow down after I get myself to calm down. I've done multiple ECGs, TM tests, and echoes, and they've all been normal so far. There is sinus tachycardia, though. I don't smoke or drink, but I'm dealing with a lot of anxiety and worry. My cholesterol is at 240 and my blood pressure is around 13090. My sugar levels are almost normal and I weigh 70 kgs with a 5.5 height. I follow a light veg South rice diet and don't eat meat. What's causing this chest pain and geyser-like hot sensation? It's really unsettling and causing me some social anxiety. I'm not married and I don't really have much of a social life. What should I do?
