I've been noticing that my heart often beats really strongly, and this has been going on for several years now. Last year, I got an ECG and the doctor said I have high blood pressure and some other issues, recommending that I see a cardiologist. What could be causing these strong heartbeats, and should I be concerned about the high blood pressure?

It sounds like you may be experiencing palpitations due to your high blood pressure. To help manage your symptoms, you can consider taking Metoprolol (brand name Lopressor) at a dosage of 25-100mg once daily. However, it is important to follow up with a cardiologist for further evaluation and management of your heart condition.

View allI've been noticing that my heart rate seems to spike all of a sudden whenever I get out of bed or even if I just switch sides while lying down. Is this something I should be worried about?
heart rate increases suddenly after changing positions may be due to a condition called postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS). It is recommended to consult a doctor for proper diagnosis and treatment plan. In the meantime, you can try increasing your fluid and salt intake, wearing compression stockings, and doing exercises to improve blood flow such as leg raises and calf pumps. If symptoms persist, medications such as midodrine or fludrocortisone may be prescribed to help regulate your heart rate.

I'm really confused and anxious about my heart health. Even though my CT angiography and troponin tests came back negative with no blockages, I can't shake this worry. I've been taking Concor 5 in the morning, and Cardace 5 and Ceruvin A at night. I also lost weight and quit smoking over the last year and a half. But I still keep stressing over the possibility of a heart attack. My blood pressure usually stays under control, between 12080 to 13085, but it tends to spike when I'm feeling really anxious about my heart. What should I do about these feelings and my health?
No need to worry,you are doing good maintain the same healthy life style,and you are using protective medicines already soo the risk of heartatack is already taken care,take adequate rest and have a regular follow up with your doctor
