I've been noticing some skipped beats, like a big thump happening at least twice a day. I'm wondering what might be causing this. I don't usually take naps during the day. Could that be related somehow? It's a bit concerning.

Having skipped beats, also known as palpitations, can be caused by various factors. Since you are experiencing this sensation at least twice a day, it is important to investigate further. One common cause of palpitations is caffeine intake, so I would recommend reducing your consumption of caffeinated beverages such as coffee, tea, and energy drinks. Stress and anxiety can also trigger palpitations, so practicing relaxation techniques like deep breathing or meditation may be helpful. Additionally, certain medications or underlying heart conditions could be contributing to your symptoms. It would be advisable to consult a healthcare professional for a thorough evaluation and appropriate management.

I'm a bit concerned about this flickering feeling I've been having in my right chest for the past 45 days. Sometimes it also aches a little, and it happens regularly, like every 15 to 20 minutes, lasting for about 45 seconds. It's near the rib area, and I've noticed my heart's beating faster too. My blood pressure is 13086. Is this something serious? I don't have any other issues, no cough or fever, and I can breathe fine, but this has got me worried. What could it be?

I'm trying to come off the beta blockers my doctor prescribed for the heart palpitations linked to my anxiety. I'm a bit worried about the process and wondering if stopping them might lead to any issues or side effects afterward. Can you help guide me on what to expect and how to do this safely?
To come off beta blockers that were prescribed for anxiety symptoms like heart palpitations, it is important to gradually taper off the medication under the supervision of your healthcare provider. Abruptly stopping beta blockers can lead to rebound symptoms such as increased heart rate, blood pressure, and anxiety. One common beta blocker used for anxiety symptoms is Propranolol. Your doctor may gradually reduce your dosage over a period of time to minimize withdrawal symptoms. It is important to follow your doctor's instructions carefully during this process. After stopping beta blockers, some individuals may experience a temporary increase in heart rate and blood pressure. However, these symptoms typically subside as your body adjusts to being off the medication. If you have any concerns or experience any troubling symptoms during the tapering process, be sure to contact your healthcare provider for further guidance.
