Ive been noticing that when I lie down, especially on my side, I can really feel my heartbeat, and it's hard to focus on anything else. What could be causing this? Any advice would be appreciated.

Feeling your heartbeat more prominently when lying down, especially on your side, can be due to a condition called palpitations. This can be caused by various factors such as anxiety, stress, caffeine intake, or even certain medications. To help alleviate this sensation, you can try taking a beta-blocker medication like Metoprolol (25-50mg) once daily. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques and reducing caffeine consumption may also help.

View allI'm a bit worried about my resting pulse rate, which is around 55 to 60, but when I work out it goes up to 75 to 80. My ECG and lipid profile are normal, and I take Telpres CT for my blood pressure, which is also normal. I'm curious if this medication could be what's making my pulse lower. Should I be concerned about my resting pulse rate, or is this within a normal range?
Your resting pulse rate of 55 to 60 beats per minute is within the normal range for adults, especially if you are physically active. When you workout, it is normal for your pulse rate to increase to 75 to 80 beats per minute. Telpres CT is a combination medication that contains Telmisartan and Chlorthalidone, which is commonly used to treat high blood pressure. Telpres CT, specifically the Chlorthalidone component, can sometimes cause a slight decrease in heart rate as a side effect. However, in your case, with a resting pulse rate of 55 to 60, it is more likely that your lower pulse rate is due to your good physical fitness rather than the medication. As your ECG and lipid profile reports are normal, and you are maintaining a normal blood pressure with Telpres CT, there is no need to be concerned about your pulse rate. It is important to continue monitoring your blood pressure regularly and follow up with your healthcare provider for any concerns.

I've been dealing with chest pain for quite a while now, and I just found out from an ECG that everything's normal. The pain isn't in one specific spot; sometimes it's on the left side, right side, or even lower down. Im starting to think it might be muscle-related. Is there something specific I can take for muscle pain? On top of that, I've noticed I get short of breath easily. I've been really inactive the past few months, barely moving at all, so Im wondering if this lack of exercise could be causing my stamina to drop and making me feel breathless. Could that be the case?

I'm really worried because last night my pulse rate was 130 after dinner, and I ended up taking Metocard XL 25 before heading to the hospital. They did an ECG and just sent me back home. But today, I've been feeling the same way. What should I do? Any suggestions?
It seems like you are experiencing a high pulse rate. Metocard XL 25 is a brand name for Metoprolol, which is a beta-blocker medication. In this case, you can continue taking Metocard XL 25 as prescribed by your doctor. Additionally, you may also consider lifestyle modifications such as reducing stress, avoiding caffeine, and getting regular exercise. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
