I've been taking a combo of moduretic and lisinopril for a few years now, with 20mg of lisinopril and 5mg of moduretic. I'm 40 years old, weigh 120kg, and I'm 6ft tall. I try to stay active by working out three times a week. But anytime I push myself a bit, like getting to sleep late, having a few extra drinks, or dealing with stress, my blood pressure seems to get really resistant for days. Is there something I'm missing or should be doing differently?

View allI'm feeling a tickling sensation in my chest and what's kind of like fluttering, which makes me anxious and sad. It's also strange because I get this mild headache only at night. Any idea what might be going on?
To help alleviate these symptoms, you can try taking over-the-counter medication such as paracetamol for the headache. Additionally, you can consider using anti-anxiety medication such as lorazepam at a low dose to help with the feelings of anxiety and sadness. It is important to consult with a doctor before starting any new medication.

I'm experiencing some discomfort after meals. Whenever I eat a heavy meal, I get this left-sided chest pain, and I notice my resting heart rate shoots up to around 100, even though it's usually about 70. It gets worse with any kind of light activity like walking or climbing stairs but seems to settle down after a few hours. I did have some heart tests, like an ECG, echo, and TMT about six months ago, and they all came back normal. My blood tests are fine toono anemia, high blood pressure, or sugar issues. Should I be considering any other tests or looking into something else? Its starting to worry me.
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) or acid reflux. The chest pain after eating heavy meals, along with the increased heart rate and chest discomfort with light activity, are common symptoms of GERD. Since your heart tests were normal, it is less likely to be related to a cardiac issue. I recommend trying over-the-counter antacids like Tums or Rolaids to see if they help alleviate your symptoms. You can also try avoiding heavy meals, eating smaller meals more frequently, and avoiding lying down immediately after eating. Additionally, you may benefit from medications like omeprazole (Prilosec) or ranitidine (Zantac) to reduce stomach acid production. If your symptoms persist despite these measures, you may consider undergoing an upper endoscopy to further evaluate the cause of your symptoms. This procedure can help identify any inflammation or damage in the esophagus or stomach. Overall, it is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management of your symptoms.

I've just had a 2D echo because I was experiencing chest pain, and I'm currently breastfeeding. Could you take a look at the results? I'm really worried about whether mild TR is something to be concerned about. Would love your insight on this situation.
Mild tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is a common finding in many people and is often not a cause for concern. However, since you are experiencing chest pain and are a breastfeeding mother, it is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for a thorough evaluation. In the meantime, you can take Acetaminophen (Tylenol) 500mg every 4-6 hours as needed for chest pain relief.
