I've noticed my heart rate goes up to 110 or 120 beats per minute when I eat breakfast or lunch, and then it drops back to around 90 afterwards. I'm keeping track of this with my smart band. Is this something I should be concerned about?

I'm having some trouble with my blood pressure meds. I've been on Tazloc 40 and Nebicard 2.5 once a day, and while they help with my BP and pulse, I'm dealing with nasal blockage, ear infections, and respiratory issues. I tried LN Bloc and Ivabradine like my doctor suggested, and that solved the breathing problems, but my BP and pulse aren't as controlled. Switching to LN Bloc 10 twice a day with Nebicard 2.5 worked for my BP and pulse, but those side effects came back. Now my doctor is suggesting benidipine and ivabradine, and it's getting pretty confusing with all the changes. Is benidipine a good option, or is there something else I should try that won't cause the breathing issues or head congestion?
Benidipine is a calcium channel blocker that can be used to treat high blood pressure. It is generally well-tolerated, but like any medication, it can have side effects. If you are experiencing nasal blockage, ear infection, and respiratory issues with your current medications, it may be worth trying a different class of antihypertensive medication. One option to consider is an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor such as Enalapril. ACE inhibitors are known to be effective in treating high blood pressure and have a lower incidence of respiratory side effects compared to some other classes of antihypertensive medications. Another option is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) such as Losartan. ARBs work in a similar way to ACE inhibitors but may be better tolerated in some individuals. It is important to discuss these options with your doctor to determine the best course of action for your specific situation. They can provide guidance on the appropriate dosage and monitor your response to the new medication.

I've been having a tough time over the past couple of years with losing my job and family issues. Lately, I've been feeling this crushing sensation in my chest at times. A few years back, I was told I have mild mitral valve prolapse, but I never started any medication for it. I feel mild pain sometimes, but it never lasts more than two weeks. I'm trying to figure out if this chest pain is because of stress or my MVP. Ive also been feeling really down and anxious, especially at night, often ending up in tears. Some people close to me think I might have some psychological issues. What should I do?
It sounds like you are going through a lot of stress and emotional turmoil. The chest pain you are experiencing could be related to both stress and your history of mild mitral valve prolapse. It is important to address both the physical and emotional aspects of your health. For the chest pain related to mitral valve prolapse, you should consult with a doctor to determine if any medication or treatment is necessary. In the meantime, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen to help with the pain. To address the stress and emotional issues you are facing, it would be beneficial to seek therapy or counseling to help you cope with your feelings of depression and anxiety. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques such as deep breathing, meditation, or yoga can also be helpful in managing stress. In terms of medication, you can consider taking an antidepressant such as sertraline at a low dose to help with your depressive symptoms. It is important to consult with a doctor before starting any new medication to ensure it is safe for you. Remember to prioritize self-care, reach out to supportive friends and family members, and consider joining a support group to connect with others who may be going through similar experiences. Take care of yourself and know that it is okay to seek help when needed.
