My mom is 46 and she's been taking medication for her blood pressure, but it's been pretty low lately. I'm really worried this could cause her blood pressure to drop even more. What can we do to help increase it?

I'm really worried because last year I had strong issues with acidity, anxiety, and headaches. I even got an ECG in June 2018, and everything was normal back then. But since January 2019, I've been experiencing these sudden strong heartbeats that feel like a thump in my chest, even when Im just walking around. It's really upsetting and makes me anxious for days, thinking about why it's happening. Lately, I cant sleep at night and sometimes feel really empty and lacking enthusiasm.

If youre feeling stuck, consider discussing these issues further with your doctor or a mental health professional.

Given all this, do you have any idea what might be going on or what I can do about this? It's really concerning, and I'd love some guidance.

Since all the reports are normal ,advised a psychiatric opinion for diagnosis of anxiety and other conditions..
