I'm experiencing palpitations when I'm sitting and even while trying to sleep, and it's really starting to scare me. Is it possible for someone to sense their own arrhythmia, or should I be worried about something else?

Yes, patients can sometimes sense arrhythmias themselves, especially when they experience symptoms like palpitations. In your case, since you are feeling palpitations while sitting and sleeping, it is important to consult a doctor for further evaluation. In the meantime, you can try taking a low dose of beta-blockers like Metoprolol (25-50mg) to help control your palpitations.

Why does my doctor want to change my BP medication from Olmesar H 20 to T Nabicar 5Mg? My BP seems under control and my pulse rate is usually between 90-100, though it goes from 100 to 130 during the TMT. My triglycerides are at 201 but all other cholesterol and kidney tests came back normal. They've also suggested I start taking Atorva 10Mg. Can you help me understand if switching to these new meds is the right move?

Based on your doctor's recommendation, it would be advisable to switch from Olmesar H 20 to T Nabicar 5mg for better management of your blood pressure. Additionally, starting Atorva 10mg can help in lowering your triglyceride levels. It seems like a reasonable adjustment to your medication regimen to further improve your cardiovascular health.
