Why does my heart start racing for about an hour after I have lunch or eat a heavy meal? I've been on Concor 1.25 mg for two weeks now. My echocardiogram, ECG, Holter monitor, and cholesterol, including LDL levels, all came back okay. I've been diagnosed with panic disorder, but I'm worried if there's a connection here. Any insights?

It sounds like you may be experiencing episodes of tachycardia after meals. Since your heart tests and cholesterol levels are normal, and you have been diagnosed with panic disorder, the fast heart rate may be related to anxiety or panic attacks. In addition to Concor (Bisoprolol) 1.25mg, you can try taking a medication called Propranolol 10mg as needed to help with the rapid heart rate. Propranolol is a beta-blocker that can help control the physical symptoms of anxiety, including tachycardia. It is important to discuss this with your doctor to see if it is suitable for you and to determine the appropriate dosage for your specific situation.

View allI'm curious about my heart rate, which seems to be consistently between 90 and 110 beats per minute. Is this natural, or should I be concerned about any possible heart issues? I don't have any known heart problems, but I'm wondering if it's something I should get checked out just to be safe. What do you think?
A heart rate of 90 to 110 beats per minute can be considered normal for adults at rest. However, it is always important to monitor your heart rate and consult with your healthcare provider for personalized advice. If you are looking to lower your heart rate for preventive measures, you can try medications like Metoprolol (brand name: Lopressor) at a dosage of 25-100mg per day as prescribed by your doctor.

I'm dealing with depression and recently had some heart tests done - my TMT came back negative, and both my ECG and echo were normal. However, my doctor prescribed me macsart 40 for blood pressure. I'm confused and a bit worried. Why would they prescribe BP medicine if my tests are normal? Any advice would be appreciated.
