I'm 30 and lately, I've been experiencing this weird sinking feeling in my chest, almost like a jump-sinking sensation. It just pops up randomly, any time of the day, and can last for a while. It's got me feeling uneasy, and I'm not sure what's going on. Can anyone help me figure this out?

View allI've been dealing with these palpitations for the past three years. I've gone through all the heart-related tests like ECG and 2Decho, and everything seems to be normal. I recovered from jaundice about five years ago, and I don't smoke or drink or have insomnia. But every time I eat or lie down comfortably, I start feeling this sensation in my throat and the back of my head. My blood pressure is typically around 12585, and my pulse is usually 100. But after meals, my BP creeps up to 13590, and my pulse hits 120. Doctors have suggested I take propranolol 10mg, but it doesnt seem to help. What could be going on?
Considering your symptoms and the ineffectiveness of propranolol, you may benefit from a calcium channel blocker such as Verapamil. I recommend taking Verapamil 120mg twice daily to help control your palpitations and regulate your heart rate. Additionally, practicing stress-reducing techniques and maintaining a healthy lifestyle can also help manage your symptoms.

I'm really worried about my father. He's had high blood pressure for about 20 days now. He's already a BP patient, but lately, his pressure is shooting up to around 16090. He was on promolate xl 25 before and now he's been switched to telvas 40 by the doctor. It doesn't seem to be helping control his blood pressure, though. Can you suggest anything that might help us manage this better?
It seems like your father's blood pressure is not well controlled with Telvas 40. In this case, the doctor may consider adding or adjusting the dosage of another medication. One common combination for high blood pressure is Telvas 40 (Telmisartan 40mg) along with Amlodipine (usually 5mg to 10mg). Amlodipine helps to further lower blood pressure by relaxing the blood vessels. However, the final decision on the medication and dosage should be made by your father's treating physician after a thorough evaluation. It is important to continue monitoring his blood pressure regularly and follow up with his doctor for further management.

I've been having chest pain on my left side and pain in my left hand for about 5 months now. On top of that, I've been dealing with a headache for the past 10 days, and sometimes I feel dizzy. The doctor had me do a TMT, ECHO, and ECG, but all those tests came out normal. I'm feeling pretty confused because my blood pressure often stays high, roughly around 120-130 over 75-85. I'm really not sure what's going on or what to do next. Any ideas on what could be causing these issues?
From the symptoms you have described, along with your normal TMT, ECHO, and ECG results, it is important to consider other possible causes for your chest pain, left hand pain, headache, and dizziness. Given your elevated blood pressure readings, it is possible that your symptoms could be related to hypertension. I recommend starting with lifestyle modifications such as reducing salt intake, maintaining a healthy weight, regular exercise, and stress management. In addition, you may benefit from medication to help control your blood pressure. I suggest starting with an antihypertensive medication like Losartan 50mg once daily to help lower your blood pressure and potentially alleviate your symptoms. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management. Remember to also follow a healthy diet, avoid smoking and excessive alcohol consumption, and prioritize regular physical activity to improve your overall cardiovascular health.
