I'm a bit concerned because my systolic blood pressure has been hovering around 130, but I've noticed that my diastolic is consistently above 90 or even 95. I'm really worried about why my diastolic BP is always on the higher side. Could you tell me what kind of tests or investigations might be needed for this?

View allI've had a chest X-ray done and they tested the size of my heart wall. They said everything's okay with my heart, but I'm still wondering, is it normal to have the same weight of 65 kg for the past 2 years? Should I be concerned about anything despite the tests being clear?

I've noticed when I'm lying down that I can really feel my heartbeat in my left chest and sometimes even in other parts of my body. I've already had an ECG, echo, and TMT, and they all came back normal. My anxiety has been under control, but this is still happening. Could it be something else or is this just something normal?
can be due to benign causes such as heightened awareness of your heartbeat (palpitations) or muscle twitching. This can be exacerbated by anxiety. To help alleviate these symptoms, you can try taking a beta-blocker medication like Metoprolol (25-50mg) once daily to reduce the sensation of palpitations. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques such as deep breathing exercises or yoga can also be beneficial in managing these symptoms.

I'm just curious about some things regarding my health. I had a CT angio three years ago and it came back normal. Im wondering, how long are these results usually considered valid or acceptable? Also, Ive been on Lodoz 2.5 for about three months now. Before I started the medication, my blood pressure was around 120 to 130, and it's still in that range after taking the medicine. However, I've noticed my heart rate is now between 55 and 65. Is that normal, or should I be thinking about stopping the meds? By the way, I'm 5'7" and weigh 82 kg. Any advice on this would really help!
A normal CT angiography from three years ago is generally considered reliable, but its crucial to continue regular check-ups, especially if you have ongoing symptoms or risk factors for heart disease. Lodoz (which contains bisoprolol and hydrochlorothiazide) is prescribed to manage blood pressure and heart rate. Your current blood pressure of 120-130 mmHg and heart rate of 55-65 bpm are within reasonable ranges, especially if you are asymptomatic. Do not stop your medication without consulting your healthcare provider, as they can assess your overall health, review your medication needs, and decide on the best course of action. They might also suggest lifestyle changes, such as regular exercise, a healthy diet, and weight management, to further support your heart health.
