I'm curious about why my blood pressure spikes to 180100 during times of aggression, while it's usually around 11080 or 12080 when I'm calm. I don't have diabetes or thyroid issues, and my echo, ECG, and TMT results are normal. My lipid profile shows LDL at 60, HDL at 37, and total cholesterol at 110. Is there any underlying pathological condition that could be causing these blood pressure fluctuations?

Aggression or stress can indeed cause a temporary spike in blood pressure. Since your heart tests and lipid profile are normal, the elevated blood pressure may be due to situational factors. However, it is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and consider lifestyle modifications. In case of persistent high blood pressure, your doctor may prescribe medications like Amlodipine 5mg or Losartan 50mg to help keep it under control.

View allI've been noticing for the past 4 years that my heart occasionally skips a beat or flutters, but it's been happening much more frequently lately. It gets me really anxious each time, even though I dont have any other symptoms apart from the anxiety. Can you guide me on what might be going on?

I've noticed that my resting pulse rate usually hovers around 90, although it can dip slightly below that sometimes. Is this normal for me? Also, I've observed that my pulse rate spikes to around 120 after I eat and take a light walk, like after lunch. Is this something I should be concerned about? Just a month ago, I went for a health check-up, and both the ECG and 2D echo turned out normal. I'd love to get your thoughts on this.
A resting pulse rate of around 90 beats per minute can be considered within the normal range, although it is on the higher side. It is normal for the pulse rate to increase after eating or during physical activity. A pulse rate of around 120 beats per minute while walking after lunch is also within normal limits, especially if you were engaging in mild physical activity. Since your ECG and 2D echo results were normal one month back, it is reassuring that there are no underlying heart conditions causing these pulse rate variations. However, if you continue to have concerns about your pulse rate, it would be advisable to monitor it regularly and consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and advice on managing your pulse rate.
