I'm feeling a strong pulse in my chest and throat when I'm sleeping. If I stay in the same position for about half an hour, I really start to notice it, but it seems to stop when I change positions. During the day, I'm super energetic and don't have any issues, but this pulse thing keeps happening at night when I'm trying to sleep. Should I be worried about this? What could be causing it?

This sensation of feeling your pulse in your chest and throat while sleeping is known as pulsatile tinnitus. It can be caused by various factors such as high blood pressure, anemia, thyroid disorders, or even stress and anxiety. To address this issue, you can try managing stress levels, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, and ensuring proper sleep hygiene. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is recommended to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management. In the meantime, you can try taking a low dose of propranolol (Inderal) under the guidance of a doctor to help alleviate the sensation of pulsatile tinnitus while sleeping.

View allI'm 22 and dealing with some heart-related issues. I had my heart checked, and they found mild MVP. I was put on a beta blocker, but it hasn't really helped with the intense chest pain Ive been experiencing. They've now suggested Flavedon MR for the pain. Do you think that's the right route, or should I be considering other medication options? I'm just not sure what to do next.
For your chest pain related to mild MVP, Flavedon MR can be a suitable medication to try. It contains Trimetazidine and helps in improving blood flow to the heart muscle. The usual dosage is 35 mg twice daily. However, if you do not find relief with Flavedon MR, you can discuss with your doctor about alternative medications such as Ranolazine or Ivabradine which may be more effective for your chest pain associated with MVP.

I'm experiencing something strange over the last couple of days. My pulse rhythm seems normal, but I've been having this weird fluttering sensation in my neck, kind of a vague feeling. It usually happens after I eat. I'm curious if this is something I should be concerned about. What could be causing this?
The symptoms you are describing, such as fluttering in the neck and a vague feeling, could be related to acid reflux or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) causing esophageal spasms. I recommend trying over-the-counter antacids like Tums or Rolaids to see if it helps with the symptoms. Additionally, you can try avoiding spicy and acidic foods, eating smaller meals, and not lying down immediately after eating. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

What could it mean if Sorbitrate 5 tastes really bitter when you keep it under your tongue? My relative is dealing with hypertension and I'm a bit worried.
When sorbitrate 5 feels really bitter when you keep it under your tongue, it could be due to the medication coming into contact with taste buds. This is a common side effect of sublingual medications. To reduce the bitter taste, you can try drinking a small amount of water before taking the medication. Additionally, ensure that the medication is placed directly under the tongue and allowed to dissolve completely. If the bitterness persists or if there are any other concerning symptoms, please consult your healthcare provider for further evaluation.
