I'm having this issue where my heart seems to race and my hands go numb. It gets really intense, like my heartbeat skyrockets, especially at night. Last night it happened again, and it's not the first time it also occurred about 15 days ago. I got an ECG done, and while my heart rate was really fast, my blood pressure was normal. What's going on here? Why is this happening to me?

I've had a blood pressure reading of 13585 for the last few days. Is this something I should be concerned about, even though my echo test and ECG came back normal? Is there a way to manage it without medication?

What should be the time gap between two angiograms if needed? A family friend recently had one done, but the report seems a bit off. Could you give us some guidance on how long we should wait before considering another angiogram?

The time gape is 6-12 months.

I'm dealing with blood pressure around 15090 and my heart rate seems higher than normal, sometimes going to 100. Two doctors suggested I start on Nebi 2.5mg twice daily, and while it made me feel really tired at first, that went away after two weeks. It's been five months on this medication now, but I'm noticing that my consciousness feels a bit off. I can't work or focus like I used to. What should I do about this?
