I've been feeling a really strong pulse in my head for the past couple of days, and yesterday I noticed it in my rib area too. It feels like there's an extra heartbeat or something. I've tried to ignore it, but it's so uncomfortable and it's been messing up my sleep. I even woke up with a really fast heart rate today, and it's making me quite anxious. It's like I can't escape this feeling, whether I'm awake or trying to sleep. What should I do to make this go away? Any advice would really help.

Based on your symptoms, it sounds like you may be experiencing palpitations. Palpitations can be caused by various factors such as stress, caffeine intake, dehydration, or underlying medical conditions. To help alleviate your symptoms, you can try taking a beta-blocker medication such as Metoprolol at a dose of 25-50mg once daily. Additionally, it is important to stay hydrated, avoid caffeine and alcohol, and practice relaxation techniques to reduce stress. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it is recommended to seek further evaluation from a healthcare professional.

View allI'm planning to do a treadmill stress test soon, and I'm a bit nervous about what blood pressure and pulse rate levels are considered too high or too low during the test. Also, what does it mean if the test results come back as TMT positive or negative? I'm trying to understand what I should be looking out for.
During a treadmill test, the allowed blood pressure level is usually below 200110 mmHg. The allowed pulse rate can vary depending on age, but generally should not exceed 85% of the maximum predicted heart rate for the individual's age. A TMT (Treadmill Test) is considered positive if there is significant ST segment depression on the ECG during or after exercise, indicating possible coronary artery disease. It is considered negative if there are no significant ECG changes during the test, suggesting a lower likelihood of coronary artery disease.

I've noticed that when I'm just walking at a normal pace, my pulse rate sometimes jumps to around 130. I'm not doing any brisk walking, just regular walking. Is this something I should be concerned about? My ECG came out normal, but I'm still a bit worried about this pulse range of 110-130 when I'm just walking. Any thoughts?
A pulse rate of 110-130 during normal walking can be considered normal for some individuals, especially if you are not used to regular physical activity. Since you have already undergone an ECG and it was normal, it is a good sign that your heart is functioning well. However, it is always recommended to consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice.

I'm feeling a bit worried about my blood pressure readings. I got a reading of 135110 at the hospital and 140102 with a digital machine at home. I'm already taking Eritel LN 40 and Concor 2.5, but my regular doctor isn't available right now. I went to a clinic nearby because I've had headaches and blurred vision, and they recommended I take Telma H 4012.5 in the morning and keep up the Concor 2.5 mg at night for the next week until I can see my usual doctor. Does this sound like the right approach, or is there anything else I should consider?
Your blood pressure readings are slightly elevated, and you are experiencing headaches and slight blurriness in vision. Based on the information provided, you are currently taking Eritel LN 40 and Concor 2.5 for your blood pressure. The clinic has advised you to take Telma H 4012.5 in the morning and continue with Concor 2.5 mg at night for 7 days. I recommend following the advice given by the clinic. Take Telma H 4012.5 in the morning and Concor 2.5 mg at night as prescribed. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and consult your regular physician as advised. If you experience any concerning symptoms or if your condition worsens, seek medical attention promptly.
