I've been having an abnormal heart rate for the past month, consistently between 90 and 110. I was on high blood pressure medication but stopped taking it two months ago based on my doctor's advice. They told me to keep an eye on my blood pressure, but I'm worried about whether my heart rate is something to be concerned about. Should I be seeing any changes, or is this normal after stopping the medication?

It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly, especially if you have a history of high blood pressure. Since you are experiencing an abnormal heart rate, it is crucial to manage your blood pressure effectively. You can monitor your blood pressure at home using a digital blood pressure monitor. If your blood pressure remains consistently high, your doctor may recommend restarting your high blood pressure medication. In the meantime, it is important to stay hydrated, maintain a healthy diet low in sodium, and engage in regular physical activity to help manage your blood pressure.

I'm 26 and I've been experiencing a weird situation recently. Whenever I try to take a nap during the day, I notice that my heart starts racing, but it usually settles down after a bit. However, after waking up, the palpitations come back for a while, which is really unsettling. This only seems to happen in the daytime, not at night. I recently finished treatment for a panic attack, including psychiatric counseling. Since I'm still having these palpitations, I'm unsure what to do next. Could you help me figure out what's going on?
Based on your symptoms and history of panic attacks, it is possible that you are experiencing residual anxiety leading to palpitations. I recommend trying a beta-blocker medication such as Propranolol. You can take Propranolol 10mg to 20mg once daily as needed to help reduce the palpitations and anxiety symptoms. However, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new medication.
