I've been having these sudden chills or a cold feeling in my chest while I'm asleep, and it's been happening on and off, like a couple of times a week for the last few months. I already saw a cardiologist and did some tests to make sure it's not heart disease because I'm a 35-year-old guy who was recently told I have hypertension. Can someone help me figure out what might be causing this?

I'm a 27-year-old guy and I've been on high blood pressure meds for about a year now. Lately, I've also started taking Concor 1.25 daily. I've noticed that sometimes my heart rate seems to drop, and it's really freaking me out. What could be causing this?

I understand that feeling a drop in your heartbeat can be quite alarming. Given that you are taking high blood pressure medication and Concor (bisoprolol, a beta-blocker), it's possible that your symptoms could be related to your medication. Beta-blockers like bisoprolol are known to lower both blood pressure and heart rate, and sometimes they can cause bradycardia (a slower than normal heart rate). This can occasionally make you feel lightheaded or cause an irregular heartbeat. It's important to discuss these symptoms with your healthcare provider, as they might need to adjust your medication dosage or explore other underlying causes for your symptoms. In the meantime, keep monitoring your heart rate and blood pressure, and avoid any activities that could trigger these symptoms or put you at risk.

Hey there doc, I'm a 38-year-old guy working in software, and I've noticed something strange lately. My resting heart rate used to be between 60-65 bpm when I'd check it after waking up, and that's when I was working out regularly. I was doing weight training five days a week focusing on different muscle groups each day. But ever since the lockdown and not being able to hit the gym for about two months, I've seen my resting heart rate drop to 50-55 bpm. It's weird because I thought it'd go the other way around without my workouts. Do you think this is something I should be concerned about or is it normal? What's happening here?

it's great that you are monitoring your resting heart rate regularly. A decrease in resting heart rate can be a normal response to regular exercise and improved cardiovascular fitness. Since you have stopped your weight training routine for the past 2 months due to the lockdown, it is expected to see a decrease in your resting heart rate. However, if you are not experiencing any other symptoms such as dizziness, fainting, chest pain, or shortness of breath, a resting heart rate of 50-55 bpm is generally considered normal for physically active individuals. I recommend staying physically active with alternative home workouts or activities to maintain your cardiovascular fitness. Additionally, ensure you are getting adequate rest and managing stress levels. If you have any concerns or experience any unusual symptoms, it is always best to consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice and evaluation
