I've been noticing this fluttering feeling under my left breast and I'm not sure if it's my heart or something with my stomach. On top of that, I keep feeling hot and cold at the same time, and my feet are freezing, even with socks on. I struggle with bad anxiety and panic attacks, plus I'm bipolar, and I've been a hypochondriac since I was little. I'm constantly worried about having a heart attack. What could be going on?

I'm really struggling with these palpitations. Even though all my echocardiography results and other tests came back normal, I keep experiencing them out of the blue while I'm just going about my day. It's starting to worry me because I can't pin down why it's happening. Could there be something else going on that the tests didn't pick up? What should I do next?

Palpitations can be caused by various factors, including anxiety, stress, caffeine intake, or certain medications. In your case, since all tests are normal, you may consider trying a beta-blocker such as Metoprolol (25-50mg) to help manage the palpitations. It can help regulate your heart rate and reduce the intensity of palpitations. However, it's important to consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new medication.

I'm currently managing my high blood pressure with telvas 40 and my high pulse with ivabradine 5, which I take twice a day. I also have mild asthma. Is it safe for me to switch to telvas beta 50?

No need to change the medicine . U can continue same treatment since tab telma is safer in asthamatic patients..ARBs are the first line medications in asthmatic patients.
