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?

View allI've been having a blood pressure reading of 15090 for the past few days, and I'm taking diltiazem 60 mg three times a day. Im a bit worried and wondering what I should do next. Any advice?
Your blood pressure of 15090 is still elevated despite taking Diltiazem 60mg three times a day. I would recommend adding an additional medication to better control your blood pressure. You can consider adding Amlodipine 5mg once daily to further lower your blood pressure. However, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider before making any changes to your medication regimen.

So I've been having this cough for the last couple of days and it's making my heart race and flutter, even when I'm trying to sleep. I got some tests done like an ECG, echo, and chest X-ray back in March. Should I be doing all those tests again? Every time I cough, it feels like my heart is either trying to jump out or like it's getting all tight, and it's really freaking me out. There's also this pain now and then, plus twitching in my feet and neck, and it's making me super anxious about my health. Is Benadryl syrup gonna help with all this? I'm also burping a lot, and my heart feels like it's pounding out of my chest. With all those tests coming back normal before, Im just wondering if I need to repeat them. And while I'm at it, what exactly is the main reason people get heart attacks? It's been like this since February, and I'm feeling really low and freaked out. My blood pressure is usually 11090 and my pulse is often above 100. I'm 25, by the way. Any ideas what's up with all this?
The fluttering and pounding sensation in your heart could be related to the increased pulse rate and coughing. Given your history of normal tests in March, it may be beneficial to consult with a doctor for a thorough evaluation. Benadryl syrup may help with some symptoms, but it is important to address the underlying cause. Considering your symptoms and history, it is advisable to try a combination of medications. You can take Benadryl syrup for cough relief and consider taking a proton pump inhibitor like Omeprazole 20mg for burping. Additionally, you can take Propranolol 10mg for heart palpitations. However, it is crucial to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new medication. The main reason for a heart attack can be due to various factors such as smoking, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, obesity, lack of physical activity, and stress. It is essential to maintain a healthy lifestyle to reduce the risk of heart attacks, especially at a young age. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please seek medical attention promptly for further evaluation and management.

I'm a bit concerned because my ECG showed something called IRBBB, but my 2D echo results came out normal. Does this mean everything's okay with my heart, or should I be worried about any issues? Is it safe for me to continue going to the gym and doing exercises? Would appreciate your insight on whether there's anything to be concerned about.
IRBBB (Incomplete Right Bundle Branch Block) is a condition where the electrical impulses in the heart are delayed or blocked in the right bundle branch. In your case, since your 2D echo is normal, it indicates that the structure and function of your heart are normal despite the IRBBB on ECG. You can continue with your gym and exercise routine. However, it is always recommended to start with moderate intensity and gradually increase it while monitoring your symptoms. If you experience any chest pain, palpitations, dizziness, or shortness of breath during exercise, stop immediately and consult a healthcare professional. No specific medication is required for IRBBB if there are no other underlying heart conditions.
