I've been noticing this weird thing happening with my heartbeat over the last couple of days. It feels like my heart is beating really strongly, and I can actually see it beating when I look at my chest. Sometimes it even makes the dirt move around me. It doesn't happen all the time, just randomly throughout the day. Could you help me understand why this might be happening and what I should do about it?

This irregular heartbeat may be due to a condition called palpitations. I recommend you to consult a doctor for proper evaluation and diagnosis. In the meantime, you can take a beta-blocker medication like Metoprolol (25-50mg) to help control your heart rate and rhythm. Additionally, try to reduce stress and avoid stimulants like caffeine and nicotine. If the symptoms persist or worsen, seek medical attention promptly.

View allI'm feeling really dizzy and almost like I'm about to faint. I suddenly started sweating out of nowhere. Can you help me figure out what might be going on and maybe suggest some remedies for it?
You're likely experiencing a vasovagal attack or a panic attack, characterized by dizziness, fainting sensation, sweating, and possible nausea or palpitations; to alleviate symptoms, sit or lie down in a cool, quiet space, loosen tight clothing, take slow, deep breaths, and drink water or other hydrating fluids

I've been on amlosafe at 5mg for about 4 months now, but my blood pressure is still hovering around 150100. Do you think I should be switching up my medication, or is there something else I should be trying?
Amlosafe is a brand name for Amlodipine. Since your blood pressure is still high despite taking Amlodipine 5mg for 4 months, you may need a change in medication. I recommend discussing with your doctor about switching to a different antihypertensive medication such as Losartan .

Can a TMT test really detect heart blockages? Like, if my TMT test comes back negative, should I be concerned about blockages not being detected? Also, what if I have a blockage that's, say, around 10%would the TMT still show positive in that case? I'm just trying to understand how reliable the TMT is for these things.
If your TMT is negative, but you're still concerned about potential blockages or symptoms, its essential to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and possibly more specific tests (like angiography) based on your risk factors and clinical symptoms.
