View allIs it normal to feel your heartbeat at night? I've noticed that I'm getting anxious easily too. Could this be a sign of something wrong with my heart? I'm a bit worried.
Feeling your heart beating at night and experiencing anxiety could be related to a heart condition, but it could also be due to other factors such as stress, caffeine intake, or even sleep apnea. To address this issue, you can try taking a beta-blocker like Metoprolol (25-50mg) to help reduce your heart rate and anxiety symptoms. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques before bed and maintaining a healthy lifestyle can also help improve your symptoms.

I'm having some trouble with my blood pressure meds. I've been on Tazloc 40 and Nebicard 2.5 once a day, and while they help with my BP and pulse, I'm dealing with nasal blockage, ear infections, and respiratory issues. I tried LN Bloc and Ivabradine like my doctor suggested, and that solved the breathing problems, but my BP and pulse aren't as controlled. Switching to LN Bloc 10 twice a day with Nebicard 2.5 worked for my BP and pulse, but those side effects came back. Now my doctor is suggesting benidipine and ivabradine, and it's getting pretty confusing with all the changes. Is benidipine a good option, or is there something else I should try that won't cause the breathing issues or head congestion?
Benidipine is a calcium channel blocker that can be used to treat high blood pressure. It is generally well-tolerated, but like any medication, it can have side effects. If you are experiencing nasal blockage, ear infection, and respiratory issues with your current medications, it may be worth trying a different class of antihypertensive medication. One option to consider is an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor such as Enalapril. ACE inhibitors are known to be effective in treating high blood pressure and have a lower incidence of respiratory side effects compared to some other classes of antihypertensive medications. Another option is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) such as Losartan. ARBs work in a similar way to ACE inhibitors but may be better tolerated in some individuals. It is important to discuss these options with your doctor to determine the best course of action for your specific situation. They can provide guidance on the appropriate dosage and monitor your response to the new medication.

I'm kind of worried about my recent heart echo results after having a COVID infection. It says I've got mild tricuspid and mitral regurgitation and borderline concentric hypertrophy. But it also mentions that my systolic function is good with an LVEF of 66, and that my cardiac valves look normal. There's no pulmonary arterial hypertension, intracardiac shunt, or pericardial effusion. Sometimes I get this weird feeling, like something's stuck on the left side, and then when it goes down, I can breathe a lot better. Other than that, I'm feeling okay. Should I be concerned about these findings? What do you suggest I do next?
There is no immediate cause for worry. The symptoms you are experiencing on the left side may be related to the mild regurgitation, but further evaluation may be needed to determine the exact cause. To address the mild tricuspid and mitral regurgitation, you can take medication like Losartan to help reduce the regurgitation and prevent any worsening of the condition. Additionally, Metoprolol can be prescribed to help manage any symptoms related to the regurgitation. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management based on your symptoms and the echocardiogram findings. Regular monitoring and follow-up appointments will be essential to ensure your heart health is maintained.
