View allI've been experiencing this strange sensation for the last two weeks where it feels like my heart is skipping a beat or just stops briefly, and then it goes back to normal. It can happen maybe 5 to 10 times throughout the day, and it's pretty random. Is this something I should be worried about?
It sounds like you may be experiencing episodes of irregular heartbeats, also known as palpitations. In this case, it is important to consult a cardiologist for further evaluation and management. However, if you are looking for over-the-counter options to help manage your symptoms, you can try taking magnesium supplements. Magnesium can help regulate your heart rhythm and reduce the frequency of palpitations. You can take magnesium supplements such as "Nature Made Magnesium 250 mg" once daily. Remember to consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new supplement regimen.

I'm concerned about my blood pressure; it's around 140 over 88. I'm wondering what precautions I should take? Also, what should I include in my diet? And could you recommend some exercises I should consider? I'm 184 cm tall and weigh 80 kg.
To help lower your blood pressure, you should focus on maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Start by incorporating a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins while limiting your intake of saturated fats, cholesterol, and sodium. Consider the DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) diet as a guide. Additionally, engage in regular physical activity such as brisk walking, jogging, cycling, or swimming for at least 30 minutes most days of the week. Aim to achieve and maintain a healthy weight by combining a balanced diet with exercise. It's also important to manage stress levels, get an adequate amount of quality sleep, and limit alcohol consumption. In terms of medication, if lifestyle modifications are not sufficient, you may need to consult a healthcare provider for prescription antihypertensive medications
