Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I am 56 years old. For the past 2days I have experienced feeling my heartbeat seemly in my upper body . I weight 295 and I'm female. I have taken my blood pressure reading it is 140 over 86 &77 pulse the first reading and the second 131 over 90 & 67 pulse. Should I seek immediate medical attention?
Your blood pressure values don't seem to be concerning. They are slightly elevated, and this doesn't mean that you should go to the ER.
I recommend consulting with your GP for a careful physical examination, a resting ECG , a chest X ray study and some blood lab tests (complete blood count, thyroid hormone levels, blood electrolytes, fasting glucose, kidney and liver function tests).
If all the above mentioned tests result normal, there is nothing to worry about.
Meanwhile I would recommend performing a lot of physical activity and try to lose your weight.
Hope to have been helpful!
Best wishes!
Dr. Iliri

What Causes Heartbeat Throughout The Body?
Hello! Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM! Your symptoms seem to be related to anxiety and obesity. Do you have any other symptoms like lightheadedness, dizziness, difficulty breathing, etc.? Your blood pressure values don t seem to be concerning. They are slightly elevated, and this doesn t mean that you should go to the ER. I recommend consulting with your GP for a careful physical examination, a resting ECG , a chest X ray study and some blood lab tests (complete blood count, thyroid hormone levels, blood electrolytes, fasting glucose, kidney and liver function tests). If all the above mentioned tests result normal, there is nothing to worry about. Meanwhile I would recommend performing a lot of physical activity and try to lose your weight.
