What Could Loud Heart Beat With One LAD Vein Slightly Compressed Signify While On Imdur-30 In A 55 Years Old Female?

Hi Dr, My mother, age-55yrs feels loud heart beats sometimes while lying in bed, or while seating. she feels the beat on throat as well on those moments. She faced HBP last month & started medication, last night when she felt loud beats her BP was 124/64,62. no irregular heart beats shown by the digital BP measurement instrument. She had also got her angiography done last month as she was feeling mild chest pain some times even while resting. No blockage is there, one LAD vein is slightly compressed. To cure it she s taking imdur-30mg once daily. Her father also had angina. Even though she s taking imdur-30 since a month, sometimes she feels minor chest pain, [once a 2-3days earlier, now once a 5-6 days]. We think continuing this medicine for few months will cure it completely. Is this loud beating indicating anything serious? Thanks, Megha P (India)

Cardiologist, Interventional 's  Response
awareness of heart beat (palpitation) can be due to
cardiac rhythm abnormalities
leakage in heart valves
anxiety
- to know whether there is something to worry, your patient should undergo an echocardiography
-a Holter should be done
if both are normal -there is nothing to worry
-if there is mild block in LAD , she should also be on anti platelets , lipid lowering agents, beta- blockers( ask your doctor)
