I am a 61 yo F and have high blood pressure & GERD and take diltiazem 360 and spironolactone 25mg as well as Zegrid (2xday). My pulse usually runs in the 60 s. I ate lunch about 45 mins ago (tuna salad) and am feeling lightheaded with a funny sensation in my chest....not pain....more like a bubble . I took my blood pressure it s 117/64 and my pulse is 58....slower than usual. These sensations have been going for about 15 mins. Shoud I be concerned?
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. No need to worry about heart related diseases for blood pressure of 117/64 and pulse of 58. These readings are normal. Since you are also having HERD, your chest discomfort is mostly due to HERD. So take antacid (pantoprazole) and anti-Emetic (risperidone) combination on empty stomach before meals. Avoid hot and spicy food. Avoid stress and tension, be relaxed and calm. Avoid large meals, instead take frequent small meals. Don't worry, you will be alright with all these. No need to worry at present. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
