Suggest Treatment For High Blood Pressure And Rapid Heart Rate

I have had a pouding of heart for a month, I have had ekg, echocardiogram, carotid artery test and been to urgent care facilities 3 times and they come back everything normal. I have high blood pressure, high cholesterol, copd but everything stays normal by medication which I faithfully take every day. I am also on Xanax for sleep. I have a large heital hernia halfway up my chest. I also have menieres disease of the ears . I feel the pounding in chest but also in the left ear. Today doctors gave me a steroid shot and diazide thinking it could be menieres because they saw fluid in my ears and I have had sinus problems which I took over the counter anthistamine. What could possibly be causing this and they cannot find anything? Thanks, deb

Hi welcome to HCM.
I understand your query and concern.
Elevated blood pressure and heart rate in your case is due to high blood cholesterol.Also drug associated interactions are high in your case.Hiatal hernia and Sinus drainage of ear is advocated in your case.Meniere's also have to be treated meticulously.I advise you to have a baseline 2 dimensional echocardiography,ECG and lipid profile to assess the basic cardiac reserve of your heart.Restrict the intake of salt to less than 6 g/day.Regular physical exercise in the form of brisk walk for 20 min a day for 5 days a week is pretty useful.Drugs like antihypertensives and antiarrhythmics will help.Reduce the intake of fatty and fried food.One pomegranate will help to keep your heart at good pace without clot formation. Consult a Cardiologist for further expert management.Post your further queries if any.
Thank you.
