[|AI|]  Hello Thanks for posting here. You have not mentioned your age here. I would have been in a better position to help you if you had mentioned your age. Your palpitations seem more likely due to stress, but other organic causes should be ruled out. Please do a Holder monitoring where a device is attached to your body which continuously records your ECG over 24 hours while you go about your normal activities. This will show whether there are any heart rhythm disturbances which you feel as palpitations. Your BP reading is definitely high despite on medications. But this again may be related to the stress (health stress related to palpitations). I suggest you record your BP over a week one reading daily and if all readings are persistently high then your BP medications need to be adjusted or changed. Please do the above and revert. Wishing you good health. Regards
