I am 52 years old working man suffering from blood pressure. I am taking 5 mg amlodipine daily in the morning after break fast. Sometimes my heart beat goes high while taking bath which takes maximum 5 minutes to come down. I call my family member and comes out from bathroom without taking full bath. It is happening for the last two years all most all twice in a week. My medical is perfectly ok including my Heart ECO etc. How to prevent this. I regularly check my BP which seems normal.

You need to get yourself checked what you are having is called is intermittent tachycardia / arrhythmia which means that intermittently your heart rate increases or the heart Rhythm changes which can be dangerous if it does not get corrected on its own. Or it can be an early sign of impending heart attack but to diagnose it you need to get an ECG done while you are having the rhythm problem or you can get holter monitoring for 24 hours during which if you have this episode it will get registered and documented. Also you need to get a complete lipid profile done as well as a echocardiogram and blood sugar levels to look for risk factors. Once you have done that you need to Consult a cardiologist with the reports.
