What Causes Tingling Waves In Chest?

Hello, I am a 44yo male. I am on Indopril 4 for hypertention. Lately when lying down and feeling relaxed, I get the feeling of a tingling heavy wave sensation across my chest area (lasting 2-5 seconds), when I move or take a breath the sensation subsides. I am a non smoker. Any ideas?.
Thank you.

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
In my opinion, we should rule out heart related diseases in your case.
There are two risk factors in your case that predispose heart diseases.
1. Hypertension
2. Age of 44 years. This age is consider as perimenopausal age. During this age due to hormonal changes (low estrogen), women are vulnerable two heart diseases.
So better to first get done ecg and 2d echo.
If both of them are normal then no need to worry for heart diseases.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
