Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Hypertensive patients are at increased risk for arrhythmia (rhythm disturbances in heart) and other heart diseases like coronary artery disease (CAD).
Your symptoms like Fluttering sensations, waking up inside the middle night, rapid pulse rate etc are more suggestive of arrhythmia and CAD.
So consult doctor and get done
1. Blood pressure monitoring
2. Ecg
3. 2d echo
4. Stress test (trade mill test)
5. Holter monitoring (24 hours continuous recording of ecg).
You will need anti arrhythmia and cardiac supportive drugs on the basis of these reports.
Strict control of blood pressure is needed.
Avoid stress and tension if you are having stressful life.
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.
