Since my ECG, cholesterol, kidney, and liver tests are normal, and I am taking Nebicard 2.5mg for heart fluttering that feels like a lump in my throat when I lie down, do I need any other tests to rule out blocked heart arteries (coronary artery disease)?
The fluttering and lump-in-throat sensation when lying down can be unsettling, but at 36, with these normal results, blocked arteries are less likely. Since you are taking Nebicard (nebivolol), your doctor might suggest a Holter monitor (a wearable ECG) to record your heart rhythm during these episodes, or a simple exercise stress test to completely rule out coronary artery disease. Sometimes, acid reflux can also cause that throat sensation when lying down. Please discuss these gentle next steps with your doctor for peace of mind.
