Anyone having chest flutters or sinking??

I am a 33 year old woman who was recently diagnosed with High BP and Cholesterol. I was put on Diovan HCT and Vytorin. I have noticed recently that when I am at rest either on the couch or in bed I get this flutter or quick sinking feeling in my chest.. it is not follwed by pain or anything.. just a strange sensation... Could this be the medicine. I have reseached online and do not see this as a side effect. Last night I took my BP and it was 91/52 a far cry from the 147/100 it was runnning.. I know it can cause hypotension but this feeling being related, I dont know..
I also have been on Xanax .5 for the last month 1x day and came off it earlier this week, by myself???
I also Smoke... God am I a mess...
any advice is much welcomed.. thanks

It is time to take your BP on a regular basis and speak to your primary care doctor about all that is going on. The medicine is probably to blame and the doctor should be able to get you on a dose that is right for you.

Don't get anxious about all this stuff because it only complicates matters. I guess that you are on Xanax because of anxiety.

Quitting smoking will help with some of the anxiety, I know because I quit. Walking is also really good for anxiety.
