Your symptoms may be related to increased stress, anxiety, disturbed sleep, and Vata-Pitta imbalance after surgery and recovery. Even when ECG is normal, continuous overthinking and mental stress can make the heartbeat feel heavy or more noticeable. In Ayurveda, the focus should be on calming the nervous system, improving mental relaxation, and strengthening recovery after surgery. You can follow these supportive measures: Maintain a regular daily routine and avoid late nights. Take warm, freshly cooked, easy-to-digest meals at fixed timings. Avoid excess tea, coffee, spicy foods, junk food, and prolonged screen exposure. Practice slow deep breathing, meditation, and light yoga daily for mental calmness. Gentle head massage with calming oils like Brahmi oil or Ksheerabala oil at night may help relax the mind. Ensure proper sleep and avoid overthinking before bedtime.
