View allI've been checking my pulse rate a lot since yesterday, like 34 times, and it's been between 95 to 100 on the pulse oximeter. Is this okay, or does it seem a bit high? I'm just wondering what I should do to improve it if needed.
A pulse rate between 60 to 100 beats per minute is generally considered normal for adults. A pulse rate of 95 to 100 may be slightly on the higher side, but it could be due to various reasons such as stress, anxiety, caffeine intake, or physical activity. To help lower your pulse rate, you can try relaxation techniques like deep breathing exercises, meditation, or yoga. Make sure to stay hydrated, avoid caffeine and nicotine, and get an adequate amount of sleep. If your pulse rate consistently stays high or if you experience any other concerning symptoms, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and guidance.

I've been having some chest issues and I went to the doctor who said it's just my bone and everything's normal, so he prescribed Pan 20 for 10 days before meals once a day, Bandy medicine, and a vitamin D sachet to take once a week. But I'm still a bit worried because I sometimes feel chest pain when I take a deep breath, and in the mornings on my left side. The pain's really sharp, but it only lasts about 45 seconds and happens maybe 6 or 7 times a day. I had anxiety about three years ago, and I also sleep on my stomach. Could that be related or something I should be more concerned about? Any advice would be really helpful.
It is important to follow up with your doctor regarding the chest pain you are experiencing, especially if it is recurring multiple times a day. The sharp pain in the left chest that lasts for a few seconds could be due to various reasons, including musculoskeletal issues, anxiety, or even gastrointestinal problems. In the meantime, you can try taking over-the-counter pain relief medication like Acetaminophen (Tylenol) for the chest pain. However, if the pain persists or worsens, it is crucial to seek medical attention for further evaluation and management.
