I'm 77 years old and I've noticed my pulse rate has jumped to 142. It was 139 just an hour ago. Is this something I should be worried about?
This is not a normal pulse rate and requires immediate medical attention. A heart rate of 139-142 is significantly elevated for any age, but especially concerning for someone who is 77 years old. This condition, called tachycardia, can be dangerous and might indicate a serious underlying condition. Please seek emergency medical care right away - either call for an ambulance or have someone take you to the nearest emergency room. While waiting for medical help, try to stay calm, sit or lie down, and avoid any physical activity.

I've been having chest pain when I walk for the last 8 days, but my ECG and 2D echo reports came back normal. I've had asthma since childhood, and I'm 48 years old, weighing 75 kg. When I get the chest pain, there's no breathlessness or anything else, just the pain. It eases up when I rest. My blood pressure is normal, too. What could be causing this?
cardiac markers and ecg are advised..
