Is a heart rate of 108 bpm something I should be worried about? I'm seeing something called sinus tachycardia in my report, and I'm not sure if it's dangerous or just something common. Could you clarify this for me?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
A heart rate of 108 beats per minute (bpm) falls within the range of sinus tachycardia, which means that the heart is beating faster than normal. Sinus tachycardia can be a common response to various factors such as stress, anxiety, caffeine, or physical activity. However, if it persists or is associated with symptoms like dizziness, chest pain, or shortness of breath, it may require further evaluation. In cases of persistent or symptomatic sinus tachycardia, treatment may involve addressing the underlying cause. Beta-blockers such as Metoprolol can be prescribed to help slow down the heart rate and reduce symptoms. The typical dosage of Metoprolol for sinus tachycardia is 25-100mg twice daily, but the exact dosage should be determined by a healthcare provider based on individual factors.

I was recently prescribed concor cor 2.5 for my blood pressure, which is 13090, and I have a heart rate of 113. Since I'm always on the go and sometimes end up skipping breakfast, I'm wondering if it's okay to take this medication on an empty stomach. Is that safe, or should I make sure to eat something first?
Concor Cor 2.5 is a brand name for Bisoprolol, which is a beta-blocker used to treat high blood pressure and heart conditions. It is generally recommended to take Bisoprolol with food to help with absorption and reduce the risk of stomach upset. If you often skip breakfast, you can take your dose with a light snack or a small meal to minimize any potential stomach discomfort. It is important to take the medication as prescribed by your doctor.

I'm a bit worried after being diagnosed with sinus tachycardia and an incomplete right bundle branch block. The doctor mentioned I should start taking trimetazidine. I'm not sure if it's really necessary or if there might be other options. Could you help me understand if I should go ahead with it?
Sinus tachycardia and Incomplete right bundle branch block are both cardiac conditions that may require treatment to manage symptoms and prevent complications. Trimetazidine is not typically used to treat these conditions. For sinus tachycardia, beta-blockers like Metoprolol can be prescribed to help slow down the heart rate. For Incomplete right bundle branch block, treatment may not be necessary unless there are symptoms or other heart conditions present. It is important to follow your doctor's recommendations and discuss any concerns or questions you have about your treatment plan.
