View allIm 24 and use a fitness tracker every day to monitor my sleep and activity. Ive noticed my heart rate is usually over 80 BPM, except when Im asleep. Whats the ideal BPM I should aim for, and how can I manage it better?
The ideal resting heart rate for adults is generally between 60-100 beats per minute (BPM). Since your BPM is consistently above 80, it may indicate that you have a higher resting heart rate. To help keep your heart rate in control, you can try incorporating regular exercise, maintaining a healthy weight, managing stress levels, and avoiding stimulants like caffeine and nicotine. If you continue to have concerns about your heart rate, you may consider consulting with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and guidance.

I'm worried that my anxiety might be causing my blood pressure to increase. Its been six months, and while I dont feel as anxious now, I still feel a strong pulse all overchest, fingers, head, neck, legs, everywhere. Its really affecting my life! Ive tried everythingeating better, exercising, meditatingand nothing helps. My blood pressure and pulse are still the same. I even tried magnesium, but no change. I'm really scared about the side effects of anxiety and blood pressure meds. If this is anxiety, how long will it take to go away? What should I do?
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of anxiety that are affecting your blood pressure and pulse. To help manage these symptoms, you can try taking Propranolol (Inderal) at a low dose of 10-20mg once or twice daily. Propranolol is a beta-blocker that can help reduce the physical symptoms of anxiety such as a bounding pulse. Additionally, for anxiety relief, you can consider taking Escitalopram (Lexapro) at a dose of 10mg daily. Escitalopram is a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) that can help alleviate anxiety symptoms. It is important to note that the duration for anxiety to be cured varies from person to person. With medication and therapy, many individuals see improvement in their symptoms within a few weeks to a few months. It is recommended to continue with the prescribed treatment plan and follow up with your healthcare provider for monitoring and adjustments as needed.

I did an ECG, echo, chest X-ray, and TMT about 2 months ago, and thankfully all the tests came back normal. Since then, Ive managed to get my blood pressure down to 12480. I'm 30 years old, a non-smoker, and I dont drink alcohol. Could you give me some advice on when I should consider repeating these tests?
Hi, since your previous tests were normal and you have controlled your blood pressure well, you can repeat the ECG, echo, chest x-ray, and TMT tests every 1-2 years for routine monitoring.
