I was just in the hospital for covid, and they treated me with dexa and antibiotic injections. I got discharged yesterday, but now my heart rate is really slowlike 48 to 49 bpm. Is this something serious? I'm kinda worried about what's going on.

View allI'm a bit worried about my heart because I was told I have left bundle branch block and that I had a silent heart attack, even though I'm not diabetic. I had an angiography done before my knee surgery, and it showed no major blockages, just a 20% one in my right coronary artery. I've also been dealing with hypertension. Can you help me understand what might be causing the LBBB?
Possible causes for left bundle branch block (LBBB) include underlying heart conditions such as coronary artery disease, hypertension, cardiomyopathy, and heart valve disease. Since you mentioned that you are suffering from hypertension, it could be a contributing factor to your LBBB. It is important to manage your hypertension effectively to reduce the risk of further heart complications. In terms of medication, you may benefit from taking an ACE inhibitor like Lisinopril to help control your blood pressure and protect your heart. The typical dosage for Lisinopril is 10-40mg once daily. Additionally, a beta-blocker such as Metoprolol can also be prescribed to help regulate your heart rate and blood pressure. The usual dosage for Metoprolol is 25-100mg once or twice daily. It is essential to follow up with your healthcare provider regularly to monitor your heart health and adjust your treatment plan as needed.

I'm a software engineer and I'm generally in good health. My BMI is normal and my blood pressure is fine too. But I've noticed that my resting heart rate is always over 90 and it's kind of unsettling. I've recently started working out to stay fit and while I don't feel any discomfort, that number still worries me. Should I be concerned about it? What could be causing this and is there a way to bring it down to a normal range?

I'm feeling really anxious because I experienced this sharp pain in my left chest that lasted for about 5-10 seconds. Along with that, there's this heaviness in my chest that's been bothering me. I just got my ECG results, and it mentioned an 800 sinus rhythm and a 401 short PR interval. Could you help me understand what these results might mean? Should I be worried about this?
While the sinus rhythm on your ECG is normal, the short PR interval requires further investigation to determine the underlying cause. The symptoms of chest pain and heaviness are concerning and should be evaluated by a healthcare provider right away. Please do not delay in seeking medical attention to ensure that any potential issues, including heart-related conditions, are addressed promptly.
