I'm 21 and I've noticed my pulse rate is higher than usual, but my ECG came out normal. Should I be worried about this, and what kind of treatment should I be looking at?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Your pulse rate is too high. At your age of 21 with a normal ECG, a high pulse rate could be due to various reasons such as anxiety, stress, dehydration, or certain medications. To lower your pulse rate, you can try relaxation techniques like deep breathing exercises, yoga, or meditation. It is also important to stay hydrated and avoid stimulants like caffeine. If the high pulse rate persists, you can take a beta-blocker medication like Metoprolol at a dose of 25-50mg once daily, but it is important to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any medication.

View allI've been having this strange feeling in the middle of my chest, right about my breasts, for a couple of days now. It's hard to put into words but it feels kind of tight and heavy, and sometimes it even hurts when I breathe. I'm starting to get worried. Do you have any idea what might be causing this?
The symptoms you're describing, such as a tight and heavy feeling in the middle of your chest, discomfort when breathing, and difficulty describing the sensation, could be related to various conditions, including anxiety, stress, or even a panic attack; however, it's essential to consult a healthcare professional for a proper evaluation, especially if the symptoms persist or worsen, to rule out any underlying cardiac or respiratory issues.

I'm getting ready for my aviation medical, and I had an ECG done. The report showed ST segment elevation in the anterior, large T waves, and it said "borderline ECG." I'm 20 years old, weigh 82kg, and I'm 176cm tall. Should I be worried about any of these findings? What do they really mean, especially with my age and size?
Based on the ECG findings of ST segment elevation (anterior), large T wave, and borderline ECG, along with your age, weight, and height, it is important to further evaluate these findings. These ECG changes could indicate various conditions such as myocardial infarction, myocarditis, pericarditis, or other cardiac issues. I recommend consulting with a cardiologist for a thorough evaluation and appropriate management. In the meantime, it is important to avoid strenuous physical activity and follow a heart-healthy diet. Medications such as aspirin, nitroglycerin, and beta-blockers may be prescribed based on further evaluation by your cardiologist.
