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?

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 allMy dad is 55 and just had a treadmill test that showed inducible ischemia. The doctor recommended an angio does this mean there's a blockage? Can this be treated with meds or will he need surgery? If it gets treated, could it come back later? Also, does this raise his risk of heart failure? Really concerned about what this means for him.
TMT positive suggests that certain part of the heart is not receiving adequate blood supply in the time of stress which means that there has to be some amount of blockage in the blood vessels supplying blood to the heart so 2 things should be done Medications like blood thinners cholesterol and others heart medication used to be started and will continue for at least a long time if not life long And a coronary or CT angiography needs to be done to check the percentage of blockage and the location and intensity of severity of disease according to to which the treatment will depend so I will advise you to get the above tests done as soon as possible because he carries a risk of eminent heart attack with TMT positive
