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'm really worried about my father. He's been diagnosed with severe coronary ectasia and previously, doctors mentioned that a bypass surgery isn't an option for him. I'm wondering if treatments like Ace Inhibitors or the drug Entresto could be effective in his situation? Lately, he's been having more frequent chest pains and feeling a lot of unease. Could you provide some guidance on this?
For the treatment of coronary ectasia, Ace Inhibitors such as Lisinopril can be beneficial in managing symptoms and improving heart function. The recommended dosage of Lisinopril is usually starting at 2.5-5 mg once a day, which can be adjusted by the doctor based on individual response. Entresto, which is a combination of Sacubitril and Valsartan, can also be considered for the treatment of heart failure in patients with reduced ejection fraction. The usual starting dose of Entresto is 4951 mg twice daily, which can be increased to the target maintenance dose of 97103 mg twice daily as tolerated. However, it is important to consult with your father's healthcare provider before starting any new medication or making changes to his current treatment plan. Regular monitoring and follow-up with a healthcare professional are essential in managing coronary ectasia and associated symptoms.

I'm a bit worried because I just got some results back and I'm not sure what to make of them. My blood pressure is reading 13090 and my recent echo shows I've got Grade 1 Diastolic Dysfunction. I'm wondering, can losing weight help reverse this condition? Also, my ECG indicates a sinus rhythm, which I believe is normal, but should I be concerned?
Yes it can be reversed,consume balanced diet and maintain healthy lifestyle
