I'm 23 and had some tests done recently where my ECG and ECHO came back normal, but my QRS duration was 98ms. I'm kind of worried about whether this might have any implications for my health in the future. Can you explain if this is something I should be concerned about?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
QRS duration of 98ms is considered to be within normal limits for adults. It is unlikely to cause any issues in the future. No specific treatment is needed for this. Just continue to follow up with your healthcare provider for routine check-ups.

View allHey, I've been tracking my heart rate with my Apple Watch, and I'm feeling a bit concerned. I've noticed that my monthly average heart rate is usually between 42 to 126 bpm, and my resting heart rate varies from 51 to 61 BPM. When I'm walking, it averages around 65 to 107 BPM. Typically, I exercise in the evenings, and my heart rate can go above 117, with an average of 80 to 85. But here's the thingthat's got me worriedthis morning while I was just sitting and reading at the office, my watch showed a heart rate of 43 BPM. Should I be concerned about this low reading?
Having a resting heart rate between 51-61 BPM, especially if you are physically fit, can be normal. A heart rate of 43 BPM while sitting and reading might be lower than usual but not necessarily alarming if you are asymptomatic and otherwise healthy. Your exercise heart rates and walking averages seem within normal ranges. However, since your heart rate can dip quite low, it would be a good idea to discuss these readings with your healthcare provider to rule out any underlying issues like bradycardia or other cardiac conditions. They might suggest monitoring your heart rate more closely or performing additional tests if necessary.

I've noticed that my heart rate has been at 120 for the past three hours. I feel okay overall, just dealing with a minor cold. Could you help me understand why this is happening?
A heart rate of 120+ beats per minute can be elevated due to various reasons, including stress, anxiety, fever, dehydration, or certain medications. Since you mentioned having a minor cold, it is possible that your elevated heart rate is a response to the infection. To help lower your heart rate, you can try taking over-the-counter medication like **Acetaminophen** for fever and discomfort associated with the cold. Additionally, ensure you stay well-hydrated and get plenty of rest. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to seek medical attention for further evaluation.
