I'm 24 and I spend a lot of time sitting because of my job. My pulse rate seems to bounce between 92 and 110. Is it normal for it to be that high at my age? I'm a bit worried if it's something I should be concerned about.

View allI'm a 54-year-old woman and recently had an episode of atrial fibrillation that corrected itself. Now my echocardiogram shows I have a mild leaky aortic valve with some regurgitation. Should I be worried about this? How serious is it really?
Mild aortic valve regurgitation is generally not a cause for concern and may not require treatment. However, it is important to monitor it regularly to ensure it does not worsen over time. In some cases, medication such as ACE inhibitors or ARBs may be prescribed to help manage symptoms. It is recommended to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

How does diabetes increase the risk of a heart attack or stroke?
With time, raised blood sugar levels can damage the blood vessels and nerves that control the heart. Additionally, people with diabetes are also more likely to have other conditions that raise the risk for heart disease/ stroke such as high blood pressure and deranged cholesterol or triglyceride levels.

I'm 25 and dealing with prehypertension. My blood pressure is at 14090. I've had tests done and everything seems normal, like my lipid profile, liver function, and kidney function test. I've been eating mostly green veggies and getting some exercise every morning, but I still can't seem to get my blood pressure under control. Do you think I should consider medication?
Since your blood pressure is not controlled despite lifestyle changes, medication may be necessary to help manage your pre-hypertension. I recommend starting with a low-dose of a medication like Losartan (brand name: Cozaar) 25mg once daily. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and follow up with your healthcare provider to adjust the dosage if needed.
