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 really worried about something I came across in my medical report it mentions 'abnormal BR wave progression.' Is this something serious or dangerous? What steps should I consider taking to address or monitor this?
Abnormal ECG findings like abnormal R wave progression can indicate underlying heart conditions. It is important to further evaluate the cause of this abnormality. Treatment may involve medications such as beta blockers like Metoprolol or calcium channel blockers like Amlodipine. Dosage and duration of treatment should be determined by a healthcare professional after a thorough evaluation. Regular follow-up with a cardiologist is recommended to monitor the condition.

Every time I smoke weed, I start feeling this pain in my left shoulder and arm. It began in early February, and I've been smoking marijuana since January 2016. I know I have generalized anxiety disorder, and I'm anxious about heart attacks because I heard weed can speed up heart rate. I've been to doctors many times and had several EKGs, Cardiac Enzyme Tests, and even a resting Electrocardiogram. They all said my heart's fine, and so did my cardiologist, though I never mentioned my weed use to them. The pain sometimes happens when I'm not high, but it definitely seems worse when I am. I get really in my head about this stuff when I'm high. Im aware that sudden heart attacks from weed are super rare and that lots of people over 50 use it, but I'd still like some advice on how to feel more at ease. I'm a 17-year-old male, not very active, weighing 240 lbs, and my resting heart rate is between 65 and 80 BPM.
It sounds like you may be experiencing musculoskeletal pain exacerbated by your anxiety when using marijuana. Given your history of generalized anxiety disorder and the fact that your shoulder and arm pain worsens when you smoke weed, it's important to address both the physical and psychological aspects of your symptoms. To help alleviate your symptoms and manage your anxiety, I recommend trying over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen for your shoulder and arm pain. Additionally, considering your anxiety, you may benefit from therapy or counseling to address your worries and fears related to using marijuana. In terms of your anxiety about heart issues, it's reassuring that your cardiac tests have come back normal. However, it's essential to consider the impact of marijuana on your symptoms. To address your concerns about heart health while using marijuana, you may want to consider reducing or avoiding its use. It's also crucial to focus on maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including regular physical activity and a balanced diet, to support your overall well-being. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it's important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management. Remember, taking care of your physical and mental health is essential. If you have any concerns or questions, don't hesitate to reach out for support.

how can i tell if my bypass surgery was successful are there any specific scans or tests that can confirm everything went well
After bypass surgery, your healthcare team will monitor your recovery and perform tests to assess the success of the procedure and overall heart health. These tests can include a coronary angiogram to check graft patency and blood flow, an echocardiogram to evaluate heart function, and cardiac CT angiography (CTA) to assess graft patency and surrounding structures
