I'm a 28-year-old male and I've noticed that for the past 6 months, my resting heart rate has consistently been over 100, sometimes getting up to 120. I'm really wondering if this is something normal or if I should be concerned about it. Is this something I need to get checked out?

View allI'm trying to figure out the best method or test to determine if my heart is in good condition. I've heard that an echo might not fully guarantee a healthy heart. Can you clarify this for me and maybe suggest other reliable options?
The best way to check the health of your heart is through a combination of tests. One of the most common and effective tests is an ECG (Electrocardiogram), which measures the electrical activity of your heart. Additionally, an Echocardiogram (Echo) can provide valuable information about the structure and function of your heart. To get a comprehensive assessment, you can also consider a stress test to evaluate how your heart performs under physical exertion. These tests, along with blood tests to check cholesterol and other markers, can give a good indication of your heart health.

I'm feeling a strong pulse right below my ribcage. It lasts for a couple of seconds and then sometimes it comes back either 10 seconds or an hour later. Should I be worried about this, and what could it possibly be?
It sounds like you may be experiencing palpitations. Palpitations are sensations of a rapid or irregular heartbeat. In this case, it is important to monitor your symptoms and consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation. If necessary, your doctor may prescribe medications such as Metoprolol (25-100mg) to help regulate your heart rate and reduce palpitations. Remember to follow your doctor's recommendations and keep track of any changes in your symptoms.
