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 concerned about my blood pressure spiking in the evenings. It goes up to 16090, but stays under 12580 throughout the day until around 5pm. I'm 36, weigh 78kgs, and my height is 5 feet 4.5 inches. Is there something specific causing this? Any advice on what I should do?
To help manage your blood pressure spikes in the evening, you can consider taking a medication like Amlodipine (brand name Norvasc) 5mg daily in the evening. Additionally, lifestyle modifications such as reducing salt intake, regular exercise, maintaining a healthy weight, and managing stress can also be beneficial in controlling your blood pressure. Remember to consult with your doctor before starting any new medication.

I found out about my high blood pressure about two years ago when my family doctor prescribed me Telma 40. I've been taking it, but I sometimes forget to take it at the same time every day. Since I stopped regularly monitoring my BP, I didn't notice anything unusual until recently. I checked my BP a few days ago, and it read around 14090, usually falling within 13585 to 14590. I've been wondering, even though I'm taking Telma 40, why would my BP still be at 14090? Could my less active lifestyle over the past couple of months be contributing to this? I'm a bit concerned and curious about what's going on.
Lifestyle modifications such as regular exercise, maintaining a healthy weight, reducing sodium intake, and managing stress are important in controlling blood pressure. I recommend incorporating regular physical activity into your routine, such as brisk walking or swimming for at least 30 minutes a day. Additionally, try to follow a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains while limiting processed foods and high-sodium items. It is also important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and take your medication consistently at the same time each day to optimize its effectiveness. If you continue to have concerns about your blood pressure readings, consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and guidance.

I'm dealing with some pretty bad acid reflux after eating heavy masala foods. I've got this weird dhada sensation in my chest, so I got an ECG done. The results said something about a left axis and poor R progression. Is this something normal, or should I be worried? Would love some advice on what to do next!
It sounds like you may be experiencing acid reflux symptoms and chest discomfort. The ECG findings of Left axis poor R progression may indicate certain heart conditions, but it is important to correlate these findings with your symptoms and overall health status. To address your acid reflux symptoms, you can try taking Omeprazole (brand name Prilosec) 20mg once daily before breakfast for a few weeks. Additionally, you can take Gaviscon (antacid) as needed for immediate relief. It is also recommended to avoid spicy and heavy meals, eat smaller meals, and avoid lying down immediately after eating. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
