I'm always having chest pain, and it's weird because it gets worse when I'm sitting but seems to get better with walking, exercising, or lying down. This usually kicks in after sitting for over 2 hours at my office. It's been going on for a while now. Can anyone help figure out what might be going on?

I'm trying to understand the differences between Cocor 5 and Inderal 40. Are they used for the same purpose, and if so, which one is considered safer with fewer side effects?

Yes, Cocor 5 and Inderal 40 are both beta blockers used to treat high blood pressure, angina, and certain heart rhythm disorders. In terms of safety and side effects, Inderal 40 (Propranolol) is generally considered to have fewer side effects compared to Cocor 5 (Bisoprolol). Inderal 40 is often preferred in patients with certain heart conditions or anxiety disorders due to its well-established safety profile. The usual dosage for Inderal 40 is 40mg once daily, while the dosage for Cocor 5 is 5mg once daily.

I'm a bit worried because I had a myocardial infarction about 4 years ago. Could having triple vessel disease lead to any complications for me? I'd really appreciate your advice on this.

Hey, 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.
