I'm a bit concerned about my resting heart rate, which is usually around 115. Is that normal? Could this have any negative implications on my health? I try to stay active with moderate exercise and spend time outdoors 5 to 6 days a week, and I don't have any known health issues. Should I be taking any specific precautions?

A resting heart rate of 115 beats per minute is higher than the normal range, which is typically between 60-100 beats per minute for adults. This condition is known as tachycardia and can have negative effects on your health if left untreated. It may be caused by factors such as stress, dehydration, caffeine intake, or certain medications. To lower your resting heart rate and reduce the risk of complications, you can try the following precautions: - Stay hydrated and avoid excessive caffeine intake - Practice stress-reducing techniques such as deep breathing or meditation - Ensure you are getting enough quality sleep - Consider incorporating relaxation exercises into your routine If your resting heart rate remains consistently high, despite these precautions, I recommend consulting with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management. In some cases, medication such as beta-blockers may be prescribed to help lower the heart rate.

View allI'm feeling this weird pain in the center of my chest whenever I breathe deeply or move suddenly. It's been happening since this evening and while it goes away for a bit, it keeps coming back. I'm trying to figure out if this might just be from a cold or if it's more like an infection. Who should I be talking to about this? What kind of doctor would handle something like this?

I'm having chest pain for the past two years and have already done tests like HLA B27 by PCR, ECG, 2D Echo, TMT, and a CT Coronary Angiography. All the results have come back normal, but I'm still dealing with this left-sided chest pain. My recent blood tests show HS CRP is 9.7, Lipoprotein A is 35.09, SGOT is 70.9, SGPT is 88.4, and GGT is 80.9. Now my doctor wants me to do a 2D Echo with a GLS test. What do you think is going on? Is there something specific my doctor might be looking for with this new test?
