I'm a bit concerned about the variation in my heart rates. My sleeping heart rate is around 55 bpm, while my resting heart rate falls between 80-100 bpm. When I wake up, it usually ranges from 100-120 bpm, and during brisk walking, it goes up to between 130-160 bpm. I'm 26 years old, have a healthy BMI at 22.5, my cholesterol levels are where they should be, and my blood pressure and echocardiogram results are normal. Is it normal for my heart rate to vary this much?

Having variations in heart rate throughout the day is normal, especially in response to different activities and stress levels. However, if you are concerned about the wide range of heart rates you are experiencing, you may consider taking a beta-blocker like Metoprolol (25-50mg) to help regulate your heart rate and reduce fluctuations. It is important to consult with your doctor before starting any medication.

I'm trying to understand more about concentric lvh as I've been dealing with high blood pressure for the last 5 years. I've been taking Telma 40 mg daily, but I'm not sure if that's enough. Could you please explain what treatments are recommended for lvh? I'm really worried about this condition and just want to make sure I'm doing everything I can to manage it properly.

I'm having this pain that comes and goes around my chest and shoulder area, but it's mostly around my heart. I've been really stressed out these past couple of weeks and I'm worried about what it could be. I had an ECG and a chest X-ray done at a diagnostic center, and there were no issues found. I'm 28 years old and weigh 81 kilos. Could you suggest any medicine for pain relief, or do you think I should be looking into something else? I'm actually quite puzzled about what's going on.

I've been feeling this weird pulsating in my stomach, and naturally, I've gone down the rabbit hole on the internet about abdominal aortic aneurysms. I'm only 21, but I can't help but wonder if it's possible for me to have one. I don't have any family history of it, but I'm a bit overweight and my heart rate is faster than normal. Should I be concerned about this?
