Question 1

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?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 2

I'm really concerned about this ongoing chest pain I've been experiencing along with pain in my left arm. It's been happening quite a lot over the past eight months. I'm trying to figure out what's really going on. Any ideas what could be causing this?

Accepted Answer

This could be a sign of a heart condition, specifically angina or a heart attack. It is important to seek immediate medical attention. In the meantime, you can take aspirin (e.g. Bayer Aspirin) 325mg to help reduce the risk of blood clot formation.

Accepted Answer

Cardiophobia, also known as anxiety about having heart problems, is a psychological condition where a person has an excessive fear of heart-related issues despite medical reassurance. This fear and anxiety can manifest in physical symptoms such as palpitations, chest pain, and shortness of breath. It is important to understand that Cardiophobia itself does not cause heart attacks or any heart issues. The symptoms experienced are usually due to anxiety and not an underlying heart problem. To help manage your Cardiophobia, it is recommended to seek therapy such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) or relaxation techniques. In some cases, medication such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) may be prescribed to help with anxiety symptoms. Additionally, practicing stress-reducing activities like yoga, meditation, and regular exercise can also be beneficial in managing anxiety related to Cardiophobia. If you are experiencing severe anxiety symptoms or if your symptoms are significantly impacting your daily life, I recommend consulting with a mental health professional for a personalized treatment plan.
