Question 1

I've noticed that my resting heart rate usually falls between 53 and 60, and my blood pressure seems fine. I don't experience shortness of breath, weakness, or any faintness. I don't get tired during physical activities, either. Over the past couple of years, I've had ECG, TMT, and Echo tests done; they didn't show anything concerning. The only thing that came up was a grade I diastolic dysfunction on the Echo test, but my doctor said that was normal. I play cricket almost every weekend without any issues. Is having a heart rate between 53-60 something I should worry about? Do you think I should get it checked out or need any treatment?

Accepted Answer

Your resting heart rate of 53 to 60 beats per minute is considered to be on the lower side but can be normal for some individuals, especially those who are physically active like yourself. Since you do not experience any symptoms like shortness of breath, weakness, fainting, or exhaustion during physical activity, and your ECG, TMT, and Echo tests have not shown any significant abnormalities, there may not be a cause for concern. However, if you are still worried about your low heart rate, you can consult with your doctor to rule out any underlying issues. In the meantime, continue to stay active and monitor your heart rate during physical activities. If further evaluation is needed, your doctor may recommend additional tests or monitoring.

Question 3

I'm a bit concerned about my cholesterol levels. My current readings are Chod Pod at 218, LDL cholesterol at 150, and Chol Hdl at 4.7. Could these affect my penis erection?

Accepted Answer

Elevated cholesterol levels, such as an LDL cholesterol level of 150, can contribute to the development of atherosclerosis, where arteries become narrowed and hardened due to plaque buildup. This can reduce blood flow throughout the body, including to the penis, and potentially lead to erectile dysfunction (ED). Managing your cholesterol through diet, exercise, and possibly medications can improve overall vascular health and reduce the risk of ED.

I'm a bit confused about the difference between Prolomet XL 50mg and Prolomet XL R 50mg5mg. I don't have high blood pressure, so which one should I be considering, if at all?

IF THE PATIENT IS NOT HAVING HYPERTENSION NO NEED TO TAKE MEDICATION .And prolomet xl R is the combination medication with both medicines,, where as prolomet xl is the single medicine..
