I'm a bit puzzled because my ECG is coming back normal, but I'm still feeling pain in my left arm and shoulder. Last Tuesday, my blood pressure was at 160, and now it's around 11064. Can you help me figure out what's going on?

View allI'm 24 and I've been noticing my heart rate is usually under 60 beats a minute. Should I be worried about this, or is it normal? I weigh 120kg, and I'm 5'10". Also, I was diagnosed with GERD a few weeks back and have been on medication for it. Is it okay for my resting heart rate to be in the 50s?
A resting heart rate below 60 beats per minute is known as bradycardia. In your case, with a history of GERD and being on medication, it is important to consider the overall clinical picture. However, in general, a heart rate in the 50s can be normal for some individuals, especially those who are physically fit. Given your weight and height, it would be advisable to monitor your heart rate regularly and consult with your healthcare provider if you experience any symptoms such as dizziness, fainting, chest pain, or shortness of breath. It is important to ensure that your GERD medication is not causing any adverse effects on your heart rate.

I'm a bit worried about my health as I recently got some test results back. My lipoprotein ALPA level is 39.1, and my hemoglobin count is 17.7. I've already done an ECG and a 2D echo, and those reports came back fine. Should I be concerned about these numbers indicating any heart disease, even though the other tests were okay?
Your lipoprotein (A) value of 39.1 is within normal range, which is a good sign. A high level of LP(a) is considered a risk factor for heart disease, but your value is not concerning. Your hemoglobin (HB) level of 17.7 is also within normal range. Since your ECG and 2D echo reports are fine, it is unlikely that you have any significant heart disease based on the information provided. It's important to continue monitoring your lipid levels and overall heart health regularly. No specific medication is needed at this point.

I just found out there are blockages in both arteries on the left and right sides of my heart. The doctor said they're about 6 to 8 months old. Should I be worried about how old these blockages are and what kind of treatment is usually recommended for this? I'm feeling a bit anxious about what this means for my health going forward.
As there are 2 vessels blocked you can be on conservative management and closely monitored if needed stenting might be done,follow your doctors advice
