I'm a bit worried about heart health and wanted to ask. What are some early signs I should watch out for that might suggest a heart attack? And how long do those symptoms usually last before it gets serious? Also, I've heard about angina and heart attacks, but I'm not quite sure how they're different. Could you explain that for me?

One of my friends, she's 24, and her heart rate is always between 100 and 105 beats per minute. Is this something normal, or should we be worried about it?

A resting heart rate of 100-105 beats per minute in a 24-year-old individual may be considered higher than normal. It is recommended to monitor her heart rate regularly and consult a doctor for further evaluation. In some cases, medications such as Metoprolol (25-50mg) may be prescribed to help lower the heart rate if necessary.

I've been dealing with this dull pain for about four months now, and I'm really starting to worry. I don't have any other symptoms like shortness of breath or anything, but I'm concerned it might be heart-related. Could this kind of pain without those typical symptoms still be linked to a heart issue?

Dull pain lasting for 4 months can be concerning, especially if it is located in the chest area. While chest pain can be a symptom of heart problems, it is not always the case. Other conditions such as muscle strain, acid reflux, or anxiety can also cause chest pain. Since you do not have any other symptoms like shortness of breath, it is less likely to be related to the heart. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for a proper evaluation and diagnosis. If the pain persists or worsens, you may consider taking over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen or ibuprofen for temporary relief.
