I'm a bit worried because I have anemia and my ESR levels are raised. I generally do slow-paced walking covering an average of 45 km, but my resting heart rate seems to be in the range of 48 to 65. My last two ECG readings were 53 and 48. I'm not experiencing any fainting spells or dizziness, but is this okay and considered normal?

Your resting heart rate of 48-65 beats per minute is within the normal range for adults, especially for individuals who engage in regular physical activity like slow pace walking. Anemia and raised ESR (Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate) may indicate an underlying inflammatory condition. Since you do not experience faint spells or dizziness, it is reassuring. However, it is important to further investigate the cause of anemia and raised ESR. I recommend consulting a doctor for a complete evaluation and appropriate management.

I'm struggling with high cholesterol levels and I'm trying to figure out what to do. My total cholesterol is sitting at 221, with an LDL of 146, HDL is 36, and VLDL is 39. Plus, my triglycerides are at 280. I also smoke, but I've been cutting back bit by bit. Do I need to start taking statins because of this? And if I do start them, is it possible to stop once my cholesterol levels go down?

Yes you have to start statins and quit smoking completely,maintain healthy lifestyle and stay physically active,use statins for a period of 3 months and check your lipid profile for followup

I'm really worried about my mom. Lately, she's been feeling these vibrations in her heart every now and then. It sounds strange, but she tells me it happens occasionally. On top of that, she's also been having leg pain for the past few days. Is this something to be concerned about? She's currently on medications like Ozone cynocal, lcOsil, and Ozone ozocal. Could these symptoms be related to the meds, or is it something else going on? Would really appreciate some guidance.

Your mother's symptoms of occasional heart vibrations, also known as palpitations, and leg pain, could indicate an underlying condition such as arrhythmia, anemia, or poor circulation, and while the medications she's taking, such as Ozone Cynocal LC (iron supplements), Osil Ozone ( omega-3 fatty acids), and Ozocal (calcium supplements), may be helpful, it's essential to consult her doctor urgently to rule out any serious cardiac or vascular issues and adjust her treatment plan accordingly

How do you stop a heart attack immediately?

Acting quickly can save lives. If given quickly after symptoms, clot-busting and artery-opening medications can stop a heart attack, and having a catheterization with a stent put in may open a closed blood vessel. The longer you wait for treatment, the more chances of survival go down and damage to the heart goes up.
