I'm curious about my pulse after exercising. I did a brisk walk for about 3 kilometers, which took me around 30 minutes, and when I checked my pulse rate right after, it was between 130 and 135. Is this considered normal? My resting pulse usually sits between 70 and 80. Should I be concerned?

A pulse rate of 130-135 after brisk walking is within a normal range, especially considering your resting pulse is 70-80. As long as you do not experience any symptoms such as chest pain, dizziness, or shortness of breath, this pulse rate is considered normal for your level of physical activity.

I'm a bit worried about my resting pulse rate, which is around 55 to 60, but when I work out it goes up to 75 to 80. My ECG and lipid profile are normal, and I take Telpres CT for my blood pressure, which is also normal. I'm curious if this medication could be what's making my pulse lower. Should I be concerned about my resting pulse rate, or is this within a normal range?

Your resting pulse rate of 55 to 60 beats per minute is within the normal range for adults, especially if you are physically active. When you workout, it is normal for your pulse rate to increase to 75 to 80 beats per minute. Telpres CT is a combination medication that contains Telmisartan and Chlorthalidone, which is commonly used to treat high blood pressure. Telpres CT, specifically the Chlorthalidone component, can sometimes cause a slight decrease in heart rate as a side effect. However, in your case, with a resting pulse rate of 55 to 60, it is more likely that your lower pulse rate is due to your good physical fitness rather than the medication. As your ECG and lipid profile reports are normal, and you are maintaining a normal blood pressure with Telpres CT, there is no need to be concerned about your pulse rate. It is important to continue monitoring your blood pressure regularly and follow up with your healthcare provider for any concerns.

I've been having this neck pain near my carotid pulse for a few days now, and it's like this sharp pain that comes and goes. My carotid pulse feels like it's beating strongly and sometimes fast. The first time it started was when I almost got mad at my boss. I also noticed my neck felt tight, and my tie was a bit snug. The next day, I checked my blood pressure at a clinic, and it was normal. I'm worried about what's going on. Do you think this is something I should be concerned about?

ecg ,cardiac markers and cardiologist opinion is advised.
