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?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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.

View allI've been feeling this chest pain every day, and it's making me really uncomfortable. My ECG, echo, and TMT all came back normal, so Im a bit puzzled and worried. Why isn't anything showing up in the tests even though I'm still dealing with these symptoms? What could be going on with my chest?
Given that your ECG, echo, and TMT results are normal, and you continue to experience daily chest pain and discomfort, it's likely that your symptoms might not be heart-related. Other possible causes could include musculoskeletal issues like costochondritis or muscle strain, gastrointestinal problems such as gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), or anxiety-related symptoms. It would be beneficial to consult with a gastroenterologist to rule out any digestive issues and consider a musculoskeletal evaluation for potential muscular causes. Additionally, managing any underlying anxiety through therapy or relaxation techniques may help alleviate your symptoms. Please discuss these possibilities with your healthcare provider for a comprehensive evaluation and appropriate treatment plan.

Is sleeping good for high blood pressure?
People who sleep six hours or less may have steeper increases in blood pressure. If you already have high blood pressure, not sleeping well may make your blood pressure worse. It's thought that sleep helps your body control hormones needed to regulate stress and metabolism.

I've had two stents placed and been on heart and BP meds for about a year now. After surgery, my dietitian said to avoid juices and dry fruits and limit myself to one fruit a day. Now that it's been a while, I'm wondering what kind of diet I should be following can I relax these restrictions or should I stick to them? What's safe for someone like me?
Limit the amount of saturated fat you eat. It is not just about the total fat content of the diet, but also the type of fat in the diet. Try to avoid eating foods that are high in saturated fat. Foods that are high in saturated fat include meat pies, sausages, butter, cream, hard cheese, cakes, biscuits and foods that contain coconut or palm oil. Eating foods that are high in unsaturated fat can help to reduce your cholesterol level. Foods high in unsaturated fat include oily fish (such as herring, mackerel, sardine, salmon), avocados, nuts and seeds, sunflower, rapeseed and olive oil. Reduce you salt intake. Many foods contain hidden salt. Lowering your salt intake can reduce your risk of another MI and also other cardiovascular diseases
