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've been using our digital BP machine at home, and every time I check my husband's blood pressure, it's usually in the range of 140150 over 90100. I'm a bit concerned because he's only 30 years old. I typically measure it first thing in the morning when he wakes up. Is this a normal range for someone his age? What should we do?

check it 3 time a day after food and if the bp still persists more than 140 consult your doctor

My aunt recently had a TMT test which came back positive, so she had a CAG done afterward. The doctor said everything looked normal, with no artery blockages, but she was still given medicine for heart attack prevention and blood circulation. Does this mean there's possibly another issue going on? I'm really concerned and don't quite understand why she'd need these medications if there's no blockage. Could it be related to something else?

It is possible that your aunt's symptoms could be related to other cardiovascular issues such as coronary artery disease or heart failure. However, without more information about her specific symptoms and medical history, it is difficult to provide a definitive answer. The medications prescribed for heart attacks and blood circulation issues are typically aimed at preventing future cardiovascular events and improving overall heart health. It is important for your aunt to continue taking the prescribed medications as directed by her doctor to reduce the risk of any potential complications.

My dad just went through angioplasty a couple of weeks ago and now that he's out of the hospital, I'm really concerned about what kind of diet he should be following. I'm looking for guidance on the best foods he should eat to help with his recovery. Any advice would be really appreciated.

After angioplasty, it is important for your father to follow a heart-healthy diet to promote recovery and reduce the risk of further heart issues. He should focus on consuming a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and healthy fats. Some specific foods to include in his diet are: - Oats: High in soluble fiber which can help lower cholesterol levels - Fatty fish like salmon or mackerel: Rich in omega-3 fatty acids which are good for heart health - Nuts and seeds: Almonds, walnuts, chia seeds, flaxseeds are good sources of healthy fats - Berries: Blueberries, strawberries, raspberries are rich in antioxidants - Leafy greens: Spinach, kale, collard greens are packed with vitamins and minerals It is also important for him to limit his intake of saturated fats, trans fats, cholesterol, and sodium. Encourage him to drink plenty of water and avoid sugary beverages. Regular physical activity and stress management are also important components of a heart-healthy lifestyle.
