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 trying to understand the difference between heart palpitations and arrhythmia. Could you explain how they're different and if one is more serious than the other?

A "heart palpitation" is the feeling of your heart racing, fluttering, or pounding in your chest, which can be caused by various factors including stress, caffeine, or even just a temporary electrical glitch in your heart, while an "arrhythmia" is a medical term for an abnormal heart rhythm, meaning your heart beats irregularly, too fast, or too slow, and can sometimes be a more serious underlying condition that may or may not cause noticeable palpitations

I've been noticing something a bit worrying lately sometimes it feels like my heart just sinks for a brief moment, less than a minute, and then things feel normal again. I kind of ignored it at first, but it happened again today, and now I'm a bit concerned. This has been going on occasionally over the past 34 months, and I've counted around 56 times when this has happened. Do you think this could be a sign of a minor attack, or is it something else I should be looking into? What kind of tests would you recommend I get done?

cardiac markers and ecg are advised..
