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 really worried because I got my ECG done and it came back abnormal. The report mentions sinus tachycardia and right atrial enlargement. What does that mean exactly? Should I be concerned about this? My heart rate was really high at the time of the test, but my other tests, like thyroid and lipid profile, were normal. Can you help me understand what might be going on?
Hello sir, based on your description of the ECG findings showing sinus tachycardia and right atrial enlargement, along with the symptoms of high heart rate, it indicates that your heart is beating faster than normal and the right upper chamber of your heart is enlarged. Sinus tachycardia can be caused by various factors such as stress, anxiety, caffeine, or certain medications. Right atrial enlargement can be a sign of heart conditions such as heart failure or lung disease. To address the sinus tachycardia, you can take a beta-blocker medication like Metoprolol at a starting dose of 25mg once daily, which can help slow down your heart rate. For the right atrial enlargement, managing the underlying cause such as treating heart failure or lung disease is important. It is also essential to follow up with a cardiologist for further evaluation and management.
