I'm experiencing heart palpitations for the past nine months and have been feeling uneasiness on the left side of my rib cage for the last 34 days. Almost every day, I get this sudden, strong or late heartbeat sensation that really stuns me when it happens. It's making me quite uncomfortable. What might be causing this?

View allI'm a bit concerned about my resting heart rate, which is usually around 115. Is that normal? Could this have any negative implications on my health? I try to stay active with moderate exercise and spend time outdoors 5 to 6 days a week, and I don't have any known health issues. Should I be taking any specific precautions?
A resting heart rate of 115 beats per minute is higher than the normal range, which is typically between 60-100 beats per minute for adults. This condition is known as tachycardia and can have negative effects on your health if left untreated. It may be caused by factors such as stress, dehydration, caffeine intake, or certain medications. To lower your resting heart rate and reduce the risk of complications, you can try the following precautions: - Stay hydrated and avoid excessive caffeine intake - Practice stress-reducing techniques such as deep breathing or meditation - Ensure you are getting enough quality sleep - Consider incorporating relaxation exercises into your routine If your resting heart rate remains consistently high, despite these precautions, I recommend consulting with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management. In some cases, medication such as beta-blockers may be prescribed to help lower the heart rate.

I'm really confused and anxious about my heart health. Even though my CT angiography and troponin tests came back negative with no blockages, I can't shake this worry. I've been taking Concor 5 in the morning, and Cardace 5 and Ceruvin A at night. I also lost weight and quit smoking over the last year and a half. But I still keep stressing over the possibility of a heart attack. My blood pressure usually stays under control, between 12080 to 13085, but it tends to spike when I'm feeling really anxious about my heart. What should I do about these feelings and my health?
No need to worry,you are doing good maintain the same healthy life style,and you are using protective medicines already soo the risk of heartatack is already taken care,take adequate rest and have a regular follow up with your doctor

I'm a bit worried about my cholesterol and triglyceride levels. They've been at 219 and 342 respectively, for the last 6 months. I don't have any other medical issues. Do you think I need to start taking medication for this? I'm really unsure and would appreciate your advice.
Your cholesterol level of 219 and triglyceride level of 342 are elevated, indicating a risk for cardiovascular disease. In this case, medication may be necessary to help lower your cholesterol and triglyceride levels to reduce the risk of heart disease. I recommend starting on a statin medication such as Atorvastatin (brand name Lipitor) at a dosage of 20mg daily to help lower your cholesterol levels. Additionally, you can consider adding Fenofibrate (brand name Tricor) at a dosage of 145mg daily to specifically target your triglyceride levels. It is important to follow up with your doctor regularly to monitor your progress and adjust your treatment plan as needed.
