View allI'm a bit worried about my pulse rate being 130 when I wake up. Is that considered high? I tested positive for COVID-19 on August 5th, 2020, and thankfully, I tested negative by August 29th, 2020. Could this be related to my elevated pulse rate?
A pulse rate of 130 when you wake up is considered high. It is possible that your previous COVID-19 infection could be a contributing factor to this elevated pulse rate. However, it is important to monitor your symptoms and consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation. In the meantime, you can consider taking Metoprolol (brand name: Lopressor) 25mg once daily to help lower your heart rate.

I'm dealing with high cholesterol and recently I've felt some pain in my left chest. I'm pretty worried about what this might mean. Should I be doing something specific or is there anything you recommend I look into?
It is important to manage your high cholesterol to reduce the risk of heart-related issues. You can start by taking Atorvastatin (brand name Lipitor) at a dosage of 10-20 mg daily to lower your cholesterol levels. Additionally, if you are experiencing chest pain, you can take Aspirin at a dosage of 81mg daily to help reduce the risk of blood clots and relieve chest pain. However, it is crucial to seek immediate medical attention if you experience severe or persistent chest pain.

My wife's TMT came back positive, but her echocardiogram and ECG results were normal. Her doctor suggested she get an angiogram. I'm trying to understand if this is the right step at her age, which is 46. Is it usual to go for an angiogram in such cases, or are there other things we should consider first?
The advice for angiogram given by the doctor seems appropriate considering your wife's TMT test being positive. An angiogram can provide detailed information about the blood flow to the heart and help in identifying any blockages in the arteries. Given her age of 46 years and the positive TMT result, it is important to further investigate to ensure proper diagnosis and treatment. I would recommend following the doctor's advice and proceeding with the angiogram to assess the heart's condition accurately.
