I've noticed that when I'm just walking at a normal pace, my pulse rate sometimes jumps to around 130. I'm not doing any brisk walking, just regular walking. Is this something I should be concerned about? My ECG came out normal, but I'm still a bit worried about this pulse range of 110-130 when I'm just walking. Any thoughts?

A pulse rate of 110-130 during normal walking can be considered normal for some individuals, especially if you are not used to regular physical activity. Since you have already undergone an ECG and it was normal, it is a good sign that your heart is functioning well. However, it is always recommended to consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice.

Clean gently with saline or antiseptic‚Äînot hydrogen peroxide as it delays wound healing.
