View allI'm 53 years old and I noticed that my resting heart rate is consistently between 110 and 120. When I walk, it shoots up to 150. Is this normal, or should I be concerned? Are there any medications you would recommend to help regulate my heart rate to a normal level?
A resting heart rate of 110 to 120 beats per minute is higher than the normal range, and a heart rate of 150+ when walking is also elevated. This could be a sign of tachycardia, which may have various underlying causes. It is important to consult a doctor for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan. However, if you are looking for a medication to help regulate your heart rate, you can consider taking Metoprolol (brand name: Lopressor) at a starting dose of 25mg once daily. This medication is a beta-blocker that can help lower heart rate and blood pressure. It is important to consult a doctor before starting any new medication.

I'm looking at my echo report, and it mentions Grade 1 LVDD. I'm a bit worried. Is this something I should be concerned about? I've attached the echo file so you can take a look. Could you help me understand what this means?
Grade 1 LVDD (Left Ventricular Diastolic Dysfunction) is a mild form of diastolic dysfunction where the left ventricle of the heart has slightly impaired relaxation. It is usually not considered a serious condition on its own, but it can progress to more severe forms if left untreated. Treatment usually involves managing underlying conditions such as high blood pressure or coronary artery disease. Without seeing the echo report, I recommend consulting with a cardiologist for a proper evaluation and treatment plan.
