I'm feeling really worried because I've been dealing with fatigue for about 20 days now, and it just doesn't seem to go away. I've also had some headaches on and off. Could these be signs of a heart attack?

Fatigue and headache are not specific symptoms of a heart attack. However, it is important to pay attention to any unusual symptoms you may be experiencing. Fatigue and headache can be caused by various factors such as stress, lack of sleep, dehydration, or underlying medical conditions. It is recommended to consult a healthcare professional for a proper evaluation and diagnosis.

View allI'm checking my husband's pulse with the oximeter while he's sitting, and it's showing between 55 and 64. He's 34, has no health problems, but is currently COVID positive. Is this a normal reading? Would love some insight!
A pulse rate of 55 to 64 beats per minute while sitting can be considered normal for some individuals, especially those who are physically fit. However, in the context of being COVID positive, it is important to monitor his pulse rate closely as it can be affected by the infection. If he experiences any symptoms like dizziness, shortness of breath, or chest pain along with the low pulse rate, it is advisable to seek medical attention. As of now, continue monitoring his pulse rate and oxygen saturation levels regularly.

I had MVR surgery back in October 2019 and have been on Cordarone 100 mg since then. Over the last month and a half, my heart rate has been consistently between 60-65 bpm. Is this a normal range or should I get it checked by my cardiologist?
A heart rate consistently between 60-65 bpm is generally considered within the normal range for adults, but it's crucial to consider your specific situation. Since you have a history of MVR surgery and are on Cordarone, it's recommended to consult with your cardiologist for their specific recommendations based on your individual health profile.

I'm really worried about my mom. Her blood pressure this morning was 16090, and she's gained 45 kgs in the last 7 months. She doesn't show any other symptoms, but should I be concerned? Do you think she should start on any medication, or is there something else I should do? I'm planning to keep track of her blood pressure from now on. What would you recommend?
High blood pressure (hypertension) can lead to serious health issues if left untreated. Given your mother's blood pressure reading of 16090, it is considered high and should be monitored closely. Since she has also gained weight recently, it is important to address this as well to help lower her blood pressure. I recommend starting with lifestyle modifications such as regular exercise, a healthy diet low in sodium and saturated fats, and weight loss if needed. Additionally, she can start taking an antihypertensive medication such as Losartan 50mg once daily to help lower her blood pressure. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and monitoring.
