I'm Gajendra, and I'm 30. Lately, I've been having trouble with high blood pressure and a fast pulse. What should I do about this?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
For high blood pressure and elevated pulse, you can start by making lifestyle changes such as reducing salt intake, maintaining a healthy weight, exercising regularly, and managing stress. Additionally, you can take medication to help control your blood pressure. I recommend taking "Losartan" at a starting dosage of 50mg once daily. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for proper monitoring and adjustment of your treatment plan.

View allI'm 27 and have had no bad habits. For the last eight months, I've been experiencing these quick chest pains on the left side; they just last about 5 to 15 seconds, and they come and go. I've been to the cardiologist and had around 20 ECGs, an echo, and a lipid profile done, and everything came back normal. The thing is, I don't feel any pain during heavy work, just at random times. I'm worried and wondering if this is a heart issue or maybe something physiological? Also, at home, my heart rate is slow, but as soon as I enter the hospital and the tension hits, my heart rate spikes. What could be going on?
It sounds like you may be experiencing episodes of non-cardiac chest pain, especially since your cardiology checkups including ECG, echo, and lipid profile have come back normal. Non-cardiac chest pain can be caused by issues such as muscle strain, anxiety, or gastrointestinal problems. Since your symptoms have been ongoing for eight months and are not related to heavy work, it is less likely to be a heart-related issue. To help with the chest pain, you can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques or deep breathing exercises may help with episodes of high heart rate related to tension. If the chest pain persists or worsens, it would be advisable to consult with a doctor for further evaluation and management.

My fiance is just 22 and she's started having symptoms of bradycardia for about a month now. Her heart rate is averaging between 40 and 47 bpm, which seems super low, and she's getting tired really fast. She even has syncope sometimes. Her heart's actually healthy otherwise, but the doctor thinks it might be something with her body's natural pacemaker. They've recommended a pacemaker, but we're really hoping for a cure instead. Is there anything else we can explore?
Symptomatic Bradycardia with a heart rate of 40-47 bpm and exhaustion can be concerning. In cases where a pacemaker is not desired, medication therapy can be considered. One common medication used to increase heart rate in cases of symptomatic Bradycardia is Atropine. The usual dosage for Atropine in adults is 0.5 to 1 mg IV every 3 to 5 minutes as needed, with a maximum dose of 3 mg. However, the use of Atropine should be carefully monitored by a healthcare professional. It is important to follow up with your doctor for proper evaluation and management of the condition.
