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've been really worried about having a heart attack. I keep feeling symptoms like pain in my left hand, chest pain, dizziness, fatigue, shaking, fever, and even a cough. It's getting hard to focus on my daily activities because I'm always noticing these symptoms. I've done multiple testslike ECGs, an echo, a stress ECG test, a troponin test, and also an X-ray. My cholesterol has been checked twice too. All the results came back normal, but I still can't shake off the fear of having a heart attack. Why do I still feel this way despite all the normal test results?
It sounds like you are experiencing a lot of anxiety and fear related to the possibility of having a heart attack, despite multiple tests showing normal results. It's important to address your anxiety and stress levels in addition to your physical health. In your case, I would recommend a low dose of an anti-anxiety medication such as lorazepam (Ativan) 0.5mg to be taken as needed when you feel overwhelmed by these symptoms. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques such as deep breathing exercises, meditation, and regular physical activity can also help manage your anxiety. Remember to consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new medication.

I'm 24 and I've been noticing my heart rate is usually under 60 beats a minute. Should I be worried about this, or is it normal? I weigh 120kg, and I'm 5'10". Also, I was diagnosed with GERD a few weeks back and have been on medication for it. Is it okay for my resting heart rate to be in the 50s?
A resting heart rate below 60 beats per minute is known as bradycardia. In your case, with a history of GERD and being on medication, it is important to consider the overall clinical picture. However, in general, a heart rate in the 50s can be normal for some individuals, especially those who are physically fit. Given your weight and height, it would be advisable to monitor your heart rate regularly and consult with your healthcare provider if you experience any symptoms such as dizziness, fainting, chest pain, or shortness of breath. It is important to ensure that your GERD medication is not causing any adverse effects on your heart rate.
