I'm really concerned about my heart, as I've had a PTCA stent placed to my right coronary artery and right internal artery. But lately, I've been experiencing some wet palpitations now and again. I have Type 2 diabetes and hypertension and I'm 56 years old. Should I be worried about these palpitations, or is this somewhat normal for someone in my situation? What should I do about it?

I'm a bit concerned about getting the COVID vaccine because I had angioplasty about a decade ago and have been taking ecospirin tablets since then. I've heard that the vaccine might be risky for people with a history of blood clots. Could you please shed some light on whether it's safe for someone like me?

It is generally safe for patients who have had angioplasty and are taking ecospirin (aspirin) to receive the Covid vaccine. The benefits of getting vaccinated against Covid-19 outweigh the risks, especially in individuals with a history of heart disease. However, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider before getting vaccinated to ensure it is safe for your specific medical condition.

I walked 2 kilometers in 30 minutes, and my average heart rate was 130 bpm; is that a good level, or is it on the high side? At times, my heart rate even reached 160 bpm. Should I be concerned about this?

Walking for 2 kilometers in 30 minutes is a good exercise. An average heart rate of 130bpm during this activity is within the moderate intensity range for most adults. However, reaching a maximum heart rate of 160bpm indicates that you were pushing yourself towards the higher end of your cardiovascular capacity. It is important to listen to your body and not exceed your maximum heart rate too frequently to avoid overexertion. If you are healthy and have no underlying heart conditions, you can continue with this level of exercise. Remember to stay hydrated and consider incorporating some cool down exercises after your walk to help your heart rate return to normal.
