I'm really concerned about my mom. She's got a heart rate that's sitting at 100 bpm. What can we do to bring it down to a normal range? Could you suggest any steps, actions, or medications that might help?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
To lower her heart rate to a normal level, she can try relaxation techniques such as deep breathing exercises, meditation, or yoga. It is also important for her to stay hydrated, avoid caffeine and nicotine, and get an adequate amount of sleep. If these lifestyle changes do not help, she can consider taking a beta-blocker medication such as Metoprolol to help lower her heart rate.

I'm feeling like there's an earthquake happening inside me all day long and I've got this little chest pain that's worrying me. I went to a cardiologist a few days back, and they did an ECG and an echo, both of which turned out normal. They prescribed some anxiety meds for the night, but they haven't helped at all and I'm still feeling the same. I'm really anxious about whether this could cause any serious heart issues in the long run. Do you have any advice or solutions that could help me out?
It sounds like you may be experiencing palpitations along with chest pain. Since your ECG and echo were normal, it is less likely to be related to a serious heart problem. However, persistent symptoms should be further evaluated. I recommend trying a beta-blocker medication such as Metoprolol (25-50mg) once daily to help with the palpitations and chest pain. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques such as deep breathing exercises or meditation may also help alleviate your symptoms. If the symptoms persist, it would be best to follow up with your cardiologist for further evaluation and management.

I've been noticing that my blood pressure seems to jump around quite a bit. Sometimes it's around 11575, other times it gets up to 12684, and the highest I've seen is 160101. I'm not on any medications for it right now. Is it normal for blood pressure to fluctuate like this, and what might be causing these changes?
Fluctuating blood pressure, ranging from 11575 to as high as 160101, can be influenced by factors such as stress, diet, physical activity, and underlying medical conditions. To manage this, adopt a heart-healthy diet, reduce salt intake, engage in regular physical activity, manage stress, and avoid excessive alcohol and caffeine. Regularly monitor your blood pressure, noting any patterns or triggers, and keep a log of your readings. Consult your healthcare provider to rule out underlying conditions and determine if medication is necessary. Discuss these fluctuations with your doctor to develop an appropriate management plan.
