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?

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 a bit confused about the difference between a 2D echo and a stress 2D echo. Can you explain how they're different and in what situations each one might be used? Also, I've heard about coronary angiography but I'm not quite clear on what it is and why someone would need to have it done. I'm feeling a little anxious about all these procedures and would appreciate some clarity.
