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.

View allI'm a 39-year-old guy and I used to do a lot of sports about 20 years ago. Last May, I had an angiogram that showed a myocardial bridge in my mid LAD, causing 30% systolic narrowing. The doctor said it's nothing serious and pretty normal, but sometimes I still get chest pain and it even goes down my left arm. This pain usually kicks in during the evening and can last through the night. It's weird because it happens in phases, like I'll have it for about 10 days, then it'll disappear for a month or so, only to come back again. I went to see a gastroenterologist too and they think I might have GERD. I had an upper GI endoscopy and they found an H. Pylori infection, so they put me on pantoprazole. That helped a bit, but I still get the chest pain sometimes. I'm anxious a lot, and the doctors mentioned that might be making both the pain and the GERD worse. The heart doctors say the angiogram was normal and that's the gold standard, so they're not worried. I've started exercising, doing yoga, changed my diet, and managed to lose about 5kg. I even cut down on smoking to just one cigarette a day. What do you think might be going on here with this recurring pain?
You are doing great and no need to worry continue the same and have a regular follow up with your doctor

I'm 16 and recently had an electrocardiograph that showed I have incomplete RBBB. The doctors mentioned it might be related to my tonsils because they get inflamed a few times a year, and they're suggesting I get them removed. I tried finding more info about this link between tonsils and RBBB but didn't come across anything helpful. Could you explain how they're connected or if you've seen anything like this before?

I'm a bit worried about my blood pressure levels. Do you think it's at a point where I should see a doctor, or are there steps I can take on my own to bring it down? I've also been having some issues with drinking. Would that be affecting my BP too?
