I'm really concerned about my wife's health. Last night, her resting heart rate on the wrist was showing 5257 while she was sleeping. This morning, I checked her blood pressure with our digital home monitor and it was 95 over 86, with a heart rate of 65. Are these numbers too low, and could something be wrong? Also, how reliable is a home BP monitor for checking these things?

A resting heart rate of 52-57 beats per minute is considered normal for some individuals, especially athletes or those who are physically fit. A blood pressure reading of 9586 mmHg is slightly lower than the normal range, but if your wife is not experiencing any symptoms such as dizziness, lightheadedness, or fainting, it may not be a cause for concern. The heart rate of 65 beats per minute is also within the normal range. Home blood pressure monitors can be reliable if used correctly. Make sure to follow the instructions provided with the device, such as positioning the cuff at heart level and ensuring it is the right size for your wife's arm. If your wife is otherwise healthy and not experiencing any symptoms, these readings may not be alarming. However, it is always a good idea to consult with a healthcare professional for a proper evaluation and personalized advice based on her medical history and overall health status.

I'm really worried because my dad's having some mild chest pain. The doctor suggested an X-ray and then mentioned a CT-guided FNAC, but we're stuck since there aren't any clinics nearby that offer this procedure. On top of that, we're not in a strong financial position. Can you guide me on what we should do next? I'm feeling pretty lost right now.

I'm 29 and since 2018, I've been experiencing skipped or missed heartbeats, which make me feel really uneasy. In 2019, I had an ECG, an echo, and a TMT done, and they didn't find anything. Recently, I've had two more ECGs and still nothing showed up. The doctor prescribed ivabradine and some anxiety medicine. I also discovered I have hyperthyroidism. I got some relief, but the symptoms have started again, and I'm really scared and worried that something serious is going on. Can you help me figure out what's happening and where I should go to find out the exact cause?
It's understandable to feel anxious and concerned about your symptoms. Skipped or missed heartbeats, known as palpitations, can be distressing but are often benign, especially with normal ECG, echo, and TMT results. Hyperthyroidism can contribute to palpitations and should be managed effectively. Since you have already been prescribed ivabradine and an anxiety medication, it's important to continue following your doctor's advice and taking your medications as directed. Given your ongoing symptoms and anxiety, it might be beneficial to seek a comprehensive evaluation at a specialized center, such as a tertiary care hospital with a cardiology and endocrinology department. They can conduct further tests, such as a Holter monitor to track your heart rhythms over 24-48 hours, and refine your treatment plan. Additionally, managing anxiety through therapy, relaxation techniques, and lifestyle changes can also help alleviate your symptoms. Please consult with your healthcare provider to discuss your concerns and consider a referral to a specialist if needed.
