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.

View allI'm really worried about having three blocked arteries in the heart. Is bypass surgery the best option for this situation, or are there other treatments I should consider? I've heard a lot about different procedures, but it's all a bit confusing. What do you recommend?
Yes, bypass surgery is often recommended for blockages in multiple arteries of the heart. The surgery involves creating new pathways for blood to flow to the heart muscle by using a healthy blood vessel from another part of the body or a synthetic tube. This can help improve blood flow to the heart and reduce symptoms such as chest pain and shortness of breath. The specific medication and dosage post-surgery will depend on individual factors and should be prescribed by your healthcare provider.

I'm curious about something. Can heart attacks cause just pain in the left arm with no chest pain at all? I've been feeling a bit of pain in my left arm, like above the elbow and sometimes near the shoulder. Should I be worried? Can heart issues manifest as only arm pain and not have any chest pain involved?
ecg and cardiac markers are advised to the pt.
