I'm a bit worried because I have anemia and my ESR levels are raised. I generally do slow-paced walking covering an average of 45 km, but my resting heart rate seems to be in the range of 48 to 65. My last two ECG readings were 53 and 48. I'm not experiencing any fainting spells or dizziness, but is this okay and considered normal?
Your resting heart rate of 48-65 beats per minute is within the normal range for adults, especially for individuals who engage in regular physical activity like slow pace walking. Anemia and raised ESR (Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate) may indicate an underlying inflammatory condition. Since you do not experience faint spells or dizziness, it is reassuring. However, it is important to further investigate the cause of anemia and raised ESR. I recommend consulting a doctor for a complete evaluation and appropriate management.

I'm really worried about my father. He's been diagnosed with severe coronary ectasia and previously, doctors mentioned that a bypass surgery isn't an option for him. I'm wondering if treatments like Ace Inhibitors or the drug Entresto could be effective in his situation? Lately, he's been having more frequent chest pains and feeling a lot of unease. Could you provide some guidance on this?
For the treatment of coronary ectasia, Ace Inhibitors such as Lisinopril can be beneficial in managing symptoms and improving heart function. The recommended dosage of Lisinopril is usually starting at 2.5-5 mg once a day, which can be adjusted by the doctor based on individual response. Entresto, which is a combination of Sacubitril and Valsartan, can also be considered for the treatment of heart failure in patients with reduced ejection fraction. The usual starting dose of Entresto is 4951 mg twice daily, which can be increased to the target maintenance dose of 97103 mg twice daily as tolerated. However, it is important to consult with your father's healthcare provider before starting any new medication or making changes to his current treatment plan. Regular monitoring and follow-up with a healthcare professional are essential in managing coronary ectasia and associated symptoms.
