I'm really curious about what my ideal resting heart rate should be. I'm overweight and just started working out. Will my resting heart rate improve as I lose weight?

For a healthy person without any symptoms, it is generally recommended to do a 2D Echo and ECG once every 1-2 years for routine screening. However, if you are experiencing symptoms such as chest pain, palpitations, shortness of breath, or dizziness, it is important to consult with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and appropriate testing frequency.

Question 5

I've done all the tests like an ECG, echo, and TMT, and they all came back normal, but I've been having this pain on my left side of the chest for a month now. I'm worried because it feels like it might be leading up to a heart attack. Could it still...

Accepted Answer

Since your ECG, echo, and TMT results are normal, your chest pain may not be related to a heart attack. However, it is important to further evaluate the cause of your chest pain. You can try taking a pain reliever like acetaminophen (Tylenol) 500mg as needed for the chest pain. If the pain persists or worsens, you may consider taking an antacid like omeprazole (Prilosec) 20mg once a day to see if it helps with the pain. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques and stress management may also be beneficial.

Question 6

I'm 32 and just found out my triglycerides are at 360. Should I be taking meds to bring it down, or is there a natural way to manage this? Really need some guidance here.

Accepted Answer

For your triglyceride level of 360, it is recommended to make lifestyle changes first to try and lower it naturally. This includes maintaining a healthy diet low in saturated fats and sugars, regular exercise, and avoiding alcohol and smoking. However, if these measures are not enough to lower your triglycerides, medication may be necessary. You can consider using Atorvastatin 10mg once daily to help lower your triglyceride levels. Remember to consult with your doctor before starting any medication.
