Question 1

I'm noticing that my heart rate is going above 100-115 from time to time. My blood pressure is normal, but my hemoglobin level is 10.8. About a month ago, I had an ECG done, and it showed sinus tachycardia and IRBBB. But I'm still experiencing a heart rate over 100-115. Should I be worried about this? What might be causing it?

Accepted Answer

Based on your symptoms and previous ECG findings, you may benefit from taking a beta-blocker medication to help control your heart rate. I recommend you take Metoprolol (brand name: Lopressor) at a starting dose of 25mg twice daily. This medication can help regulate your heart rate and improve your symptoms. However, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider for proper evaluation and monitoring.

Question 2

I'm 29 years old and I've noticed that my resting heart rate is usually between 50 and 60. However, sometimes when I check it in the morning right after getting up, it shows numbers like 46 to 48. During a 2 km run, my heart rate shoots up to 160 or 170, and while walking, it's around 90 to 120. My ECG results have all come back normal, so Im wondering if my low resting heart rate is something I should be concerned about. Is this normal?

Accepted Answer

A resting heart rate between 50 to 60 beats per minute is considered normal for adults, especially for individuals who are physically active. It can be a sign of good cardiovascular fitness. However, if you are experiencing symptoms such as dizziness, fainting, chest pain, or shortness of breath along with the low heart rate, it is important to consult a doctor for further evaluation. Since your ECG reports are normal, the low resting heart rate is likely due to your good physical fitness level. During exercise, it is normal for the heart rate to increase significantly, as you mentioned reaching 160-170 beats per minute while running. This response is expected and shows that your heart is able to adapt and meet the increased demand for oxygen during physical activity. Overall, based on the information provided, your heart rate variations seem to be within normal ranges for someone who is physically active and with normal ECG results.

Question 3

I'm experiencing a really weird feeling in my chest that sometimes eases up when I take a deep breath. My heart rate speeds up occasionally too. I did a spirometry test, which showed normal results with my fev1fvc at 98.8, and my oximeter reading is at 98. I quit smoking about 2 months ago, but I still have some burping issues from gastric problems. It's got me worried, and I'm not sure what's going on. Could you help me figure out what might be happening?
