I'm worried about my pulse rate, which tends to be pretty high, between 100 and 120, and sometimes even hits 130 or more. I just got over dengue and noticed my pulse was between 90 and 110 during that time. Should I see a cardiologist right away, or is it okay to give my body a few days to rest first?

It is important to monitor your pulse rate closely, especially after recovering from dengue. A persistently high pulse rate can be a sign of an underlying issue that may need medical attention. In your case, since your pulse rate is consistently high and has even increased after recovering from dengue, it would be advisable to consult a cardiologist sooner rather than later. The cardiologist can evaluate your condition, perform any necessary tests, and recommend appropriate treatment. It is better to address any potential concerns promptly to ensure your heart health is optimal.

I've been feeling a bit restless and having some pressure in my chest. The doctor ran some tests including an ECG and a 2D Echo. Most things came back normal, but it showed diastolic dysfunction grade 1. Should I be concerned about this, and what does it even mean for my health?

I've been experiencing chest pain sometimes when I take deep breaths, and I also find myself getting out of breath when I'm walking or using the stairs. My cholesterol numbers came back with a total of 274, HDL at 49, and triglycerides at 193. I'm currently taking Storvas 20 and have been on it for about 20 days now. Can you advise on what steps I should take or if there's anything else I should be concerned about?
Based on your symptoms and cholesterol levels, it is important to continue taking Storvas 20 to help lower your cholesterol levels. In addition, you may benefit from adding an antiplatelet medication like Aspirin 75mg to reduce the risk of heart attack or stroke. It is also important to make lifestyle changes such as following a heart-healthy diet, exercising regularly, and quitting smoking if you smoke. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
