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.

My father had angioplasty last December but still has a mild blockage. The doctor said they'll deal with it later and he's on meds now but has constant coughing. Will the meds clear the blockage or will he need another surgery? If surgery is needed how soon should it be done? He's reluctant to go back to the hospital and I'm worried about his condition

do echo first.

I've had a permanent pacemaker for over three and a half years now. My health has been really great lately, and I'm feeling fit and fine. I'm curious to know if there's any possibility of getting the pacemaker removed at this point.

I'm glad to hear that your health is good. The decision to remove a permanent pacemaker is based on individual circumstances and should be discussed with your cardiologist. If your heart condition has improved significantly and no longer requires the pacemaker, it may be possible to have it removed. However, this decision should only be made after thorough evaluation and consultation with your cardiologist.

I'm looking at my report and it notes that I have a sinus rhythm with a heart rate of 81 and marked right axis deviation. I'm a bit anxious and just want to understand if this is normal or if there's something I should be concerned about. Could you help clarify what this means for my health?

report is not normal.. right axis deviation is of serious underlying pathology.AN ECHO is advised and cardiac opinion..probable diagnosis could be right ventricular hypertrophy, rt bundle branch block embolism, lung diseases,hyperkalemia and septal defects...
