Is it normal to feel like my heart is pounding really hard when I'm exercising? It feels like my heart's just doing a crazy workout on its own, almost like I can hold it in my hand. When I checked, my heart rate was between 130-140 during a heavy workout. I'm 20 and I do have high cholesterol. I had an ECG and echo done back in May, and everything seemed okay. But when I'm resting, my heart rate drops to about 50 bpm and it doesn't feel heavy at all. It's only happening when I'm working out. Should I be worried and stop doing these intense exercises?

It is not uncommon to feel a heavy heartbeat during intense exercise, especially when your heart rate is elevated. Given your age and previous normal cardiac evaluations, it is less likely to be concerning. However, if you continue to experience discomfort or if the symptoms worsen, it may be advisable to modify your exercise routine. To help manage your symptoms, you can consider taking a beta-blocker medication like Metoprolol at a low dose before exercise to help control your heart rate and reduce the sensation of a heavy heartbeat. It is important to consult with your healthcare provider before starting any new medication. Additionally, focusing on aerobic exercises within your target heart rate zone and gradually increasing intensity may also help in reducing the sensation of a heavy heartbeat during exercise.

View allI'm really worried because I've been on amlogard 5 mg and olmesar 10mg for my blood pressure for the past five months. Now, my gastroenterologist has told me I have an intestine infection and said I should stop the olmesar. They suggested I take a different medication instead, but I'm not sure what I should switch to. Do you have any advice on what could work with the amlogard?

I'm Manoj and I'm 30 years old. I've been taking Rozavel F because I was diagnosed with high cholesterol. My LDL is 147, HDL is 32, and triglycerides are 240. I recently had an ECG, and the results showed a borderline ECG and an anteroseptal T wave abnormality that's non-specific. Should I be concerned about these findings? What steps should I take next?

I'm really worried about my dad. He had a severe heart attack on September 2nd, and they put a stent in his coronary artery. Since then, he's been having these fever episodes hitting around 100F. Is that normal after this kind of procedure, or should we be concerned? Also, his blood pressure is around 10060. Is that okay?
Fever after a heart attack and stent placement can sometimes be a sign of infection. Given the recent procedure and his symptoms, it is important to monitor his condition closely. I would recommend consulting with his healthcare provider to rule out any potential infections. In the meantime, you can give him Acetaminophen 500mg every 6 hours to help reduce the fever. Keep a close eye on his temperature and if it persists or worsens, seek medical attention promptly.
