I've been checking my heart rate with my phone, and it usually reads between 90-100. I don't smoke, drink, or experience any stress, but sometimes my heart feels a bit heavy, even when I'm just resting. Is this normal? I'm 5.9 tall and weigh 75 kg.

View allI'm really concerned about a blockage in all three arteries. I'm worried but also wondering how much time we might have to safely delay surgery. Can you provide some guidance on this?
The patient should not delay surgery if there is blockage in all three arteries at such high percentages. Immediate medical intervention is necessary to prevent any serious complications such as heart attack or stroke. Please consult a cardiologist for further evaluation and treatment.

I'm really concerned about my mom because she's been taking Telmisartan 40 for over a year now. I've noticed she's been feeling fatigued and dizzy, and I'm worried these might be side effects from the medicine. Her blood pressure readings have been normal for a while, so I'm just wondering if it's safe for her to stop taking it?
abruptly discontinuing the medication can lead to rebound hypertension; if her blood pressure remains normal, her doctor may consider gradually tapering off the medication or switching to a different treatment, but it's essential to weigh the potential benefits of stopping the medication against the risks of uncontrolled hypertension.

I have dental caries in 89 teeth and need extractions but I'm on Clopilet A 75 for my CAD with a stent. My dentist says to stop antiplatelet meds for a week before surgery but I'm not sure if it's safe. I take Metrogyl and Augmentin occasionally for infections and mostly eat soft foods. Can I really pause my antiplatelet meds for that long without risking my heart?
It's understandable to be concerned about stopping your antiplatelet medication. While some dentists recommend pausing antiplatelet drugs before dental extractions, it's generally not considered necessary, especially for procedures like extractions that have a low risk of bleeding. Dental extractions can be performed safely without stopping these medications as long as appropriate local hemostatic measures are taken.
