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 feeling concerned because my heart has been pumping really fast for a while before calming down to normal. When it speeds up, it feels like it's going to jump out of my chest. What could be causing this, and should I be worried?
It sounds like you may be experiencing episodes of palpitations. Palpitations are sensations of a rapid or irregular heartbeat. One common cause of palpitations is atrial fibrillation, where the heart beats irregularly and often rapidly. It is important to consult a doctor for proper evaluation and management. In the meantime, you can try taking a beta-blocker medication such as Metoprolol (brand name: Lopressor) to help slow down your heart rate. The usual starting dose for Metoprolol is 25-50 mg twice daily. However, please consult a doctor before starting any new medication.

I'm a bit worried about the change in meds. Initially, after just taking Telma AM 40, there was swelling in the feet, and the doc switched to TELMA 40 which was alright for a while, but then my blood pressure got high again. Now they've got me on TELMIKIND 40 H S and NUMLO5 for the past 8 days. But after taking them, I start feeling really weak and lethargic just a few hours later. Is this normal side effect or should I be concerned about this change?
That could be imbalance between electrolytes once check his electrolytes and visit Physician for proper evaluationa and appropriate management

I'm a bit concerned because my ECG results show an inversion in lead 3 and AVF. I don't really have any pain, but I do have high blood pressure. My exercise treadmill test (ETT) came back negative, and my echocardiogram is normal too. So, what's causing these inverted T waves, and should I be worried about it?
The inversion of T waves in lead 3 and aVF on your ECG could be due to various reasons, including but not limited to hypertension. Since your exercise tolerance test (ETT) is negative and your echocardiogram is normal, it is less likely to be related to coronary artery disease. However, it is important to monitor your blood pressure closely and make sure it is well controlled. In this case, medications like Amlodipine 5mg once daily can be prescribed to help manage your high blood pressure and potentially improve the T wave inversion. Regular follow-ups with your healthcare provider are essential to monitor your condition.
