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.

I've been wondering if it's safe for someone with a stent in their main heart artery to laugh a lot. Because laughing can increase blood flow, is there a chance it could lead to a higher risk of blood clotting in the artery?

Laughing is generally considered beneficial for overall health as it can reduce stress and improve mood. In the case of a patient with a stent in the main artery of the heart, laughing in moderation should not pose a significant risk of blood clotting. However, it is important for patients with a stent to follow their doctor's recommendations for medication and lifestyle modifications to prevent complications. If you have any concerns about how laughing may affect your heart health, it is best to discuss them with your healthcare provider.
