Ive been experiencing some pain in the heart area of my chest whenever I bend backwards and raise my hands. It just started this morning. Yesterday, I was doing deep breathing exercises for PMR and some physical workouts. Do you think there's an issue if I use a spray like Volini on that area?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Applying Volini spray on the chest area for chest pain is not recommended, especially if the pain is in the heart area and is triggered by specific movements. It is important to rule out any underlying heart issues before using any topical pain relief medication. I recommend you to consult a doctor for proper evaluation and diagnosis.

View allI'm a bit concerned about my hs-CRP levels because they came back at 1 mgL. Is that considered high for my age? I'm wondering how I can lower it. Also, I noticed my CRP level is only 0.13 mgdL, which seems good. How often should I be checking these, along with my lipid profile?
"Hs-CRP level of 1 mgl is considered to be low risk for cardiovascular disease. To reduce it further, you can consider incorporating lifestyle changes such as regular exercise, healthy diet, and stress management. In some cases, medications like Atorvastatin 10mg daily can also help lower hs-CRP levels. For your CRP level of 0.13 mgdl, it is within the normal range. To maintain this level, continue with a healthy lifestyle. As for how often to repeat these tests along with lipid profile, it is generally recommended to repeat them annually for routine monitoring, unless your doctor advises otherwise based on your individual health status."

So, I've been keeping track of my heart rate and noticed that my resting heart rate is usually between 50 and 55 bpm. I'm a 20-year-old guy, relatively healthy, and Im about 6'2 tall, weighing 74 kg. When I do high-intensity interval training, my heart rate can spike up to 150-160 bpm. Is this normal for someone my age and build, or should I be concerned about these numbers?
A resting heart rate averaging around 50-55 bpm can be normal for a healthy 20-year-old male, especially if you are physically active or an athlete, as regular exercise often leads to a lower resting heart rate due to increased cardiovascular efficiency. Reaching a heart rate of 150-160 bpm during High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) is also within normal ranges for vigorous exercise. However, if you experience symptoms such as dizziness, fatigue, or fainting, it would be advisable to consult with a healthcare provider to ensure there are no underlying issues. Otherwise, your heart rate appears consistent with a healthy, active lifestyle.
