Question 1

I've noticed that when I'm just walking at a normal pace, my pulse rate sometimes jumps to around 130. I'm not doing any brisk walking, just regular walking. Is this something I should be concerned about? My ECG came out normal, but I'm still a bit worried about this pulse range of 110-130 when I'm just walking. Any thoughts?

Accepted Answer

A pulse rate of 110-130 during normal walking can be considered normal for some individuals, especially if you are not used to regular physical activity. Since you have already undergone an ECG and it was normal, it is a good sign that your heart is functioning well. However, it is always recommended to consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice.

Question 2

I've been having this tightness in my chest and feeling really tired, plus I'm not sleeping well at all. It's also making my mood all over the place and I'm dealing with some shortness of breath too. Could these symptoms be connected? Should I be concerned or is this something that will pass on its own?

Accepted Answer

You may be experiencing symptoms of anxiety or stress. To help with these symptoms, you can try taking over-the-counter medication such as lorazepam (Ativan) 1mg as needed for anxiety. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing exercises or meditation, may also be beneficial. If symptoms persist, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

Question 3

I'm really worried about this ongoing chest pain I've been having for the last eight months. Sometimes it's sharp and hits right in the center or other areas of my chest, and even my breast. I've also got this pain on the left side of my chest that spreads to my upper back on the same side. I had an ECG and a 2D echo done about five months ago, and everything looked normal then. But this pain really scares me, and I'm not sure what my next steps should be or which specialist I should see. My Spo2 levels are between 94 and 97, and my resting pulse is around 53 to 60 in the early mornings. Could you help point me in the right direction?

Patient is advised cardiac markers, spirometry ad complete blood count.

I've been experiencing some pain in my left armpit and the far left side of my chest, near the armpit, for almost an hour. It's not super sharp, but it's definitely something I've never felt before. It went away after a while, and I feel fine now. Do you think I should be worried about this?

Electrocardiogram is advised ,kindly review with the reports..
