I've been experiencing some unusual symptoms and I'm getting a bit worried. A few days ago, I had trouble breathing, and then I started feeling pain in my ribs that moved towards my left chest. It happened again recently, and I'm concerned it might be related to a heart issue. Could you please advise me on what this could be or suggest any treatment?

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.

I'm monitoring my blood pressure, and it's been around 15595 for the past three days. I've been feeling a slight sensitive vibration in my head, too. This is the first time my blood pressure has been high like this, and I haven't taken any medication before. What would you recommend I do? Is there a specific tablet I should consider?

I'm curious if heart angioscopy can diagnose all heart issues. Can it detect problems with both valves and arteries? I'm really anxious to know.

In heart angiography, doctors can visualize the blood flow in the coronary arteries to check for blockages or narrowing that may indicate coronary artery disease. However, heart angiography does not directly assess heart valve problems. To evaluate heart valve problems, doctors may use other tests such as echocardiography.
