I've been experiencing times when my breathing stops while I'm asleep, and my heart rate drops below 55, which sometimes makes me feel dizzy. I'm not very active, and my weight is normal. I'm wondering if these could be signs of a heart problem. Can you give me some advice on what might be happening?

Im 24 and use a fitness tracker every day to monitor my sleep and activity. Ive noticed my heart rate is usually over 80 BPM, except when Im asleep. Whats the ideal BPM I should aim for, and how can I manage it better?

The ideal resting heart rate for adults is generally between 60-100 beats per minute (BPM). Since your BPM is consistently above 80, it may indicate that you have a higher resting heart rate. To help keep your heart rate in control, you can try incorporating regular exercise, maintaining a healthy weight, managing stress levels, and avoiding stimulants like caffeine and nicotine. If you continue to have concerns about your heart rate, you may consider consulting with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and guidance.

I've been on high blood pressure medication for the past year, taking Telma 20, and I added Prazopress XL 5 about two months ago. My blood pressure is finally under control now, so I'm wondering, is it possible for me to stop taking Prazopress? Or should I definitely talk to a doctor about this change?

no u have to continue with the medications for BP.. If u have any side-effects like bradycardia ,blurred vision , palpitations u can stop the medication.. U can take tab telma h (20+12.5) mg orally once daily in the morning..
