I've been having an abnormal heart rate for the past month, consistently between 90 and 110. I was on high blood pressure medication but stopped taking it two months ago based on my doctor's advice. They told me to keep an eye on my blood pressure, but I'm worried about whether my heart rate is something to be concerned about. Should I be seeing any changes, or is this normal after stopping the medication?

It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly, especially if you have a history of high blood pressure. Since you are experiencing an abnormal heart rate, it is crucial to manage your blood pressure effectively. You can monitor your blood pressure at home using a digital blood pressure monitor. If your blood pressure remains consistently high, your doctor may recommend restarting your high blood pressure medication. In the meantime, it is important to stay hydrated, maintain a healthy diet low in sodium, and engage in regular physical activity to help manage your blood pressure.

View allI'm really concerned because my dad just had Angioplasty and Thrombosuction after he suffered a major heart attack last week. Now he's experiencing pain in the fingers of the hand that was used for the procedure. Has anyone seen this before, and what should we do about it?
Pain in the fingers of the hand used for angioplasty could be due to several factors, including irritation from the catheter insertion site, bruising, or local inflammation. It's important to monitor the area for signs of infection, such as increased redness, swelling, warmth, or discharge. Resting the hand and applying a cold compress can help alleviate discomfort. However, if the pain persists or worsens, or if there are signs of infection or compromised blood flow (such as color changes in the fingers or numbness), please contact your father's healthcare provider promptly for further evaluation and management.

I'm dealing with Sinus Arrhythmia and have been on Cordarone 100 daily. I recently had a 24-hour Holter monitor test, which showed many periods of Sinus Bradycardia and frequent PVCs. My Echo cardiogram says LVEF is 72 with Trivial MRTR. Everything else like my ECG, lipid, thyroid, kidney, and liver profiles are coming back normal. My HbA1c is at 4.9 and my hemoglobin is 15.10. Can you please help me understand what all this means and if there's anything specific I should be doing or worrying about?

Can you recommend which Saffola oil is better for a heart patient, especially after they've recently dealt with heart issues? I'm really worried and want to make sure I choose the best option for their health.
For heart health, Saffola Total Pro Heart Oil is a good option. It contains a blend of rice bran oil and safflower oil, which is rich in oryzanol and natural Vitamin E. The recommended dosage is 2-3 teaspoons per day for cooking purposes.
