I've been having some issues with fast pulse and feeling short of breath. It's weird because I don't really feel any heart pain, but I do start sweating. It seems like drinking water helps a bit, but whenever I'm fasting, these symptoms seem to get worse. I'm a bit worried and trying to figure out what could be going on. Any advice?

View allI'm a 24-year-old woman weighing 37kg and my resting heart rate is usually between 120-130bpm, sometimes going up to 134bpm. This has been happening for the past 5 years but I don't have any other health issues or discomfort because of it. Should I be worried about this high heart rate? Could it be dangerous or lead to problems later? I really don't want surgery can this be managed with medicines instead? Does homeopathy work for something like this?
A consistently high resting heart rate (over 100 bpm) like yours (120-130 bpm) should be investigated by a doctor. While it might not be immediately dangerous, it could indicate an underlying issue that needs attention, and can potentially lead to complications later. Medications are often used to manage high heart rate, and homeopathy is not a reliable or scientifically proven treatment for such conditions, according to the Mayo Clinic and the British Heart Foundation.

I'm feeling really dizzy and almost like I'm about to faint. I suddenly started sweating out of nowhere. Can you help me figure out what might be going on and maybe suggest some remedies for it?
You're likely experiencing a vasovagal attack or a panic attack, characterized by dizziness, fainting sensation, sweating, and possible nausea or palpitations; to alleviate symptoms, sit or lie down in a cool, quiet space, loosen tight clothing, take slow, deep breaths, and drink water or other hydrating fluids

I'm really worried about my cholesterol levels. My total cholesterol is now 273 and my LDL cholesterol is at 191, which has gone up from 180. My TcholHDL ratio has also increased to 6.5, and it used to be lower. The LDLHDL ratio is now 4.5, and it was around 2.5 before. My non-HDL cholesterol is 230.92. With all these numbers going up, am I at risk? What should I do to bring everything back to normal? Also, my triglycerides have improved a bit, now at 182 from 305, but I'm still concerned. Would appreciate some guidance.
Your cholesterol levels indicate that you are at an increased risk for cardiovascular diseases. To help lower your cholesterol levels and reduce your risk, you can make lifestyle changes such as following a healthy diet, exercising regularly, and maintaining a healthy weight. Additionally, medication may be prescribed by your doctor to help manage your cholesterol levels. For your high LDL cholesterol, you can consider taking Atorvastatin (brand name Lipitor) at a dosage recommended by your healthcare provider. This medication helps lower LDL cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease. To improve your cholesterol ratios and overall lipid profile, you can also discuss with your doctor about taking Fenofibrate (brand name Tricor) at a suitable dosage. Fenofibrate helps lower triglycerides and non-HDL cholesterol levels, which can further reduce your cardiovascular risk. Remember to consult with your healthcare provider for personalized advice and monitoring of your cholesterol levels.
