Ive noticed that my heart rate is really highlike around 96 to 108 when Im just sitting, and it shoots up to 110 to 120 once I start walking. I did have COVID about 10 months ago and got my ECG and echo tests done three months back, which came out normal. I also checked my cholesterol and thyroid levels, and they were fine. Should I be concerned about my heart rate, or is this something that will go back to normal over time?

Since your ECG and echo were normal 3 months back, it is less likely to be a serious issue. However, it is important to monitor your heart rate regularly and follow up with your healthcare provider. In the meantime, you can try taking a beta-blocker medication like Metoprolol at a low dose of 25mg once daily to help control your heart rate. Make sure to consult with your doctor before starting any new medication.

I'm having this pain in my left leg that's been bothering me for about 15 days now. I'm 84 and have a history of heart issues, so I'm regularly on medications like Ecospirin, Amlokind for my blood pressure, and some others like Nitrolong and Losar, though I've recently stopped taking Renozex. The pain hits me when I walk. Can you help me figure out what's going on?

I'm dealing with mild diastolic dysfunction, tricuspid regurgitation, and mitral regurgitation. My left ventricular ejection fraction is 55. I'm a little concerned and just wondering how often I should see a cardiologist. Can you tell me more about my current condition? Is it okay for me to do regular activities like climbing stairs? And do I need to change anything about my diet or eating habits?

Having LV diastolic dysfunction, along with TR and MR, all mild, with LVEF of 55 means you have a mild heart condition. You should visit your cardiologist regularly for follow-up appointments to monitor your condition. It is recommended to see your cardiologist at least every 6-12 months or as advised by your doctor. In terms of your present condition, with mild LV diastolic dysfunction, TR, and MR, and an LVEF of 55, you are in a stable condition. You may continue with your normal daily activities, including chores and climbing stairs. However, it is important to avoid excessive physical exertion and follow a heart-healthy diet. For your heart condition, your cardiologist may prescribe medications such as ACE inhibitors like Lisinopril or ARBs like Losartan to help manage your blood pressure and reduce the workload on your heart. They may also recommend beta-blockers like Metoprolol to help improve heart function. Additionally, diuretics like Furosemide may be prescribed to reduce fluid buildup in your body. Remember to follow your cardiologist's advice closely and attend all scheduled follow-up appointments for proper management of your heart condition.
