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.

View allI've been having this stabbing chest pain for the past couple of days, especially when I laugh or cough. I've already tried taking Rantac and Gelusil, but it hasn't helped at all. It's making me feel really uneasy. Can you tell me what's going on or what I should do?

I've had a heart stroke before, back in 2008, and my doctor told me to take Ranozex 1gm twice a day. He also recommended a thallium test. I'm wondering if I could switch to RANCAD 1000mg Ranolazine from Lupin Ltd instead of the Ranozex 1gm. Is it okay to use different brands of the same medication? Just want to make sure it's safe.
yes u can take the medication composition is same only brand name is different..

I'm just curious about some things regarding my health. I had a CT angio three years ago and it came back normal. Im wondering, how long are these results usually considered valid or acceptable? Also, Ive been on Lodoz 2.5 for about three months now. Before I started the medication, my blood pressure was around 120 to 130, and it's still in that range after taking the medicine. However, I've noticed my heart rate is now between 55 and 65. Is that normal, or should I be thinking about stopping the meds? By the way, I'm 5'7" and weigh 82 kg. Any advice on this would really help!
A normal CT angiography from three years ago is generally considered reliable, but its crucial to continue regular check-ups, especially if you have ongoing symptoms or risk factors for heart disease. Lodoz (which contains bisoprolol and hydrochlorothiazide) is prescribed to manage blood pressure and heart rate. Your current blood pressure of 120-130 mmHg and heart rate of 55-65 bpm are within reasonable ranges, especially if you are asymptomatic. Do not stop your medication without consulting your healthcare provider, as they can assess your overall health, review your medication needs, and decide on the best course of action. They might also suggest lifestyle changes, such as regular exercise, a healthy diet, and weight management, to further support your heart health.
