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 recently went for a routine check-up and my ECG showed a heart rate of 106. It was marked as an abnormal ECG. Now I'm worried about this result. Could you tell me if this is something I should be concerned about, or is it normal for my age?
A heart rate of 106 beats per minute on an ECG can be considered slightly elevated, but it may not always indicate a serious issue. It is important to consider other factors such as your age, medical history, and any symptoms you may be experiencing. In some cases, a heart rate of 106 may be within normal limits, especially during physical activity or times of stress. However, if you are concerned about your ECG results, it is advisable to consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and guidance. They may recommend monitoring your heart rate, lifestyle modifications, or medications if necessary.

I'm concerned because my mother-in-law is scheduled for pacemaker surgery soon, and we recently lost a relative after a similar procedure. I'm really worried about what to expect. Whats the success rate of pacemaker surgeries? Are there usually a lot of complications afterward? And is it possible for someone to live normally after getting a pacemaker? Would love some guidance on what we should be prepared for.
Pacemaker surgery is generally considered a safe and effective procedure with a high success rate. Most patients experience significant improvements in quality of life and symptom relief after the surgery. While complications can occur, they are relatively rare and may include infection, bleeding, or issues with the pacemaker leads. Most people can live a normal, active life with a pacemaker, but it's important to follow the cardiologist's recommendations and attend regular follow-up appointments to ensure the device is functioning properly. Discuss your concerns with the cardiologist at Medanta Hospital to understand the specific risks and benefits in your mother-in-law's case.
