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've been struggling with high blood pressure for the past five or six years. I've tried Ayurvedic medicines, but they dont seem to be giving me much relief. I'm worried and wondering if I should consider other treatment options. Any advice on what I might do to manage this better?
For the high blood pressure that you have been experiencing for the last five-six years, it is important to consider switching to allopathic medications for better control. I recommend starting with a medication called Amlodipine (brand name Norvasc) at a starting dose of 5mg once daily. This medication is commonly used to treat high blood pressure and can help lower your blood pressure effectively. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and monitoring of your condition.

I'm 23 and don't have any bad habits like alcohol or smoking, but because of my IT job, I'm sitting in front of a laptop a lot. I do eat fast food occasionally. Recently, I've felt a needle-like pain in my right upper chest that only lasts a second, and it has me worried about my heart health. I stress over various things, and I noticed my pulse is usually between 92-100 bpm. This morning it was 97 bpm. Im just wondering if my lack of physical activity might be affecting my heart. Plus, I have some gastric issues too. What do you think might be going on?
It's important to address your concerns. The needle-like pain sensation in your right upper chest, occurring briefly, could be related to musculoskeletal issues or even gastric problems. Given your sedentary lifestyle and stress levels, it's advisable to incorporate some physical activity into your routine. To help with your gastric issues, you can try taking Omeprazole 20mg once daily before breakfast for a few weeks. Additionally, for your heart health and to manage stress, you can consider taking Propranolol 20mg twice daily. However, it's crucial to consult a healthcare professional for a proper evaluation and personalized treatment plan.
