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 really worried about having three blocked arteries in the heart. Is bypass surgery the best option for this situation, or are there other treatments I should consider? I've heard a lot about different procedures, but it's all a bit confusing. What do you recommend?
Yes, bypass surgery is often recommended for blockages in multiple arteries of the heart. The surgery involves creating new pathways for blood to flow to the heart muscle by using a healthy blood vessel from another part of the body or a synthetic tube. This can help improve blood flow to the heart and reduce symptoms such as chest pain and shortness of breath. The specific medication and dosage post-surgery will depend on individual factors and should be prescribed by your healthcare provider.

My mom has an artery blockage of 60-70% in just one artery. The doctor mentioned using a stent. Are there other treatments for her heart besides a stent?
For a 60-70% artery blockage, the placement of a stent is a common and effective treatment option. However, depending on the specific circumstances and location of the blockage, your mother's doctor may consider other alternatives such as medication therapy or coronary artery bypass surgery. It is important to follow your doctor's recommendation for the most appropriate treatment plan.
