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'm 27 and work as an engineer. I recently had angioplasty after a heart attack, and now I'm really worried about my future. Should I still consider getting married? I'm afraid if I tell a potential partner about my heart issues, they might back out. It's making me think about staying single forever. What should I do?
getting a heart attack at young age and undergoing angioplasty should not restrict you from leading a healthy and happy life. You can marry after a heart attack after informing your future wife. Regarding your cardiac rehabilitation and future lifestyle advice i need further details.

I'm Priyanka, and I'm a bit concerned about my health. My TMT test showed inconclusive results regarding ischemia. I'm also looking at my lipid profile, which shows total cholesterol at 172, triglycerides at 172, HDL at 42, and LDL at 95.5. Could you help me understand what these numbers mean for my health and suggest any steps I should take? I've been feeling unwell, and I'm not sure what to do next.
Hello Priyanka, based on your test results and symptoms, it seems like you may be experiencing some cardiovascular issues. I would recommend starting treatment with a statin medication to help lower your LDL cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of cardiovascular events. You can start taking Atorvastatin 20mg once daily to help improve your lipid profile and reduce the risk of ischaemia. Additionally, you should focus on lifestyle modifications such as a healthy diet, regular exercise, and stress management to further improve your overall cardiovascular health.

I'm currently taking Telma 40 in the morning and half a tablet of Ivabradine 5 in the evening, both after meals. I'm wondering if I could possibly take both the Telma and the half Ivabradine together in the morning after breakfast instead of spreading them out. Would that be okay?
Taking Telma 40 and Ivabradine 5 together in the morning after breakfast instead of at different times is not recommended. It is important to follow the prescribed dosing schedule to ensure the effectiveness of the medications. Telma (Telmisartan) 40 should be taken in the morning after food, while Ivabradine 5 should be taken in the evening after food. It is best to follow the prescribed timing to achieve the desired therapeutic effects of both medications.
