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 struggling with these intense headaches since I've been taking telmisartan 40mg with hydrochlorothiazide 12.5mg every day. Even though my blood pressure is normal around 12879, the headaches won't go away, and they're really affecting my daily life. I'm also on propranolol 40mg and flunarizine 12.5mg for my cervical spine issues, but the pain is still so bad. Is there any alternative to telmisartan that won't cause these headaches, or maybe any tips on how to avoid these side effects? I'm 52 and really need some advice on how to manage this.

I'm having this pain in my left leg that's been bothering me for about 15 days now. I'm 84 and have a history of heart issues, so I'm regularly on medications like Ecospirin, Amlokind for my blood pressure, and some others like Nitrolong and Losar, though I've recently stopped taking Renozex. The pain hits me when I walk. Can you help me figure out what's going on?

I'm really concerned about this numbness in my left hand and the anxiety I'm feeling. I went to see my doctor, who suggested I visit a cardiologist. After doing a 2D echo, the cardiologist mentioned something about a dilated LV, and it's got me really stressed out. What does dilated LV mean? Should I be worried about it?

it is concerning to hear about your symptoms and the findings on your 2D echo report showing dilated left ventricle (LV). In this case, the cardiologist may prescribe medications to help with the condition. One common medication for dilated LV is Carvedilol, starting at a low dose of 3.125 mg twice daily and gradually increasing as tolerated. This medication can help improve heart function and reduce symptoms. Additionally, the cardiologist may recommend lifestyle changes such as reducing salt intake, regular exercise, and stress management techniques to support heart health. It is important to follow up with your cardiologist regularly to monitor your condition and adjust treatment as needed
