I've noticed that my heart rate is usually pretty high, hovering around 90 to 100 beats per minute. Is this something I should be concerned about? What steps can I take to address this, and what kind of treatment would be recommended?

A heart rate of 90 to 100 beats per minute can be considered high, especially at rest. This condition is known as tachycardia. To lower your heart rate, you can try lifestyle changes such as reducing stress, avoiding stimulants like caffeine, and staying hydrated. However, if these measures do not work, medication may be necessary. You can take Metoprolol at a dosage of 25-50mg once daily to help lower your heart rate. This medication is a beta-blocker that can effectively reduce heart rate and blood pressure. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any medication to ensure it is safe and appropriate for you.

I've been keeping an eye on my blood pressure and it was pretty high last year, like 140 over 90, which led to an echo test. They found lvh at 13mm, and lately, my blood pressure has been settling around 128130 over 85. I'm not on any medication right now. Should I be considering starting on blood pressure meds given these details?
Based on your current blood pressure readings and the presence of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) on your echo report, it is advisable to start blood pressure medication to help maintain your blood pressure within a healthy range and reduce the strain on your heart. I recommend starting with a medication like Losartan (50mg once daily) to help lower your blood pressure and protect your heart from further damage. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and follow up with your healthcare provider for further guidance.

I've been feeling breathless quite often and my gastroenterologist advised me to cut out salty, spicy, and oily foods from my diet and to take a PAN L tablet in the morning. It's been 10 days since I started this diet, but I'm still having the same symptoms. I'm worried if this might be a heart issue, though my echo and ECG came out fine three months ago. Could it be something to do with my lungs? I'm really anxious because sometimes I feel a heaviness on the left side of my chest, and at times my heart rate suddenly increases. My vitamin B12 levels are normal. I'm not sure if I should stick with this diet or consult someone else. Can you guide me on what to do?
plan you diet with dietician and drink warm water and stop junk
