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?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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.

View allI'm a bit confused about the changes in my LVEF readings. Initially, my echo showed an LVEF of 55, but a month later, it increased to 70, just 30 minutes after undergoing a TMT. Is it normal to have such variations, and should I be concerned about this?
The increase in Lvef from 55 to 70 after 30 minutes of tmt could be due to the positive effects of the medication. To maintain and improve your heart function, you can continue taking medications like Carvedilol 6.25 mg twice daily and Lisinopril 10 mg once daily as prescribed by your healthcare provider. Regular follow-up with your doctor is important to monitor your heart function and adjust your treatment plan if needed.

I'm 23 and have noticed a persistent dull pain under the second-to-last rib on the left side of my chest, about 23 inches below my left nipple. It's been happening for around 12 days now, mainly during deep breaths or when I try to stretch by pushing my chest out. I've never felt this pain before, and I'm starting to get worried because we do have a family history of high blood pressure and heart attacksmy grandfather and father, specifically. I've also been smoking tobacco for the last three years. Do you think this is something serious I should be worried about?

For the past 4 to 5 days, Ive been dealing with an unusually fast heart rate, even when Im just resting. I havent been exercising for a few months now, and I can really feel my heart pounding throughout my body. It gets worse at night and when I checked, my heart rate was 103 bpm, and sometimes its 95 bpm, but it never goes below 90, even when Im just sitting. Im staying hydrated and I dont feel anxious, but Ive started having this chest pain that feels like when someone presses on a bone. What tests should I consider doing to find out whats going on? This fast heart rate is really becoming unbearable. Any advice?
Based on your symptoms of a fast heart rate at rest, palpitations, and chest pain, it is important to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation. The following tests may be recommended: 1. Electrocardiogram (ECG) to assess the electrical activity of the heart. 2. Holter monitor to continuously record your heart's activity for a period of time. 3. Echocardiogram to evaluate the structure and function of the heart. 4. Blood tests to check for any underlying conditions such as thyroid disorders or electrolyte imbalances. In the meantime, to help manage your symptoms, you can consider taking a beta-blocker medication such as Metoprolol at a starting dose of 25mg once daily, as prescribed by a healthcare professional. Beta-blockers can help lower heart rate and reduce chest pain.
