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 experiencing arm pain that started in my left arm, but now it's also in my right arm. I've got this weird center chest pain too. I did an ECG, echo, and some blood tests, including a thyroid test about four days ago, and everything came back normal. The doctor mentioned it might be anxiety because my heart rate was really highlike 130 bpm during the ECG and my blood pressure was 15080. I've had this fear of heart issues for months, and now the symptoms seem to have gotten worse. They gave me Betanol TR 40 to try and help. Sometimes the arm pain gets really bad, but then it goes away and comes back. It feels like pins and needles, maybe like cramps. What could this be?
It sounds like you are experiencing symptoms of anxiety and cardiophobia, which can manifest as arm pain and chest discomfort. The medication prescribed to you, Betanol TR 40, is a brand name for Propranolol. This medication can help with managing symptoms of anxiety and can also help with reducing heart rate and blood pressure. The usual dosage for Propranolol in anxiety is 20-40mg taken 2-3 times a day. It is important to follow your doctor's instructions regarding the dosage and frequency of taking the medication. If you experience worsening symptoms or have any concerns, it is important to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.

My brother is 18 and we've discovered that he has high blood pressure readings around 14070 or sometimes 15070. We've done a bunch of tests like ECG, EKG, ultrasound, renal Doppler, TSH, echo, and urine metanephrine serum tests, and they all came back normal. The doctor mentioned something about essential hypertension and started him on amlong 2.5mg. But since that didn't help, his dose was bumped up to 5mg. I just got a BP monitor, and his readings were 13078 in the morning and 14770 in the evening. I'm seriously concerned because he's so young and is managing to exercise regularly with a healthy BMI. What could be causing this, and how can we help lower his BP?
It's good that your brother has been proactive in monitoring his blood pressure and leading a healthy lifestyle. Despite these measures, essential hypertension can sometimes be challenging to control. Since the morning blood pressure reading is within a normal range, it's important to continue monitoring at different times of the day. In cases where blood pressure remains elevated, the dosage of the medication may need to be adjusted further. I recommend discussing with the doctor about potentially increasing the dose of Amlong to 7.5mg or exploring other medication options such as Telma (Telmisartan) 40mg. Additionally, lifestyle modifications such as reducing salt intake, maintaining a healthy diet, regular exercise, and stress management techniques can also help in managing blood pressure levels. Regular follow-ups with the doctor for monitoring and adjustments are essential in managing hypertension effectively."
