I've noticed that my heart rate is usually somewhere between 68 to 83 bpm during the day. But for the past week, it's been up between 90 and 118 bpm, and it doesn't drop below 85 even when I'm sitting for a while. When I'm asleep, it goes from 50 to 75 bpm. I started going to the gym for cardio and strength training about a month ago, hitting it 5 days a week. Nothing's really changed with my diet or work hours. Had my ECG, ECO, and BP checked and everything seemed normal. What could be causing this increase in my heart rate? Should I be worried about it?

Based on the information provided, the increase in your heart rate could be due to the increased physical activity from your gym routine. It is common for heart rate to be elevated during and after exercise, especially if you have recently started a new workout regimen that includes both cardio and strength training. To help regulate your heart rate, you can consider taking a beta-blocker medication such as Metoprolol. I recommend starting with a low dose of Metoprolol 25mg once daily, and you can adjust the dosage as needed based on your heart rate response. It is important to monitor your heart rate regularly and consult with your healthcare provider for further guidance on medication management. In addition to medication, make sure to stay hydrated, get an adequate amount of rest, and listen to your body during workouts. If you experience any concerning symptoms such as chest pain, dizziness, or shortness of breath, seek medical attention immediately.

I've been taking Ciplar LA 20 for the past 40 days as prescribed by my doctor who recommended continuing it for another 30 days. Today, after washing my car, I felt really tired and had a light headache that went away after resting. Then, when I drove about 15 km to a ceremony, I felt restless and had another light headache. While driving, I experienced a brief moment of dizziness. Could this be due to acidity, or are these side effects of Ciplar? What do you suggest I do?
The symptoms you are experiencing such as tiredness, light headache, restlessness, and dizziness could be potential side effects of Ciplar LA 20 (Propranolol). These side effects are commonly reported with this medication. It is important to monitor these symptoms and discuss them with your doctor. If you are experiencing discomfort, it is advisable to consult your doctor for further evaluation. They may adjust the dosage or recommend an alternative treatment based on your individual health condition.

I'm really worried about my blood pressure because even though I'm taking telma 40, austin cv, and dilgem 90 at night, my bp still isn't under controlit's currently 13797 with a pulse rate of 108. I also discovered I have a 2-80 block in my angiography, though my ECG seems normal. What should I do, and should I be concerned about anything else?
Your current blood pressure reading of 13797 is still elevated, especially with a pulse rate of 108. Since you have significant blockage in one of your coronary arteries, it is important to manage your blood pressure effectively. I recommend adding a calcium channel blocker to your current medication regimen. You can ask your doctor about adding a medication like Amlodipine (brand name Norvasc) 5mg once daily to help lower your blood pressure. Additionally, lifestyle modifications such as reducing salt intake, regular exercise, and stress management can also help in controlling your blood pressure.
