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.

View allI'm really worried about my father. He had coronary thrombosis last January and seemed to recover well, but this morning he's having severe chest pain. The doctor recommended Isordil 5 for intense pain, but it hasn't helped at all. Can you offer some advice on what we should do next?

I've been dealing with tinnitus and anxiety for about six months now, and this morning when I blew my nose, I noticed these random blood stains in my mucus, and it was really frothy. I've also been feeling this weird gurgling sensation in my chest, and occasionally, there's a sharp pain in my left shoulder, but it doesn't last more than a second. My blood pressure was 104 over 70 this morning. I don't have diabetes, but my cholesterol levels are off; it's at 228, with HDL at 49 and LDL at 150, and my triglycerides are at 142. I'm getting worried... is this something serious, or is my heart okay?
It is important to address these symptoms promptly. The presence of blood in your mucus, along with chest discomfort and shoulder pain, could indicate potential issues with your heart or respiratory system. Given your cholesterol levels, there may be an increased risk of cardiovascular problems. I recommend seeking immediate medical attention. In the meantime, you can take Aspirin 81mg for potential heart-related symptoms. Please consult a healthcare professional for a thorough evaluation and appropriate management.

So, I've been having this chest pain for a few months now, and I went through all the basic heart checks. My ECG was normal, but it showed Sinus tachycardia, and the TMT came back negative. The first time I did a 2D Echo, they mentioned Mild Concentric LVH, but when I repeated it a few days later, they didnt find any LVH. I even went for another 2D Echo at a different place, and again, they said there was no LVH. Is it common for results to differ like this? Could my chest pain still be related to my heart, and have I done enough tests to rule out any cardiac issues? Also, just to add, I dont smoke or drink.
It is possible for there to be discrepancies in medical imaging findings, especially when it comes to conditions like mild concentric LVH. However, since your ECG and TMT results are normal and there is no longer evidence of mild concentric LVH on your recent 2D Echo, it is less likely that your chest pain is cardiac in nature. It is important to consider other potential causes for your chest pain, such as musculoskeletal issues, gastrointestinal problems, or even anxiety. To further evaluate your chest pain and rule out any other cardiac issues, you may consider discussing with your healthcare provider about other tests such as a stress echocardiogram, coronary CT angiography, or cardiac MRI. Additionally, lifestyle modifications, stress management techniques, and regular follow-ups with your doctor are important for your overall health and well-being.
