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 had a little bike skid yesterday and it really scared me. I felt a bit of anxiety and had a little heart pain, but luckily no injuries. I went to see the doctor and they did an ECG to check for any problems. Is there anything else I should be worried about or any other steps I should take to make sure everything is okay?
It is good that you got your ECG checked by a doctor to rule out any problems. For anxiety and heart pain, you can take a medication like Xanax (Alprazolam) 0.25mg as needed for anxiety relief. For heart pain, you can take Aspirin 81mg once daily to help with any inflammation or discomfort. Remember to follow up with your doctor if you have any persistent symptoms or concerns.

I'm really worried because I've been having this pain on the left side of my chest for a few months now. I'm asthmatic but I'm not having any trouble breathing or coughing. I saw a heart doctor and he did an echo, which came back normal, and the chest X-ray was normal too. The pain is kind of between my lower ribs up to the upper side of my chest, and sometimes it goes to my back. I'm really scared about what it could be. Can you help me figure out what's going on?
An orthopedic opinion is advised to the patient.Tab ibuprofen 400mg is advised orally twice daily for 7 days ,tab pan 40 mg once daily for 7 days and volinigel sos for pain.

I had my ECG done today, and the report showed some abnormalities. My doctor mentioned that everything was normal, but I'm confused. What should I do now?
If your doctor has reviewed your ECG report and assured you that it is normal despite showing abnormalities, it is important to trust their expertise. ECG results can sometimes show variations that are within normal limits for certain individuals. However, if you have any concerns or symptoms that persist, it is always a good idea to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and clarification.
