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've been really concerned about my atrial fibrillation lately and was wondering if there's any actual cure for it. Also, do you think practices like yoga or acupuncture could be effective in managing it? I'm curious about whether there are any food or lifestyle changes that might help too.
Atrial fibrillation can be managed with medications and other interventions, but it may not have a definitive cure. Medications such as Flecainide or Dronedarone can help control heart rhythm. Additionally, lifestyle changes such as reducing alcohol and caffeine intake, managing stress, and maintaining a healthy diet can also help. While yoga and acupuncture may help with overall well-being and stress management, they may not directly cure atrial fibrillation. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider for a personalized treatment plan.

My brother has diabetes and had a heart check-up in January. His TMT echo and ECG came back negative, and his LVEF is 67. He's been experiencing mild shortness of breath for the past couple of months. Could this be related to any heart issues?
Shortness of breath can have various causes, including heart problems. Given his history of diabetes and recent heart check-up with normal results, the shortness of breath may not be directly related to his heart. It could be due to other factors such as respiratory issues, anemia, or even anxiety. However, considering his medical history, it's important to monitor his condition closely. I would recommend consulting with a doctor to rule out any potential cardiac issues. In the meantime, he can take a low dose of diuretic like Lasix (furosemide) under medical supervision to help with the shortness of breath.
