I've noticed my resting heart rate has been a bit higher than usual, usually between 90 and 110. Sometimes it goes over 100, although not too often. I'm wondering if this is normal or if I should be concerned? I had an ECHO last month, and it was normal. At what point should I think about this as potentially dangerous arrhythmia?

An arrhythmia can be dangerous if it leads to symptoms such as chest pain, fainting, dizziness, or shortness of breath. The frequency of arrhythmia that could be considered dangerous varies depending on the type and underlying cause. In your case, with a resting heart rate consistently between 90-110 and occasionally above 100, it is advisable to monitor it closely. Since your ECHO was normal last month, it is reassuring that there are no structural abnormalities with your heart. However, given the increased resting heart rate, it would be prudent to consult a healthcare provider for further evaluation. In the meantime, you can consider taking a beta-blocker medication like Metoprolol at a low dose of 25mg once daily to help control your heart rate.

View allI just got my results from a full body check-up, and it turns out my high sensitivity C-reactive protein (HSCRP) level is at 20 mgL. Is this something I should be worried about? Do I need to be on any medication? Would love your thoughts on this.
based on your high sensitivity C-reactive protein (HS-CRP) level of >20 mgL, it indicates inflammation in your body. To lower your HS-CRP level and reduce inflammation, you can consider taking Atorvastatin 20mg once daily. Additionally, incorporating lifestyle changes such as regular exercise, healthy diet, and stress management can also help in reducing inflammation. Remember to follow up with your healthcare provider for monitoring your HS-CRP levels.

I'm feeling this strange pulsating sensation in my left ribs that goes down my armpit, and I'm having some chest pain as well. It's pretty unsettling, and on top of that, my left hand and leg keep sweating. This mostly happens at night, and I notice my heart is beating faster during these episodes. Any ideas on what might be causing this?

I'm experiencing some worrying symptoms like left side chest pain and vomiting. I'm not feeling hungry and sometimes my heart starts beating really fast all of a sudden. It's even affecting my sleep. I've already had an echo and TMT done, and they didn't show anything wrong, but I'm still concerned. Could this be something serious? What should I do next?
Ecg and cardiac markers are advised to the patient.
