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've been dealing with a really high pulse rate and Im not sure why. Every time I check it with my digital sphygmomanometer, it reads between 95 to 110, and thats without any physical activity. My blood pressure usually hovers around 105 over 55. On top of that, Ive been experiencing severe abdominal pain and a constant feeling of nausea for the past few weeks. Could these symptoms be related, and what should I do about it?
Your pulse rate is slightly elevated (95-110 bpm), and your blood pressure is on the lower side (10555). Combined with your abdominal pain and nausea, this could indicate dehydration, stress, or an underlying medical condition like gastritis or an infection. I recommend seeing a doctor promptly for a detailed evaluation and necessary tests.

I'm really concerned about my mom because she's been taking Telmisartan 40 for over a year now. I've noticed she's been feeling fatigued and dizzy, and I'm worried these might be side effects from the medicine. Her blood pressure readings have been normal for a while, so I'm just wondering if it's safe for her to stop taking it?
abruptly discontinuing the medication can lead to rebound hypertension; if her blood pressure remains normal, her doctor may consider gradually tapering off the medication or switching to a different treatment, but it's essential to weigh the potential benefits of stopping the medication against the risks of uncontrolled hypertension.

My mom's having some trouble with hypertension. Her systolic measurement sometimes hits 123, and the diastolic is around 95 and even reaches 98 occasionally. I'm really concerned about why her blood pressure isn't considered normal or stable, especially when it sometimes goes up to 140 over 102. What could be causing these fluctuations?
Your mother might be showing early signs of developing systemic hypertension. Regular monitoring of her blood pressure will confirm the diagnosis, and she can be consequently started on a anti-hypertensive regimen of medication. Lifestyle modifications with dietary changes may be necessary for maintaining a healthy blood pressure. It is best to consult a physician who will monitor her progress over a long period of time.
