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'm a bit concerned because my diastolic pressure keeps hitting around or sometimes over 100, while my systolic pressure is almost always under 130, only rarely going above that. Is this something I should be worried about? Does this mean I'm a BP patient now? Also, I'm really interested in knowing if there's a natural way to manage this without having to rely on tablets. What can I do?

I'm trying to understand my echo report and I'm a bit concerned. It says my cardiac size is normal with some terms like Lvdd being 5.4 cm, La at 3.8 cm, and mild lvh. Then it mentions good lv systolic function and an EF range of 55 to 60. Plus, normal right systolic function and no abnormal wall motion. Should I be worried about anything here? Just looking for some clarity on what all this means for my heart health.
Your echo report indicates that you have Cardiac Hypertrophy with normal left ventricular size (LVDD 5.4 cm) and mild left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH). Your left atrium is also within normal size (LA 3.8 cm). The report shows good left ventricular systolic function with an ejection fraction (EF) of 55-60%. Additionally, your right ventricular systolic function is normal with no abnormal wall motion. Based on the information provided, you may consider medications such as: - ACE Inhibitors like Lisinopril 10mg once daily to help reduce the workload on the heart and manage blood pressure. - Beta-blockers like Metoprolol 25mg twice daily to help lower blood pressure and reduce the heart's workload. - Diuretics like Furosemide 40mg once daily to help reduce fluid buildup in the body and manage symptoms of heart failure. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

My dad had an angioplasty last month, and they put in a stent, but he's been feeling dizzy about 10 days afterward. Any idea what could be causing this? I'm really worried and not sure what to do next.
