My dad was in the hospital, had an angiography, and they put a stent in his heart. Ever since, his heart rate's been all over the place, and he's been vomiting blood after eating or drinking. What's going on? Is this normal after a procedure like this, or should we be really concerned?

View allI was recently diagnosed with sinus tachycardia before my laparoscopic surgery and I'm a bit concerned should I be worried about this? The doctors mentioned it during my pre-op tests but didn't go into much detail. Is this something serious or just a temporary thing?

I'm a bit worried about my resting pulse rate, which is around 55 to 60, but when I work out it goes up to 75 to 80. My ECG and lipid profile are normal, and I take Telpres CT for my blood pressure, which is also normal. I'm curious if this medication could be what's making my pulse lower. Should I be concerned about my resting pulse rate, or is this within a normal range?
Your resting pulse rate of 55 to 60 beats per minute is within the normal range for adults, especially if you are physically active. When you workout, it is normal for your pulse rate to increase to 75 to 80 beats per minute. Telpres CT is a combination medication that contains Telmisartan and Chlorthalidone, which is commonly used to treat high blood pressure. Telpres CT, specifically the Chlorthalidone component, can sometimes cause a slight decrease in heart rate as a side effect. However, in your case, with a resting pulse rate of 55 to 60, it is more likely that your lower pulse rate is due to your good physical fitness rather than the medication. As your ECG and lipid profile reports are normal, and you are maintaining a normal blood pressure with Telpres CT, there is no need to be concerned about your pulse rate. It is important to continue monitoring your blood pressure regularly and follow up with your healthcare provider for any concerns.

I'm worried about my pulse oximeter readings. It's been showing my pulse rate between 112 and 120, and my oxygen saturation levels are at 92 to 94. I've noticed my heart beats really fast occasionally over the past month. Considering my age and other health issues, do you think this is something I need to be concerned about?
A pulse rate between 112 and 120 with oxygen saturation of 92-94, especially if you're experiencing a fast heartbeat intermittently, can be concerning, particularly with your existing health conditions. It would be wise to consult your doctor to rule out any underlying issues, as it might indicate a need for further evaluation.
