I'm really concerned about my pulse rate which is constantly between 120 to 130, and it sometimes shoots up to 150 or 170 when I'm feeling anxious. Lately, I've been feeling pretty worn out, and since I had a bad fever last month, it just seems like my pulse is higher than ever. It almost feels like I can hear it all the time, like listening through a stethoscope. Do you have any tips to help me bring down my pulse rate naturally, without having to go through treatments, scans, or using medication?

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.

u can shift on tab telmisartan H40mg+12.5 mg once daily with the repaet check of the BP after 1 week and also to maintain BP charting daily and to review after 7 days with the BP Charting in the opd.
