Question

Is Cardivas 3.25 actually less powerful than Nebicard 5? I've got hypertension and was having some sexual side effects, so my doctor switched me from Cardivas 3.25 to Nebicard 5. My blood pressure wasn't under control on Cardivas, but it's been stable with Nebicard 5, and I haven't noticed any side effects. Currently, my blood pressure reads 12581 on the Omron 7120 machine. Does that reading seem okay, or is there something I should be worried about? Could you give me some advice on this?

Question

I'm a bit concerned about the variation in my heart rates. My sleeping heart rate is around 55 bpm, while my resting heart rate falls between 80-100 bpm. When I wake up, it usually ranges from 100-120 bpm, and during brisk walking, it goes up to between 130-160 bpm. I'm 26 years old, have a healthy BMI at 22.5, my cholesterol levels are where they should be, and my blood pressure and echocardiogram results are normal. Is it normal for my heart rate to vary this much?

Question

I'm sitting on a chair, and my heart rate is around 94-95. When I take a moderate walk, it jumps to 130, but I don't feel any discomfort. This has been happening for about 20 days now. In the past, my resting heart rate used to be between 75-80. Should I be worried about this?
