The ideal resting heart rate for adults is generally between 60-100 beats per minute (BPM). Since your BPM is consistently above 80, it may indicate that you have a higher resting heart rate. To help keep your heart rate in control, you can try incorporating regular exercise, maintaining a healthy weight, managing stress levels, and avoiding stimulants like caffeine and nicotine. If you continue to have concerns about your heart rate, you may consider consulting with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and guidance.

Question

I'm a bit worried since I tested positive for COVID on May 17th but didn't have any symptoms except for a dry throat. I'm feeling better now, but since May 27th, I've been experiencing a mild burning sensation in my chest and some pain in my left shoulder and hand every now and then. I've been taking doxycycline and dolo 650 twice a day for 6 days, and ivermectin 12mg for 4 days. I've also been using vitamin tablets and adding spices like pepper, cloves, and cinnamon to my food for 9 days. My oxygen levels are around 98-99 and my pulse is 80. Apart from that, I don't have any other health issues. I'm also using pan d tablets, but I'm still feeling the burning in my chest. Could you please help me understand what's going on?

Question

I'm 46 and worried about heart disease. What can I do to prevent it or even reverse it? My blood pressure is at 13588, HDL is 30, LDL is 80, and triglycerides are 150. I've had a CT Calcium score of 12, which isn't great for my age since it puts me in the 81 range. I'm on a BP med, 10mg statin, fish oil, garlic, Vitamin D, aspirin, CoQ10, and other stuff. There's no family history of heart disease, and I've been sticking to a low-fat diet for ages, so I was really surprised with the Calcium score. Any advice on what I could be doing differently?
