I've noticed that my heart rate is always above 90, and I also deal with anxiety. When I start overthinking, my heart rate shoots up to 105. Is this something normal, or should I be concerned and seek treatment?

A heart rate above 90 at rest and reaching 105 with anxiety and overthinking may indicate that your heart rate is elevated. To help manage your symptoms, you can consider taking Propranolol (Inderal) 10mg to 40mg as needed to help lower your heart rate and reduce anxiety symptoms. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and personalized treatment plan.

I'm really worried about my dad. He's got an artery blockage and has already had an angiography done. I'm stuck trying to figure out whether we should go for angioplasty or bypass surgery. He mentioned something about stents being used in angioplasty. Could you guide me on what's the best option here? Ive attached the report with all the details.

My mom had angioplasty last month, and she's been feeling really nauseous and dizzy recently. Is this something that usually happens after that type of surgery? I'm a bit worried about whether it's part of the recovery or if we should be more concerned.

Question

I'm dealing with rheumatic heart disease and usually use Penicillin LA12, but it's currently unavailable. My doctor suggested I take Pendids 400 instead. Are there any concerns with switching to this medication at the age of 30, or is it safe to use in place of Penidura LA12?
