Can I still have a heart rate of 125 and it be normal? I just recovered from being ill for two months and I'm feeling really weak. Should I be concerned about this or is it just part of my recovery?

A heart rate of 125 beats per minute can be considered high, especially at rest. It is important to monitor your heart rate and if it persists at this level, you should consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation. In the meantime, you can consider taking Metoprolol at a dosage of 25-100mg to help lower your heart rate. Additionally, make sure to rest, stay hydrated, and gradually increase your activity level as you continue to recover from your illness.

  1. Heart Rate Concern
    A heart rate of 125 bpm is higher than the normal range (60-100 bpm). This can occur during recovery but should be monitored.

  2. Possible Causes
    a. Dehydration
    b. Anemia
    c. Infection
    d. Heart-related issues

  3. Recommendations
    a. Monitor Symptoms: Watch for chest pain, dizziness, or palpitations.
    b. Hydration and Rest: Ensure adequate fluid intake and avoid overexertion.
    c. Medical Evaluation: Consult a healthcare professional for a thorough check-up, including possible blood tests and heart monitoring.

  4. Conclusion
    While some increase in heart rate can be normal during recovery, persistent elevation with weakness requires medical attention.

I'm having this tender chest pain right in the middle of my chest, and it's getting me worried. I did an ECG, and everything seemed fine. My TMT test was negative too, which was a relief at first. But now, I'm sometimes feeling short of breath and there's a pain in my left hand. I even had a CT Coronary Angiography last year that showed normal results. What could be going on? Could you help me figure this out?

I'm really worried because I've been feeling breathless for the past two days and I've noticed swelling in my right leg and hand. I've been taking Dytor 40mg every day, but it doesn't seem to be helping. Could this be something serious? What should I do next?

It sounds like you might be experiencing fluid retention, which could be related to heart or kidney function. Since you're on Dytor without improvement, it's important to follow up with a doctor urgently for a thorough evaluation, including heart and kidney function tests, to determine the cause of your symptoms.

I'm experiencing some pain in my chest on the right side of my body, especially when I take a deep breath. It's hard to pinpoint the exact spot, but it feels like it's near the upper part of my back. The pain gets intense with certain movements and when I breathe deeply. This happened about a year ago too, and the doctor did an ECG, but everything checked out fine back then. I don't have any other symptoms, and everything else seems normal. Could it be from bad posture while sleeping or sitting, or maybe it's a severe acidity problem? What do you think is causing this?

Patient is advised pulmonary function test(PFT).
