View allI'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 into sports and focus on my diet, but I've been wondering about something. Does eating high carbs actually increase VLDL cholesterol levels? And if so, what kind of carbs are more responsible for this hike? I've been sticking to complex carbs like brown rice, whole grains, and legumes. Just want to make sure I'm on the right track. Can you shed some light on this?
High carbohydrate intake, especially simple carbohydrates, can lead to an increase in VLDL cholesterol levels. Simple carbohydrates, such as those found in sugary foods and drinks, can raise VLDL levels more significantly compared to complex carbohydrates. Complex carbohydrates like brown rice, whole grains, and legumes are a better choice as they have a lower impact on VLDL cholesterol levels. To help lower VLDL cholesterol, you can continue consuming complex carbs like brown rice, whole grains, and legumes in your diet.

I'm really worried because my heart rate has been staying between 100 and 130 for the past three months. Just a few days ago, I started feeling pain in my chest and arm. What should I do?
Your symptoms of a persistently high heart rate along with chest and arm pain are concerning for a possible cardiac issue. It is important to seek immediate medical attention for further evaluation and treatment. In the meantime, you can take Aspirin 325mg immediately to help reduce the risk of blood clot formation.
