I just got a new Dr. Morepen pulse oximeter and while checking my heart rate and oxygen levels, it showed a message about a suspected occasional short pulse interval. Should I be concerned about this? I had a mild Covid infection last year and experienced some palpitations afterward, which have since improved over time. After recovering, I did a holter monitor test that was normal except for Sinus Arrhythmia, which my doctor said was normal. My Echo test in October also came back normal. I often check my pulse rate and oxygen because of occasional palpitations since the Covid infection. Do you think I need more tests because of this short pulse interval message?

I'm currently taking Teleact 40 in the morning and Cilny 10 along with Concor 5 at night. I've been feeling kind of light-headed in the mornings though. Do you think it would be better to switch things up and take the Telmisartan and Cilnidipine combo in the morning and the Concor 5 at night instead? I just want to make sure I'm managing my blood pressure in the best way possible.

Switching to Telmisartan (brand name: Telma) + Cilnidipine (brand name: Cilacar) combination in the morning can help in managing your blood pressure more effectively. You can continue taking Concor 5 at night for better control. The recommended dosage for Telmisartan + Cilnidipine combination would be as per your doctor's prescription.

I've been feeling really anxious ever since I lost my job last month. The anxiety seems to be affecting my heart rate too. It was usually under 90, but in the last 20 days, I've noticed it's been higher. I've recently managed to get my resting heart rate down to under 75 by starting brisk walking and taking an arjuna tablet once a day. However, I've been experiencing some chest pain on the left side during my walks, and my heart rate shoots up to 130. I just did an ECG test because of this. Can you take a look at my ECG report and let me know what might be going on and the best way to handle it?

start doing exercises, drink plenty of water
