I walked 2 kilometers in 30 minutes, and my average heart rate was 130 bpm; is that a good level, or is it on the high side? At times, my heart rate even reached 160 bpm. Should I be concerned about this?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Walking for 2 kilometers in 30 minutes is a good exercise. An average heart rate of 130bpm during this activity is within the moderate intensity range for most adults. However, reaching a maximum heart rate of 160bpm indicates that you were pushing yourself towards the higher end of your cardiovascular capacity. It is important to listen to your body and not exceed your maximum heart rate too frequently to avoid overexertion. If you are healthy and have no underlying heart conditions, you can continue with this level of exercise. Remember to stay hydrated and consider incorporating some cool down exercises after your walk to help your heart rate return to normal.

View allI've been diagnosed with sinus arrhythmia; I didn't use to feel any skipping of heartbeats, but over the past few months, I've started experiencing it. Should I be worried that it's happening more often now, and is there something specific I should do or look out for?
Sinus arrhythmia is a condition where the heart's rhythm is irregular, usually due to changes in breathing. If you are experiencing palpitations or skipping heartbeats, it is important to consult your doctor for further evaluation. In some cases, medications like Metoprolol (25-50mg) can be prescribed to help regulate the heart rate and reduce symptoms.

I'm dealing with depression and recently had some heart tests done - my TMT came back negative, and both my ECG and echo were normal. However, my doctor prescribed me macsart 40 for blood pressure. I'm confused and a bit worried. Why would they prescribe BP medicine if my tests are normal? Any advice would be appreciated.
