I'm 21 and I've noticed my pulse rate is higher than usual, but my ECG came out normal. Should I be worried about this, and what kind of treatment should I be looking at?

Your pulse rate is too high. At your age of 21 with a normal ECG, a high pulse rate could be due to various reasons such as anxiety, stress, dehydration, or certain medications. To lower your pulse rate, you can try relaxation techniques like deep breathing exercises, yoga, or meditation. It is also important to stay hydrated and avoid stimulants like caffeine. If the high pulse rate persists, you can take a beta-blocker medication like Metoprolol at a dose of 25-50mg once daily, but it is important to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any medication.

I'm experiencing breathlessness when I exert myself and my heart rate seems really high. The recent echo shows mild TR, mild PAHRVSP at 45 mmHg, and a mild MR jet area of 2.5 sqcm, with tachycardia at 121 bpm. My hemoglobin and thyroid levels are normal, but I'm a bit concerned about the mild PAH. Should I be worried about this and check in with a doctor?

Yes, mild pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) should be followed up by a doctor, especially since you are experiencing breathlessness on exertion and have a high heart rate. Treatment for PAH may include medications such as sildenafil (Revatio) or tadalafil (Adcirca) to help lower the blood pressure in the lungs. It is important to monitor and manage PAH to prevent further complications.

I'm really concerned about some persistent pain in my chest since an auto accident 40 days ago. The x-ray mentioned something about an altered cardio thoracic ratio, and honestly, that's got me a bit worried. I've been using volini and doing hot compresses, but nothing seems to help. Can you advise on what might be going on and what I should do next?

I've got this digital automatic blood pressure machine, and whenever I check my BP, it keeps showing around 13292, averaging about 13090. I'm really curious about how I can get it to go down to 11575. I'm thinking being overweight might be part of the issue. Can you give me some advice on how to get my blood pressure to a normal range?

It is better advised to check the blood presssure with the mercury appartus rather than digital bp machine for accurate bp measurement results..
