I'm a 24-year-old woman weighing 37kg and my resting heart rate is usually between 120-130bpm, sometimes going up to 134bpm. This has been happening for the past 5 years but I don't have any other health issues or discomfort because of it. Should I be worried about this high heart rate? Could it be dangerous or lead to problems later? I really don't want surgery can this be managed with medicines instead? Does homeopathy work for something like this?

A consistently high resting heart rate (over 100 bpm) like yours (120-130 bpm) should be investigated by a doctor. While it might not be immediately dangerous, it could indicate an underlying issue that needs attention, and can potentially lead to complications later. Medications are often used to manage high heart rate, and homeopathy is not a reliable or scientifically proven treatment for such conditions, according to the Mayo Clinic and the British Heart Foundation.

I'm really worried about my heart rate. I was prescribed Propranolol 20 MG for anxiety and palpitations by my cardiologist, but when I started feeling uncomfortable with light chest pain, I went to another cardiologist who told me to stop taking it. So I did, and I felt normal for a day, but then my heart rate jumped from 85 sitting to 145 standing the next day. I'm scared to go to the hospital because my heart rate might increase even more. If it's already at 140 just standing, I can't imagine how high it would go while working. Is this something very serious? Also, my blood pressure at night was 130 after eating and 127 before eating while I was on the medication, but it hardly ever went over 120 before all this. If just two days of using Propranolol caused these withdrawal effects, how am I supposed to handle this medication for the long term? I'm living in constant fear of dying. Can you help?
It sounds like you are experiencing significant anxiety and palpitations along with withdrawal effects from Propranolol. The sudden increase in heart rate upon standing is concerning and may indicate a condition called orthostatic intolerance. This needs to be evaluated further by a healthcare professional. To address your symptoms, you can try the following: - Discontinue Propranolol under medical supervision to avoid withdrawal effects - Practice relaxation techniques such as deep breathing or meditation to help with anxiety - Stay well-hydrated and maintain a healthy diet - Avoid sudden changes in posture to prevent orthostatic intolerance In the meantime, it is important to consult with a cardiologist or a healthcare provider for a proper evaluation and management plan. They may consider alternative medications or therapies to help with your symptoms. Remember, sudden changes in heart rate and chest discomfort should not be ignored. Take care.

I've been having this strange cold sensation near my left chest, around the heart area, and it sometimes moves to my arms and legs. Not too long ago, I had heartburn for over three weeks, and my doctor recommended Robo 20 tablets which helped with that. But now, even after an ECG which came back normal, I'm still feeling this odd coldness near my heart. Could you give me some insights or advice on what might be going on?
