I'm a 30-year-old with health anxiety and I've been tracking my heart rate. When I'm resting, it jumps between 50 and 65, but during sleep, it drops down to 48. However, whenever I stand up, my heart rate shoots up to over 100, sometimes even reaching 120. Is this normal? Should I be concerned about how much it fluctuates?

When standing, a heart rate above 100-120 beats per minute can be considered normal, especially if you are experiencing anxiety. However, it would be best to monitor your heart rate regularly and consult with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management of your health anxiety. For anxiety, you can try relaxation techniques and therapy. In case of severe anxiety, medications like Sertraline (50mg daily) or Escitalopram (10mg daily) can be prescribed by a doctor.

View allI'm dealing with this health issue and I'm wondering what steps I can take to overcome it. Is it a condition that can be cured? I'm curious if trimetazidine would be beneficial for me, and are there any good natural supplements or vitamins and minerals that are good for my heart? My blood pressure and heartbeat are normal, but I sometimes experience shortness of breath, back pain, and heart pain. Is it possible for my mitral valve to return to normal function with a healthier lifestyle?
Trimetazidine is a medication that can be used to help manage symptoms of angina by improving blood flow to the heart. However, it is important to consult with your doctor before starting any new medication. In addition to medication, you can also consider taking natural supplements such as Coenzyme Q10, Omega-3 fatty acids, and Magnesium to support heart health. It is also important to maintain a healthy lifestyle by eating a balanced diet, exercising regularly, managing stress, and avoiding smoking. These lifestyle changes can help improve the function of your mitral valve and overall heart health.

I've been prescribed Telma 20 for my blood pressure, and I'm wondering if that's the lowest dose available? Are there any other medications with a lower dosage than Telma 20? I'm also curious about how effective it is and if there are any side effects I should be aware of. Could you help me understand this better?
Telma 20 (Telmisartan) is a common blood pressure medication, and while there are lower doses available, Telma 20 is generally considered effective for managing high blood pressure. It works by relaxing blood vessels. Side effects may include dizziness, headaches, or gastrointestinal issues, though many people tolerate it well. Always consult your doctor for personalized advice.

I'm really worried about my dad. His heart's ejection fraction is only 20, and the doctor mentioned that means his heart's power is at 20. He's been on medication for the last three months, but I'm curious to know what kind of treatment might be next. Also, are there any specific precautions he should be taking right now? I'm just trying to figure out how to best support him through this.
Ejection fraction of the heart is very low , causes would be heart attack,cardiomyopathy,coronary artery disease, high blood pressure,aortic stenosis, mitral regurgitatin,myocarditis,arrhythmia etc , u can continue the same medications . An echocardiogram is advised and a cardiac opinion.
