I'm 32 and recently had an ECG done for ICL eye surgery my heart rate was around 120-127. I don't have any health issues, heart pain, or abnormalities, and my full-body checks since 27 always show a heart rate in the 120 range. Is this a serious problem, and can I still go ahead with the ICL surgery? I've attached my report for reference.

You have a consistently high heart rate around 120 range for the past 5 years without any health issues or abnormalities. This may be normal for you, especially if you are physically active or have a naturally high heart rate. However, it is important to further evaluate the cause of your elevated heart rate to ensure it is not due to any underlying medical condition. Considering you are planning to proceed with ICL eye surgery, it would be advisable to consult with a cardiologist to assess your heart health and determine if any further investigations or treatment are necessary before undergoing the surgery. The cardiologist may recommend medications such as Metoprolol to help lower your heart rate if needed. It is important to address any potential cardiac issues before proceeding with surgery to ensure your safety and well-being

I'm really worried about my husband. His total cholesterol is at 290 and his hemoglobin is around 17.3. Could you tell me if it's okay for him to take cholesterol-lowering meds along with ecoaspirin? Also, what can we do to lower his overall cholesterol since his HDL is only 32?

For high total cholesterol, it is advisable to start cholesterol-lowering medication. I recommend starting him on a statin medication such as Lipitor (Atorvastatin) at a dose of 20mg daily. In addition, he can take Ecospirin (Aspirin) for its antiplatelet effects. However, please consult with a doctor before starting any new medication. To help reduce his total cholesterol, it is important to also focus on lifestyle changes. Encourage him to follow a healthy diet low in saturated fats and cholesterol, engage in regular physical activity, and maintain a healthy weight. Increasing his intake of foods high in omega-3 fatty acids like fish, nuts, and seeds can also help improve his HDL levels.

I'm dealing with some chest pain and recently found out my blood pressure's been high at 14090 for the past two weeks, plus I've got high cholesterol. My doctor prescribed Rosuvas 10mg for the cholesterol but didn't give me anything for the blood pressure. Is it okay if I take EMBETA XR 50 along with Rosuvas just for a few days to manage the BP?

It is not advisable to take EMBETA XR 50 (Metoprolol) without consulting your doctor, especially since you have high blood pressure. Metoprolol is a beta-blocker that helps lower blood pressure and heart rate. It is important to have your blood pressure monitored regularly while taking this medication. If your doctor did not prescribe a blood pressure medication initially, it is best to follow up with them to discuss the need for adding EMBETA XR 50 to your current treatment plan.

I'm having this chest pain that comes and goes every day. It really bothers me, but weirdly, it seems to ease up when I take deep breaths. I've been dealing with it for about two years now, and I've also been diagnosed with anxiety. Plus, I have issues with acidity and a bit of heartburn. Could my chest pain just be from anxiety, or is there something else going on?

it's because of gastritis,take tablet Omeprazole for 5 days
