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

View allI'm worried about Ciplar LA 20 and its effects on blood cholesterol levels. If someone were to take Ciplar LA 20 for a long time, could it raise their cholesterol?
Ciplar LA 20 (Propranolol) is a beta-blocker medication commonly used to treat high blood pressure, angina, and certain heart rhythm disorders. It is not known to increase blood cholesterol levels in the body. However, it is important to monitor cholesterol levels regularly, as beta-blockers can sometimes affect lipid metabolism. If someone needs to take Ciplar LA 20 for a long period of time, it is important to follow up with their healthcare provider for regular check-ups and monitoring. The dosage and duration of treatment should be determined by a healthcare professional based on individual needs and response to the medication.

So, I just got my Echo report and it says EF is 65 and there's something about Mild concentric LVH. Can you explain what this means and if it's something I should be worried about? Is it a serious heart problem?
In that Echo report, an ejection fraction (EF) of 65% indicates normal heart function. Mild concentric left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) means that the walls of the heart's main pumping chamber are slightly thickened. This condition can be managed with lifestyle changes and medications. You can take Losartan 50mg once daily to help with blood pressure control and to reduce the workload on the heart. Regular exercise and a low-sodium diet can also be beneficial.

I'm really worried about my husband. He's been waking up in the middle of the night sweating and struggling to breathe, and this has happened twice in just three days. We checked his blood pressure both times he woke up, and it was 148110 with a pulse of 75 the first time, and 140100 with a pulse of 85 the second time. He usually takes TeldayH every day for his high blood pressure, which generally keeps it under control. His blood sugar levels were also normal when we checked them yesterday, and his ECG was fine in January. He did have a gout attack around the same time, and his uric acid levels were 8.7 then, and he's also dealing with high cholesterol. Right now, he's on Febuxostat and Jupiros. I'm just trying to figure out why he's having these night sweats and breathing problems. Could it be related to his medication or something else?
Ecg and cardiac markers are advised to the patient. Rest contine all the medications.Also tablet levocetrizine 10 mg at bedtime,orally for 5 days is advised . Steam inhalation and saline gargles is also advised to the patient.
