I'm 77 years old and I've noticed my pulse rate has jumped to 142. It was 139 just an hour ago. Is this something I should be worried about?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
This is not a normal pulse rate and requires immediate medical attention. A heart rate of 139-142 is significantly elevated for any age, but especially concerning for someone who is 77 years old. This condition, called tachycardia, can be dangerous and might indicate a serious underlying condition. Please seek emergency medical care right away - either call for an ambulance or have someone take you to the nearest emergency room. While waiting for medical help, try to stay calm, sit or lie down, and avoid any physical activity.

View allI've been having this pricking pain in my chest that isn't super intense, but it crops up when I'm on the treadmill or climbing stairs. I'm in my mid-20s and last week I saw a doctor about some chest discomfort. They thought it was acid reflux. What could be causing this? I also felt some pressure in my neck and shoulders that went away after a few minutes. Any ideas on what's going on? Should I be worried?

I'm really concerned about my dad's health. His recent report showed that his ejection fraction is at 38 when it's supposed to be around 50. He's having trouble with breathing too. Can you tell me how serious this is and what kind of treatments or precautions we should be considering?
