Accepted Answer

See a specialist for accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment.

Question 2

I'm noticing that my blood pressure readings are different in each arm. The left side shows 90160, while the right is 80125. Could you tell me which one is correct? Also, my lipid and sugar levels are normal, and I feel okay when I walk around, but I still feel anxious. What should I do?

Accepted Answer

It is recommended to consider the blood pressure reading from the right hand (80125) as it is lower and more accurate. To manage anxiety, you can take a medication such as lorazepam (Ativan) 0.5mg as needed. Make sure to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

Question 3

I'm a bit worried because my heart rate is around 113 BPM even when I'm just resting, but my ECG came back normal. I have to admit, I'm pretty lazy and don't get much exercise, and my breathing gets heavier when I try to run. Could my lifestyle be causing this high heart rate, or should I be concerned about something else?

Accepted Answer

A heart rate of 113 BPM at rest can be caused by various factors, including physical inactivity and a sedentary lifestyle. Since you mentioned that your ECG is normal, it is less likely to be due to a heart condition. The increase in respiratory rate on running suggests that your body is not efficiently adapting to physical exertion. To address this issue, I recommend starting with lifestyle modifications such as regular exercise and physical activity. Additionally, you can consider taking medication like Metoprolol to help lower your heart rate and improve cardiovascular health. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any medication regimen.
