I'm a bit concerned about my resting heart rate, which is usually around 115. Is that normal? Could this have any negative implications on my health? I try to stay active with moderate exercise and spend time outdoors 5 to 6 days a week, and I don't have any known health issues. Should I be taking any specific precautions?

A resting heart rate of 115 beats per minute is higher than the normal range, which is typically between 60-100 beats per minute for adults. This condition is known as tachycardia and can have negative effects on your health if left untreated. It may be caused by factors such as stress, dehydration, caffeine intake, or certain medications. To lower your resting heart rate and reduce the risk of complications, you can try the following precautions: - Stay hydrated and avoid excessive caffeine intake - Practice stress-reducing techniques such as deep breathing or meditation - Ensure you are getting enough quality sleep - Consider incorporating relaxation exercises into your routine If your resting heart rate remains consistently high, despite these precautions, I recommend consulting with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management. In some cases, medication such as beta-blockers may be prescribed to help lower the heart rate.

I'm really worried about some symptoms I've been experiencing. Whenever I get tired, I start having short breaths and feel this chest pain. I can walk for a bit if I go slowly, but after a few minutes, I start running out of breath and the chest pain comes back. Does this sound like something serious? What should I do about it?

I've been feeling really anxious about my heart lately because I keep having these palpitations and negative thoughts that something might be wrong. I'm 23 and my GP said my echo, ECG, and blood tests came back normal, so they think it's just anxiety and overthinking. But I'm still really worried. Is it possible there could still be an underlying heart issue, or should I trust the tests?
Yes, for a 23-year-old male, a normal echo, ECG, and blood test are usually sufficient to rule out major heart problems. Since your GP has already reassured you that your palpitations are likely due to anxiety and overthinking, you can trust their assessment. To help with your anxiety symptoms, you can take **Xanax (Alprazolam)** 0.25mg as needed. It is important to practice stress-reducing activities such as exercise, meditation, and deep breathing techniques.
