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 sometimes feel like there's an extra heartbeat in my chest, especially when I bend down. Could this be related to my mild tricuspid regurgitation? I'm really worried about it.
Yes, palpitations can be related to mild tricuspid regurgitation (TR). To help manage your symptoms, you can take a beta-blocker medication such as Metoprolol at a dosage of 25-50mg once daily. This can help regulate your heart rate and reduce the sensation of extra heartbeats. Remember to consult your doctor for proper evaluation and management.

I'm on Crestor 40mg and Ezetrol 10mg for my cholesterol, and here's what my latest results show: Total Cholesterol is 4.25, LDL is 2.5, HDL is 0.93, and Triglyceride is 1.82, all in mmol unit. Lately, I've been feeling really fatigued and I suspect it might be muscle pain or tiredness from the statins. I've lost some focus too. I'm thinking of reducing my statin dosage. Could you give me some advice on what to do about this?
Based on your symptoms of fatigue, muscle pain, tiredness, and difficulty focusing, it is important to discuss with your healthcare provider about potentially reducing your statin medication. It is possible that these symptoms could be related to the statins you are taking. One option to consider is switching to a different statin medication such as Atorvastatin 20mg once daily. Atorvastatin is another type of statin that may have a different side effect profile for you. However, it is crucial to consult with your doctor before making any changes to your medication regimen.
