Question

I'm a bit concerned about the variation in my heart rates. My sleeping heart rate is around 55 bpm, while my resting heart rate falls between 80-100 bpm. When I wake up, it usually ranges from 100-120 bpm, and during brisk walking, it goes up to between 130-160 bpm. I'm 26 years old, have a healthy BMI at 22.5, my cholesterol levels are where they should be, and my blood pressure and echocardiogram results are normal. Is it normal for my heart rate to vary this much?

Having variations in heart rate throughout the day is normal, especially in response to different activities and stress levels. However, if you are concerned about the wide range of heart rates you are experiencing, you may consider taking a beta-blocker like Metoprolol (25-50mg) to help regulate your heart rate and reduce fluctuations. It is important to consult with your doctor before starting any medication.

Question

I'm really worried about my dad. He doesn't have any symptoms of a heart attack, but his cholesterol and triglyceride levels are pretty high. His total cholesterol is at 251 mgdl, triglycerides at 625 mgdl, HDL is 46 mgdl and LDL is 110 mgdl. Do you think lifestyle changes could help bring these numbers down, or should we be considering surgery like some people have suggested? I'm really unsure about what direction we should take.

Question

My grandfather, who's around 75, has been experiencing some discomfort in the upper left side of his chest just above his heart. He thinks it's probably related to acidity. The pain started just a few hours ago, and he's not on any regular medication. Should we be worried about this being something more serious? What would you recommend we do next?

Question

I've been really worried lately because my family and I just recovered from covid, but I've been having these weird symptoms. My chest hurts a bit, not too bad, but enough to notice, and my fingers and toes feel cold. I'm 18 and female, and the doctor mentioned it might be anxiety. But I can't help worrying that it could be something serious like a heart attack. How can I stop being so anxious about this?
