I'm a bit concerned because after I did some moderate exercise, like walking uphill and climbing steps, my heart rate hit about 151 BPM. Now, it's been two hours, and its still around 113 BPM. I used my pocket ECG device, Sanketlife 2.0, to check, and it says I have Sinus Tachycardia. Should I be worried about this? How long will it typically take for my heart rhythm to return to a normal sinus rhythm?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Sinus tachycardia after exercise is common, but it usually returns to a normal resting rate (typically 60-100 BPM) within a few minutes to an hour after stopping the activity. If your HR remains elevated for an extended period or if you experience other symptoms such as chest pain, dizziness, shortness of breath, or palpitations, it is important to seek medical evaluation promptly.

View allMy mom was diagnosed with chest pain on December 7, 2018. She's in the hospital, and the doctor did an angiography and is suggesting a bypass. I'm really worried and just want to know if the bypass is absolutely necessary and how long we can safely delay it. She's had blood pressure for about 10 years and diabetes for the last 4 years. Could you please advise?
"Hi Nirav, based on the information provided, if your mother has been diagnosed with chest pain and the doctor has recommended bypass surgery after performing Angiography, it is likely that the bypass surgery is necessary to improve blood flow to the heart. Given her history of high blood pressure and diabetes, it is important to follow the doctor's recommendation in a timely manner to prevent any further complications. I would recommend discussing any concerns or questions about the timing of the bypass surgery with the treating physician to determine the best course of action. In the meantime, it is important for your mother to continue taking her prescribed medications for blood pressure and diabetes as directed. For chest pain relief, she can take medications like Aspirin and Nitroglycerin as prescribed by the doctor. It is important to follow the doctor's advice regarding the dosage and frequency of these medications. Regular follow-up appointments with the doctor are also essential to monitor her condition and make any necessary adjustments to her treatment plan. If you have any further questions or concerns, feel free to ask. Take care."

I've been on high BP meds for about seven years. Initially, my BP was around 140100, and my doctor put me on olmetrack 20, but it didn't do much. After 2-3 years, they added nebicard 2.5 to the olmetrack, which helped, but my BP was still around 14095 or 13590 without any diet changes or exercise. Now, for the past month, I've started dieting and taking walks, and my BP has dropped to about 12075 to 11067. I'm wondering if this improvement is because of my lifestyle change. Do I still need both meds, or should I try stopping one to see how it affects my BP?
continue both the medications..

I'm feeling this fluttering sensation on the upper left side of my chest and it's like my breath stops for a moment. I've had an ECG and all that, and apparently, everything is normal. Do you think it could be acidity or something else?
it should be acidity
