I'm a bit worried about my 66-year-old mom. She's diabetic and has a resting heart rate of 80 BPM with an SPO2 level around 9798. But yesterday, after climbing two floors, her heart rate jumped to 122 BPM and her SPO2 hit 99. Is this something I should be concerned about?

View allI'm concerned about my blood pressure spiking in the evenings. It goes up to 16090, but stays under 12580 throughout the day until around 5pm. I'm 36, weigh 78kgs, and my height is 5 feet 4.5 inches. Is there something specific causing this? Any advice on what I should do?
To help manage your blood pressure spikes in the evening, you can consider taking a medication like Amlodipine (brand name Norvasc) 5mg daily in the evening. Additionally, lifestyle modifications such as reducing salt intake, regular exercise, maintaining a healthy weight, and managing stress can also be beneficial in controlling your blood pressure. Remember to consult with your doctor before starting any new medication.

I'm trying to understand what it means if a TMT result comes back positive. Does this indicate there's an issue with my heart? Should I be worried about any specific heart conditions?
If TMT is positive, it indicates that there may be a problem related to the heart. TMT stands for Treadmill Test, which is a common test used to assess how well your heart responds to stress. A positive TMT result can suggest the presence of coronary artery disease or other heart-related issues. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I walked 2 kilometers in 30 minutes, and my average heart rate was 130 bpm; is that a good level, or is it on the high side? At times, my heart rate even reached 160 bpm. Should I be concerned about this?
Walking for 2 kilometers in 30 minutes is a good exercise. An average heart rate of 130bpm during this activity is within the moderate intensity range for most adults. However, reaching a maximum heart rate of 160bpm indicates that you were pushing yourself towards the higher end of your cardiovascular capacity. It is important to listen to your body and not exceed your maximum heart rate too frequently to avoid overexertion. If you are healthy and have no underlying heart conditions, you can continue with this level of exercise. Remember to stay hydrated and consider incorporating some cool down exercises after your walk to help your heart rate return to normal.
