I'm a bit worried because my heart rate is around 113 BPM even when I'm just resting, but my ECG came back normal. I have to admit, I'm pretty lazy and don't get much exercise, and my breathing gets heavier when I try to run. Could my lifestyle be causing this high heart rate, or should I be concerned about something else?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
A heart rate of 113 BPM at rest can be caused by various factors, including physical inactivity and a sedentary lifestyle. Since you mentioned that your ECG is normal, it is less likely to be due to a heart condition. The increase in respiratory rate on running suggests that your body is not efficiently adapting to physical exertion. To address this issue, I recommend starting with lifestyle modifications such as regular exercise and physical activity. Additionally, you can consider taking medication like Metoprolol to help lower your heart rate and improve cardiovascular health. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any medication regimen.

View allI've been feeling some pain in my throat when I swallow, and it's really uncomfortable. Plus, every time I move, I get this chest pain, and both of my arms are just aching so badly. What could be going on here? Is it something I should be worried about?
These symptoms could be indicative of a viral infection or inflammation. To help alleviate your symptoms, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen (Tylenol) for the chest and arm pain. For the throat pain, you can try lozenges containing benzocaine (Cepacol) to numb the throat. Additionally, you can use throat sprays like chloraseptic for relief. Make sure to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I've been having these frequent palpitations lately, and my heart seems to be pounding harder than usual. I had an echo done a couple of months ago, and it came out normal. I just did an ECG a couple of days ago, and I've attached the results. Should I be worried about this?
The ECG you have attached shows sinus tachycardia, which means your heart is beating faster than normal. Since your echo two months back was normal, this may be due to other factors such as stress, anxiety, caffeine intake, or thyroid issues. I recommend you to take a beta-blocker like Metoprolol 25mg once daily to help control your heart rate and palpitations. It is important to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.

I'm feeling a lot of pain in the upper muscles of my chest, even though I can breathe normally. It feels like there's pressure on my chest. I recently had a chest X-ray, and the doctor said it was normal. I've got acidity, and I'm not sure if that's what's causing this much pain. It sometimes feels like I might fall over, but my blood pressure and sugar levels are normal. I'm really anxious about my health. I've already taken all the reports; CT scan for my brain was normal, and liver, kidney, and thyroid are also fine. I even checked cardio and took a TMT which came back negative. But both the right and left chest muscles are still hurting. What should I do?
tab pantop 40mg for 5 day and continue anxiety treatment
