I'm Bryan Das, and I'm 23 years old. A few years back, I had issues with heart palpitations and anxiety. My doctor prescribed Ciplar LA 40 after doing a bunch of tests, and I've been on it ever since. I keep an eye on my blood pressure, and it's usually around 12080 or 11775, so that's all good. I feel fine, except for the occasional heaviness in my head when I get acidity problems, but it's not frequent. I've recently been selected as a commissioned officer in the Indian Army, and I'm aware that there's some intense training ahead. Should I be concerned about the military training affecting my heart, and before starting, I'm planning to get into the routine of running or jogging about 3-5 km every morning. Is that safe for me, or are there any risks I should know about? My blood sugar and lipid profile are normal. Would love to hear your thoughts on this!

It's great to hear that your blood pressure remains stable with CIPLAR LA 40 and that your blood sugar and lipid profile tests are normal. With your medical history of heart palpitation and anxiety, it is important to proceed with caution when starting a new exercise routine, especially one as rigorous as military training. Running or jogging for 3-5 km daily can be safe for you, but it is advisable to start slowly and gradually increase your intensity to assess your body's response. Given your stable blood pressure and normal test results, running can be beneficial for your overall health and fitness. However, it is essential to listen to your body and not push yourself too hard, especially if you experience any symptoms such as chest pain, dizziness, or shortness of breath. It would be advisable to consult with your doctor or a cardiologist before starting any new exercise routine to ensure it is safe for you. As for military training, it is important to inform your trainers about your medical history and current medication. They can provide guidance on how to safely participate in the training activities. Regular monitoring of your heart rate and blood pressure during training sessions is also recommended to ensure your safety. In conclusion, running or jogging for 3-5 km daily can be safe for you, but it is crucial to start gradually and listen to your body. Military training can also be safe with proper precautions and monitoring.

View allI've noticed my heart rate drops to around 41-45 when I'm sleeping, and I'm a bit worried about it. I'm currently taking Ivabradine, 5mg twice a day. During the day, my heart rate is generally between 85-90, and it goes up to 105-110 while I'm walking. I started on Ivabradine because my heart rate would hit 150 with just minimal exertion. Is it normal for my heart rate to drop like that while I'm asleep, or should I be concerned?
A heart rate dropping to 41-45 while sleeping can be concerning, especially if you are already on Ivabradine for high heart rate during the day. Since Ivabradine is a medication that helps lower heart rate, it is important to monitor your heart rate closely. In your case, since your heart rate during the day is around 85-90 and 105-110 while walking after taking Ivabradine, it seems like the medication is working to lower your heart rate effectively. However, a heart rate dropping significantly during sleep may warrant further evaluation. I recommend discussing this with your healthcare provider to determine if any adjustments to your medication dosage or timing are needed. It's important to ensure that your heart rate remains within a safe range even during sleep.

I'm experiencing some pain in the area inside my ribs on both sides, especially under my left breast and there's some noticeable swelling too. It's been going on for a few days now. My breathing is generally normal, but sometimes it feels like I have to make an effort to take deeper breaths. I'm getting a bit worried about what might be causing this. Could you provide some advice on what might be happening?
Ecg and x-ray chest is advised to the patient.

My cousin just got his echo report back and the doctor said everything looks normal. He didn't prescribe any medication. His BP is normal and he doesn't have any sugar issues either. Should we be worried about anything? Is there something serious we're missing? Is this totally curable?
Based on this information, there doesn't seem to be anything serious to be concerned about. It's always a good sign when test results come back normal. As there are no specific medications prescribed, it seems like there is no immediate medical treatment required. It's important to continue with regular check-ups and a healthy lifestyle to maintain good health. If any symptoms or concerns arise in the future, it's best to consult with a healthcare provider for further evaluation.
