I'm checking my husband's pulse with the oximeter while he's sitting, and it's showing between 55 and 64. He's 34, has no health problems, but is currently COVID positive. Is this a normal reading? Would love some insight!

A pulse rate of 55 to 64 beats per minute while sitting can be considered normal for some individuals, especially those who are physically fit. However, in the context of being COVID positive, it is important to monitor his pulse rate closely as it can be affected by the infection. If he experiences any symptoms like dizziness, shortness of breath, or chest pain along with the low pulse rate, it is advisable to seek medical attention. As of now, continue monitoring his pulse rate and oxygen saturation levels regularly.

View allI did an ECG, echo, chest X-ray, and TMT about 2 months ago, and thankfully all the tests came back normal. Since then, Ive managed to get my blood pressure down to 12480. I'm 30 years old, a non-smoker, and I dont drink alcohol. Could you give me some advice on when I should consider repeating these tests?
Hi, since your previous tests were normal and you have controlled your blood pressure well, you can repeat the ECG, echo, chest x-ray, and TMT tests every 1-2 years for routine monitoring.

I'm dealing with an anxiety disorder, and my doctor prescribed me 12 Ciplar LA 20. Unfortunately, it's out of stock, but I found Ciplar 10 instead. I'm wondering if they're the same or if I should do something different. Can you help me figure this out?
YES. Continue same treatment.
