I'm concerned about my heart rateit's usually over 100, and I get palpitations a lot. When I'm just lying in bed, my heart rate gets between 110-120, and even just climbing up one flight of stairs sends it up to 160. My thyroid levels are normal, though I do have a thyroid nodule. My haemoglobin is at 9, and my BMI is normal. I also have spondyloarthropathy and hidradenitis suppurativa, so my CRP and ESR levels are high. I've attached an ECG from my Apple Watch that I took during the palpitations. Is such a high heart rate normal?

Based on your symptoms and medical history, it seems like you may be experiencing tachycardia, which is an abnormally high heart rate. Given your palpitations, breathlessness, and elevated heart rate even with minimal exertion, it is important to further evaluate the underlying cause. Considering your conditions and symptoms, I recommend you consult a cardiologist for a thorough evaluation. In the meantime, to help manage your symptoms, you can consider taking Metoprolol at a starting dose of 25mg once daily. This medication can help lower your heart rate and reduce palpitations. It is crucial to monitor your heart rate regularly and keep a record to share with your healthcare provider for a more accurate assessment and management plan.

I've got a weak heart and I'm dealing with blood pressure and cholesterol issues. My doctor has prescribed me a bunch of medications: Telemikind 40, Rosuvas, Prolomet XL 40, Clopilet, Finate 160, Rabekind, Amlopin 10, and Homocheck. Is this the right combination for my condition?

The medications you listed are commonly used for heart conditions and managing cholesterol levels. Here is the breakdown of the medications and their dosages: - Telemikind 40 (Telmisartan 40mg): This is used to treat high blood pressure. - Rosuvas (Rosuvastatin): This is used to lower cholesterol levels. - Prolomet XL 40 (Metoprolol ER 40mg): This is a beta-blocker used to treat high blood pressure and heart conditions. - Clopilet 75 (Clopidogrel 75mg): This is an antiplatelet medication to prevent blood clots. - Finate 160 (Fenofibrate 160mg): This is used to lower cholesterol and triglyceride levels. - Rabekind (Rabeprazole): This is a proton pump inhibitor used to reduce stomach acid. - Amlopin 10 (Amlodipine 10mg): This is used to treat high blood pressure and chest pain. - Homocheck: I am not familiar with this specific medication. It is possible that it is a supplement or a combination product. It's important to take these medications as prescribed by your doctor and attend regular follow-up appointments to monitor your condition.

I've been wondering about how long it might take for the heart to heal after getting a stent in the main artery at age 48. If the person isnt an alcoholic or diabetic, follows a vegetarian diet, eats very little fast food, but does consume dairy products like curd, malai, and cream, would this kind of lifestyle impact their recovery time? I'm just trying to figure out what factors might affect the healing process.

For most people, stent implantation recovery is fairly quick, with initial healing taking about 4 to 6 weeks and full recovery occurring over the course of 3 to 6 months. Since the person in question has a generally healthy lifestyle and no major risk factors, their recovery should be smooth, but they will still need to follow their cardiologists advice regarding diet, exercise, and medication. Its essential to maintain a healthy diet, continue taking prescribed medications, and regularly follow up with the cardiologist. The doctor will provide personalized advice on when to resume more intense activities, based on progress.
