I'm curious if it's normal for my heart rate to be between 50 to 60 while I'm sleeping because I'm noticing it jumps to about 140 when I'm doing housework. Can you tell me if that's okay and what my heart rate should be when I'm resting?

A heart rate of 50 to 60 beats per minute during sleep is generally considered normal, especially if you are physically fit. However, a heart rate of 140 during housework seems elevated and may warrant further evaluation. For sleeping, the normal resting heart rate typically ranges from 60 to 100 beats per minute, but it can be lower in healthy, fit individuals. Its advisable to discuss these fluctuations with your healthcare provider to ensure there are no underlying issues that need addressing

View allI've been dealing with some heart issues after my open heart surgery in 2016 for ASD closure. Lately, I've noticed that my resting heart rate at night sometimes drops below 55, and it feels like my heart might be skipping a beat now and then. Although my 2D Echo results are normal aside from a Grade I diastolic dysfunction, every time I do an ECG at the clinic, it shows a high heart rate but with a sinus rhythm. I've been on Seloken XL 50 every morning and Telmisartan 20mg for the past month, and my doctor wants me to continue for another three months, saying it's just anxiety. I'm kind of worried, though, about whether there's anything concerning with the low heart rate. What should I do?

I'm really worried because my wife's blood pressure was already high at 160100, and she's just started taking Metosartan 50 mg this morning. But now her blood pressure has spiked even higher to 180113. Plus, she's got a headache and chest congestion. Could you help me understand why her BP might be going up despite the medication?
It is possible that her body is still adjusting to the new medication. However, these symptoms could also be indicative of a hypertensive crisis. I recommend seeking immediate medical attention to address her elevated blood pressure. Additionally, it is important to monitor her symptoms closely and follow up with her healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I'm experiencing this sharp pain in my left chest, like someone is poking me with a needle. It's been happening for the last 34 hours, not continuously, but I notice it every few months. It's not regular, but it keeps coming back. What could be causing this?
pain could be a cause of either myocardal infarction, acid reflux and could be either pericarditis or pericardial efusion or it could be precordial catch syndrome
