I'm experiencing some pain in my chest on the right side of my body, especially when I take a deep breath. It's hard to pinpoint the exact spot, but it feels like it's near the upper part of my back. The pain gets intense with certain movements and when I breathe deeply. This happened about a year ago too, and the doctor did an ECG, but everything checked out fine back then. I don't have any other symptoms, and everything else seems normal. Could it be from bad posture while sleeping or sitting, or maybe it's a severe acidity problem? What do you think is causing this?

View allI've noticed that my heart rate is usually somewhere between 68 to 83 bpm during the day. But for the past week, it's been up between 90 and 118 bpm, and it doesn't drop below 85 even when I'm sitting for a while. When I'm asleep, it goes from 50 to 75 bpm. I started going to the gym for cardio and strength training about a month ago, hitting it 5 days a week. Nothing's really changed with my diet or work hours. Had my ECG, ECO, and BP checked and everything seemed normal. What could be causing this increase in my heart rate? Should I be worried about it?
Based on the information provided, the increase in your heart rate could be due to the increased physical activity from your gym routine. It is common for heart rate to be elevated during and after exercise, especially if you have recently started a new workout regimen that includes both cardio and strength training. To help regulate your heart rate, you can consider taking a beta-blocker medication such as Metoprolol. I recommend starting with a low dose of Metoprolol 25mg once daily, and you can adjust the dosage as needed based on your heart rate response. It is important to monitor your heart rate regularly and consult with your healthcare provider for further guidance on medication management. In addition to medication, make sure to stay hydrated, get an adequate amount of rest, and listen to your body during workouts. If you experience any concerning symptoms such as chest pain, dizziness, or shortness of breath, seek medical attention immediately.

I take concor 5mg for my hypertension and high heart rate. I vomited about an hour after taking my dose today. Should I be worried that the tablet might have come out, or is it fine to just continue with my next dose tomorrow?
In this case, it would be best to not take another dose today. Wait until your next scheduled dose tomorrow. If you continue to experience vomiting or any other concerning symptoms, please consult your healthcare provider for further guidance.

My sister's pulse rate is around 120, and she's feeling dizzy. Is this cause for concern? Should we see a doctor, or could this be something normal?
A high pulse rate of 120, especially when accompanied by dizziness, should not be ignored. It is important to consult a doctor for proper evaluation and treatment. In the meantime, you can give her a tablet of Metoprolol (brand name Lopressor) 25mg to help lower her heart rate. Make sure she rests and stays hydrated.
