I'm getting really tired when I dance or do even small heavy tasks, and I'm not sure why. I already had an ECG, and it came back normal. I'm just wondering if there's something else that could be causing this?

Feeling tired during physical activity could be due to various reasons, even if your ECG results are normal. One common reason for this could be iron deficiency anemia. I recommend you to take iron supplements like Ferrous Sulfate 325mg once daily after meals for a few months. Additionally, make sure you are staying hydrated and eating a balanced diet rich in iron and other essential nutrients. If the symptoms persist, further evaluation may be needed.

I've noticed that when I'm running, my heart rate is pretty slow at about 59 bpm, but when I'm just resting, it shoots up to somewhere between 80 to 90 bpm. Is that normal? It seems a bit odd to me and I'm starting to get worried. Could it mean something's up with my heart health?

A slow heart rate during exercise can sometimes be a sign of good cardiovascular fitness. However, if you are experiencing symptoms such as dizziness, lightheadedness, or chest pain, it's important to consult a healthcare professional. For a faster heart rate at rest, you may consider taking a beta-blocker medication like Metoprolol. The usual dosage for Metoprolol is 25-100mg once or twice daily, as prescribed by your doctor
