I'm noticing my heart rate hits around 100 to 120 during the day but drops to 80 to 90 while I'm asleep. I had an ECG done, and it showed sinus tachycardia, but the echo and thyroid results came back normal. What should I do next?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Given your heart rate of 100-120 during the day and 80-90 at night, along with an ECG showing sinus tachycardia and normal echo and thyroid reports, its important to explore other potential causes. The next steps could include:
- Holter Monitor: Wearing a Holter monitor for 24-48 hours can provide detailed information on your heart rate and rhythm throughout the day and night.
- Electrolyte Levels: Blood tests to check for electrolyte imbalances that may affect heart rate.
- Lifestyle Factors: Evaluate and address lifestyle factors such as caffeine intake, stress, anxiety, and physical activity levels, which can all influence heart rate.
- Autonomic Function Tests: Assess autonomic nervous system function to rule out conditions like POTS (postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome).
Consult with your healthcare provider to discuss these options and determine the appropriate next steps for further evaluation and management.

View allI'm really worried about my blood pressure because even though I'm taking telma 40, austin cv, and dilgem 90 at night, my bp still isn't under controlit's currently 13797 with a pulse rate of 108. I also discovered I have a 2-80 block in my angiography, though my ECG seems normal. What should I do, and should I be concerned about anything else?
Your current blood pressure reading of 13797 is still elevated, especially with a pulse rate of 108. Since you have significant blockage in one of your coronary arteries, it is important to manage your blood pressure effectively. I recommend adding a calcium channel blocker to your current medication regimen. You can ask your doctor about adding a medication like Amlodipine (brand name Norvasc) 5mg once daily to help lower your blood pressure. Additionally, lifestyle modifications such as reducing salt intake, regular exercise, and stress management can also help in controlling your blood pressure.

My dad has blockages in all three arteries and the numbers are 90 80 80. How long can he safely wait before getting surgery? I'm really worried about his condition.
A detailed evaluation will help decide the best course of action.

I'm a bit worried about my dad's blood pressure. He got it checked today just for a routine check-up and it was 144100. He's 53 and doesn't have any medical conditions. He's pretty active and walks 2 to 3 km every day. Is this blood pressure range okay for his age, or should he start taking medication to control it? What do you suggest?
Your father's blood pressure reading of 144100 mmHg is considered stage 2 hypertension, which is above the normal range for his age; given his active lifestyle and lack of underlying medical conditions, lifestyle modifications such as increasing physical activity, reducing sodium intake, and stress management should be attempted first, before considering medication
