I'm noticing some weird fluctuations in my heart rate. Out of nowhere, it sometimes shoots up to 90-110. Heres what Ive tracked: when Im sleeping, it varies between 65-80, and when Im resting, it's around 70-90. But it gets to 90-110 when Im stressed. Climbing up to my apartment on the 3rd floor gets it to 110-120, a 5-minute walk pushes it to 100, and a 30-minute walk averages at 140 according to my smartwatch. After an hour walk, my watch shows an average of 165. And when I skip for just 5 minutes, my heart rate jumps to 140. Is this normal, or should I be worried? Ive stopped exercising because it seems like my heart rate goes up too much. I'm 32, by the way.

Based on the information you provided, your heart rate seems to be fluctuating quite a bit. It is normal for your heart rate to increase during physical activity, stress, or even when climbing stairs. However, consistently high heart rates during rest or sleep could indicate an underlying issue. I recommend consulting with a healthcare professional for a thorough evaluation. In the meantime, you can try to incorporate moderate-intensity exercises like brisk walking or swimming into your routine and monitor your heart rate closely. If you experience any chest pain, dizziness, or shortness of breath, please seek immediate medical attention

I've been diagnosed with coronary heart disease and my doctor recommended bypass surgery but I've also heard about EECP and chelation therapy as alternatives. I'm really confused about which option to choose and worried about the costs. One source said EECP costs around 70-80 thousand but a local hospital quoted 2.5 lakh rupees. Can you help me understand the pros and cons of each treatment and why there's such a big difference in the cost?

Bypass surgery is a major decision. EECP is non-invasive and more affordable, but bypass surgery may offer more immediate results. The cost difference is often due to location, equipment, and the type of care provided at the hospital.

I'm really worried about my mom. Her blood pressure has been consistently over 14090 for the past year. She's actually quite healthy otherwise, and makes sure to walk for at least 30 minutes every morning. She's even cut back on her sodium intake. Do you think she still needs to start taking medication to help control her blood pressure?

Given that your mother's blood pressure has been consistently above 14090 mmHg for a year, it is important to manage it to reduce the risk of complications such as heart disease or stroke. While lifestyle changes like reducing sodium intake and regular exercise are excellent steps, they might not be sufficient on their own. It would be best for her to consult with her healthcare provider to determine if she needs medication to help control her blood pressure.

I'm really worried because my heart rate has been staying between 100 and 130 for the past three months. Just a few days ago, I started feeling pain in my chest and arm. What should I do?

Your symptoms of a persistently high heart rate along with chest and arm pain are concerning for a possible cardiac issue. It is important to seek immediate medical attention for further evaluation and treatment. In the meantime, you can take Aspirin 325mg immediately to help reduce the risk of blood clot formation. But, please do not delay seeking medical help.
