I'm really concerned about my dad. He's dealing with heart issues and fluid retention, and while he's on the right meds and treatments, he still seems to lose energy often and can't do his usual daily stuff. Is this kind of fatigue normal for someone in his condition, or could there be a particular reason behind it? I'm also curious if there's any surgical option that might help his situation. What do you think?

I've read that a normal resting heart rate is between 60-100, but mine usually stays around 53-55. I'm 45 years old, and I've been on blood pressure medication for 25 years now. At the moment, I'm taking Metoprolol 25 in the morning and Telday 40 at night. My ECG results were normal, but my echocardiogram showed normal results with reduced diastolic compliance. Should I be worried about my heart rate?

Given your age and medical history, it may not be a cause for immediate concern, especially if your ECG was normal and your echo showed normal findings with reduced diastolic compliance. To address your worries about your heart rate, it would be advisable to consult with your doctor to discuss the possibility of adjusting your medication dosage. In the meantime, continue monitoring your heart rate regularly and report any significant changes or symptoms to your healthcare provider. If you continue to experience concerns about your heart rate, your doctor may consider adjusting your metoprolol dosage or exploring other treatment options. It's important to follow up with your healthcare provider for personalized recommendations based on your individual health status. Take care and stay healthy.

My heart rate is usually over 100 and I've been having trouble sleeping too. I recently had septoplasty surgery could these issues be related? What could be causing the high heart rate and sleep problems?
