I'm really concerned because my pulse rate is consistently over 100. Could this be something serious? What kind of treatments are available, and are there specific precautions I should be taking to manage this? I'm really worried and would appreciate any advice you can give.

A pulse rate consistently above 100 beats per minute is known as tachycardia. The underlying causes of tachycardia can vary, including stress, anxiety, dehydration, anemia, thyroid disorders, heart conditions, and certain medications. To treat it, you can try relaxation techniques, stay hydrated, and avoid stimulants like caffeine. If the problem persists, you may need medication such as Metoprolol (25-50mg) to help regulate your heart rate. It is important to monitor your pulse regularly and consult with your doctor for further evaluation and management.

View allI'm a 46-year-old guy who's a bit on the heavier side. I've always been healthy, but lately, they've told me I've got hypertension. I'm not a fan of allopathic medicine because I'm worried about the long-term side effects. Do you have any natural treatment options for dealing with hypertension?

What does it mean when my TMT report says no significant STT changes were noted? Is this something I should be worried about? Ive attached the report for reference.
In your TMT report, the mention of "No significant ST-T changes noted" means that there were no abnormal changes observed in the ST segment or T wave of your electrocardiogram during the test. This is a good sign as it indicates that there are no signs of ischemia or heart muscle damage during physical activity. There is no need to worry about this finding.

I've been having this pain on the left side of my chest for the past 8 months, since September. I've already done ECG, Echo, TMT, and various blood tests but everything came back normal. The pain comes and goes, but in the last few days, it's been bothering me again. On top of that, I'm experiencing body pain too. What could be causing this? Should I be worried?
It sounds like you have been experiencing left side chest pain for quite some time, despite normal results from various tests. Since the pain has started again recently and you are also experiencing body pain, it may be helpful to try a medication like Acetaminophen (Tylenol) 500mg for pain relief. You can take 1-2 tablets every 4-6 hours as needed for chest and body pain. However, if the pain persists or worsens, it is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation.
