I'm really worried about my dad. He has a stent in his heart, and when we checked his pulse on the oximeter, it showed 5659. He's also taking Concor 5. Could this be something serious?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
A pulse rate of 56-59 beats per minute can be considered lower than normal (bradycardia), especially for someone with a history of heart issues like stenting. Concor 5 contains Bisoprolol, which is a beta-blocker used to treat high blood pressure and heart conditions. In this case, the low pulse rate could be a side effect of the medication. It is important to monitor his pulse rate regularly and consult with his healthcare provider. If he experiences symptoms like dizziness, fainting, chest pain, or shortness of breath, seek medical attention promptly. The dosage of Concor 5 should be reviewed by his doctor to ensure it is appropriate for him.

View allI've been feeling a bit off lately and got a 2D echo. It says I have LV diastolic dysfunction type 1. I'm only 34. Is this something I should be really worried about? What should I do next?
LV diastolic dysfunction type 1 indicates that the left ventricle of your heart is not relaxing properly during the filling phase. In such cases, it is important to manage any underlying conditions that may be contributing to this dysfunction. Treatment may include medications such as ACE inhibitors like Enalapril 5-20mg once daily or ARBs like Losartan 25-100mg once daily to help improve heart function and reduce symptoms. It is also important to make lifestyle changes such as maintaining a healthy diet, regular exercise, and avoiding smoking to support heart health. Regular follow-up with your healthcare provider is essential to monitor your condition and adjust treatment as needed.
