I'm a software engineer and I'm generally in good health. My BMI is normal and my blood pressure is fine too. But I've noticed that my resting heart rate is always over 90 and it's kind of unsettling. I've recently started working out to stay fit and while I don't feel any discomfort, that number still worries me. Should I be concerned about it? What could be causing this and is there a way to bring it down to a normal range?

View allI'm really concerned about my dad's health. Last year in July, he had angioplasty and the doctor put two stents in one artery and one stent in another. He's been following the doctor's diet and taking his meds regularly. Is there still a chance his blood vessels might get blocked again?
It is important for your father to continue taking his prescribed medications and follow the doctor's diet chart to reduce the risk of blockage in the blood vessels. To further prevent blockage, the following medications are commonly prescribed after angioplasty: 1. Antiplatelet agents such as Aspirin or Clopidogrel to prevent blood clots - Dosage as per doctor's prescription 2. Statins such as Atorvastatin or Rosuvastatin to lower cholesterol levels - Dosage as per doctor's prescription 3. ACE inhibitors or ARBs to control blood pressure and improve heart function - Dosage as per doctor's prescription 4. Beta-blockers to reduce the heart's workload and lower blood pressure - Dosage as per doctor's prescription Regular follow-up appointments with the cardiologist are also important to monitor your father's heart health and make any necessary adjustments to his treatment plan.

I've been getting these sudden chest pains, and they sorta feel like they're in my heart. It happens randomly, not every day, and only lasts a few minutes before it goes away. It's been going on for a couple of years now, and I'm starting to get a bit worried. Could this be something serious?
This type of chest pain could be related to a condition called angina, which is chest pain or discomfort caused by reduced blood flow to the heart. I recommend you to take Aspirin 81mg during the chest pain episode. Also, you should consult with your doctor for further evaluation and management.

I'm really worried about my brother. He had a heart attack in March 2017, and it turned out he had a 100% blockage in a left artery. He's been taking meds like planep 25mg, sexeloxon, and roustor gold10 to help with this. I'm just wondering, can medication actually remove the blockage, or is that not possible? And how do we even check if the blockage has improved or if it's still completely blocked?
To check if the blockage has been reduced or is still at 100%, he can undergo a diagnostic test called a coronary angiography. This procedure will provide detailed images of the arteries and can show if there has been any improvement in the blockage. It is important to follow up with his cardiologist for further evaluation and management."
