I'm worried about my pulse rate, which tends to be pretty high, between 100 and 120, and sometimes even hits 130 or more. I just got over dengue and noticed my pulse was between 90 and 110 during that time. Should I see a cardiologist right away, or is it okay to give my body a few days to rest first?

It is important to monitor your pulse rate closely, especially after recovering from dengue. A persistently high pulse rate can be a sign of an underlying issue that may need medical attention. In your case, since your pulse rate is consistently high and has even increased after recovering from dengue, it would be advisable to consult a cardiologist sooner rather than later. The cardiologist can evaluate your condition, perform any necessary tests, and recommend appropriate treatment. It is better to address any potential concerns promptly to ensure your heart health is optimal.

I'm a bit worried about my cholesterol levels after getting my test results. My total cholesterol is 179 mgdL, and my HDL is 54 mgdL, but my triglycerides are 255 mgdL. The LDL came in at 77 mgdL and VLDL was calculated at 50.9 mgdL. I've read that the TCHDL ratio is 3.3, and the LDLHDL ratio is 1.4are these numbers okay? Should I be concerned about my triglycerides and how they might affect my health? What should I do next?

The lipid profile results show that your total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and triglyceride levels are within normal ranges. However, your VLDL cholesterol level is slightly elevated, which may increase your risk of heart disease. To help lower your triglyceride levels and VLDL cholesterol, you can consider taking a medication such as Atorvastatin (brand name Lipitor) at a dosage of 10-80 mg per day. It is important to also maintain a healthy diet and lifestyle to improve your lipid profile.

I'm a 25-year-old male and have been having chest pain for the last three months, along with a pulling sensation in my left hand. I got ECG and TMT tests done two months ago, and they came back fine. But I still get this sudden sensation in my chest sometimes. My doctor mentioned it could be anxiety, and I'm really anxious about my health now. I've started yoga and meditation for the past couple of weeks, but the symptoms are still there. My palms and feet are sweating too, and the pain and pulling aren't constant. My blood pressure is normal, I don't have high cholesterol, and there's no family history of heart issues. What can I do to overcome this? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thats clearly anxiety disorder,visit Psychiatrist for a better treatment and counselling and also practice meditation and breathing excercises,take adequate rest and maintain healthy life style
