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.

View allI'm feeling really concerned because for the last 23 days I've been having this chest pain on the left side. It spreads to my left hand and even down to my wrist. It feels like my chest is being squeezed, and at times it's like someone's poking me with a pin. The pain sometimes goes to my back too. About six months ago, I had this pain that felt like a mild heart attack. Do you think this could be something serious?
Chest pain, especially when radiating to the arm and back, could be a sign of a heart issue. Given your past experience, I strongly recommend that you seek immediate medical evaluation to rule out any serious heart conditions.

I'm really concerned about my recent master checkup results. The doctor mentioned I have an abnormal heart rhythm where my heart stops for 1.8 seconds. He said it's a birth defect and suggested I get a pacemaker. I've been feeling dizzy lately, and I'm wondering if that's related to my heart issue. Do you think it's a good idea to go ahead with the pacemaker? Are there any other treatments or alternatives you would recommend?
Yes, the dizziness could be related to the abnormal heart rhythm causing brief pauses in the heart's electrical activity. A pacemaker is commonly recommended for individuals with significant heart rhythm abnormalities like yours to help regulate the heart's rhythm and prevent pauses that can lead to symptoms like dizziness. Alternative treatments may include medications to help control the heart rhythm, but in cases where there are significant pauses in the heart rhythm, a pacemaker is often the most effective and safest option to prevent complications and improve quality of life. It is advisable to follow your doctor's recommendation to have a pacemaker implanted to help regulate your heart rhythm and prevent further symptoms like dizziness.

I'm Bryan Das, and I'm 23 years old. A few years back, I had issues with heart palpitations and anxiety. My doctor prescribed Ciplar LA 40 after doing a bunch of tests, and I've been on it ever since. I keep an eye on my blood pressure, and it's usually around 12080 or 11775, so that's all good. I feel fine, except for the occasional heaviness in my head when I get acidity problems, but it's not frequent. I've recently been selected as a commissioned officer in the Indian Army, and I'm aware that there's some intense training ahead. Should I be concerned about the military training affecting my heart, and before starting, I'm planning to get into the routine of running or jogging about 3-5 km every morning. Is that safe for me, or are there any risks I should know about? My blood sugar and lipid profile are normal. Would love to hear your thoughts on this!
It's great to hear that your blood pressure remains stable with CIPLAR LA 40 and that your blood sugar and lipid profile tests are normal. With your medical history of heart palpitation and anxiety, it is important to proceed with caution when starting a new exercise routine, especially one as rigorous as military training. Running or jogging for 3-5 km daily can be safe for you, but it is advisable to start slowly and gradually increase your intensity to assess your body's response. Given your stable blood pressure and normal test results, running can be beneficial for your overall health and fitness. However, it is essential to listen to your body and not push yourself too hard, especially if you experience any symptoms such as chest pain, dizziness, or shortness of breath. It would be advisable to consult with your doctor or a cardiologist before starting any new exercise routine to ensure it is safe for you. As for military training, it is important to inform your trainers about your medical history and current medication. They can provide guidance on how to safely participate in the training activities. Regular monitoring of your heart rate and blood pressure during training sessions is also recommended to ensure your safety. In conclusion, running or jogging for 3-5 km daily can be safe for you, but it is crucial to start gradually and listen to your body. Military training can also be safe with proper precautions and monitoring.
