I've been checking my pulse rate a lot since yesterday, like 34 times, and it's been between 95 to 100 on the pulse oximeter. Is this okay, or does it seem a bit high? I'm just wondering what I should do to improve it if needed.

A pulse rate between 60 to 100 beats per minute is generally considered normal for adults. A pulse rate of 95 to 100 may be slightly on the higher side, but it could be due to various reasons such as stress, anxiety, caffeine intake, or physical activity. To help lower your pulse rate, you can try relaxation techniques like deep breathing exercises, meditation, or yoga. Make sure to stay hydrated, avoid caffeine and nicotine, and get an adequate amount of sleep. If your pulse rate consistently stays high or if you experience any other concerning symptoms, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and guidance.

View allI recently had a blood pressure reading of 140 over 100 and my doctor prescribed some medication. Later, I went through an echo and it turned out I have high anxiety. I'm curious, can echo tests really measure anxiety? And do you think this is something that can be cured, or does it mean I'll be on medication for both anxiety and blood pressure for the rest of my life?
Anxiety cannot be measured in an echocardiogram. Anxiety is a psychological condition that is typically diagnosed based on symptoms and a clinical evaluation by a mental health professional. Treatment for anxiety may include therapy, lifestyle modifications, and medications such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) like Sertraline. It is possible to manage and even overcome anxiety with the right treatment approach. However, it is important to follow your doctor's recommendations and continue with any prescribed medications for both anxiety and high blood pressure to effectively manage both conditions.

I've been feeling this weird vibration in my left chest, and it only lasts for like 1 or 2 seconds before it stops on its own. I'm not really sure what could be causing it or how to make it go away. Could you tell me what might be going on and if there's anything I can do to stop it?
Feeling vibrations in the left chest that stop within 1 to 2 seconds could be due to premature ventricular contractions (PVCs), which are extra, abnormal heartbeats that begin in the ventricles. To help manage PVCs, you can try reducing stress and anxiety, avoiding caffeine and nicotine, and ensuring you stay hydrated. In some cases, if PVCs are frequent or bothersome, a doctor may prescribe a beta-blocker such as Metoprolol (25-50mg) to help regulate the heart rhythm.

We've been giving our mom Axcer 90 mg along with other meds like Atocor, Ecospirin, and stuff for her thyroid for about two months now. We're wondering if we could stop the Axcer since we've been on it for a while and honestly, it's just really expensive. We can't keep up with the cost. Is there a cheaper alternative that works just as well? Would love to hear your advice on this.
no do not stop it without doctors advice,as you say you are having affordability issues,ask your doctor for alternate medication
