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.

I'm noticing something strange and I'm a bit worried. My heart rate seems normal, but I've been feeling my whole body pulse with each heartbeat. I can even see my clothes moving around my chest, and if I'm holding something, it moves too. I especially notice it when I touch my abdomen or my neck. On top of that, I've been having some light chest pains every now and then. Could this be something to be concerned about? Any advice would be appreciated.

I'm really concerned because my dad just had Angioplasty and Thrombosuction after he suffered a major heart attack last week. Now he's experiencing pain in the fingers of the hand that was used for the procedure. Has anyone seen this before, and what should we do about it?

Pain in the fingers of the hand used for angioplasty could be due to several factors, including irritation from the catheter insertion site, bruising, or local inflammation. It's important to monitor the area for signs of infection, such as increased redness, swelling, warmth, or discharge. Resting the hand and applying a cold compress can help alleviate discomfort. However, if the pain persists or worsens, or if there are signs of infection or compromised blood flow (such as color changes in the fingers or numbness), please contact your father's healthcare provider promptly for further evaluation and management.

What do you think it means when my ECG shows a T wave inversion and my echo test results are fine, but my TMT test comes back positive? These have been the results for the past ten years. Now I've also caught COVID-19 with a mild lung infection. Any advice?

based on your description of T wave inversion in ECG, a positive TMT test for the past 10 years, and mild COVID-19 infection in the lungs, it suggests that you may have a long-standing cardiac issue. The T wave inversion in ECG can indicate heart muscle ischemia or other cardiac problems. Since your TMT test has been positive for the past 10 years, it indicates that there is a likelihood of coronary artery disease or heart-related issues. In this case, it is important to continue monitoring your heart health closely. You may consider taking medications such as Aspirin and Atorvastatin to reduce the risk of heart complications. Additionally, for your mild COVID-19 infection, it is crucial to follow the prescribed treatment plan, rest, stay hydrated, and monitor your symptoms closely. Please consult your healthcare provider for a thorough evaluation and personalized treatment plan.
