I've been consistently walking over 10,000 steps a day, or about 10 kilometers daily, for the last 4 to 5 months without missing a day. Recently, I noticed that my resting heart rate is around 55 to 60. Is that something I should be worried about? I had an ECG done about three months ago before my gallbladder surgery, and everything seemed fine back then. Would appreciate any advice or insight.

You mentioned having an ECG done before your gallbladder operation 3 months ago. A resting heart rate of 55 to 60 beats per minute is generally considered normal, especially if you are physically active and have a history of regular exercise. It can be a sign of good cardiovascular fitness. However, it's important to consider your individual health history and any symptoms you may be experiencing. Since you have had an ECG done recently, it would be best to consult with your healthcare provider to review the results and ensure that there are no concerning findings related to your heart rate. If you are not experiencing any symptoms such as dizziness, chest pain, or shortness of breath, a resting heart rate in this range is usually not a cause for concern.

View allI've noticed that whenever I eat food or refined oil, my blood pressure rises, and I feel this intense warmth inside my body. Plus, my hand nerves start beating at 100 beats per minute. Is this normal, or should I be worried about something more serious?
It could be a sign of a possible food sensitivity or intolerance. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and consult with your doctor for further evaluation and management. In the meantime, you can try to avoid foods that trigger these symptoms and consider taking medication.

What is a heart cough?
Heavy breathing accompanied by spells of wet cough with frothy sputum that may be tinged with blood is called as "Cardiac cough or Heart cough". It is a sign of congestive heart failure. Additional symptoms such as shortness of breath on exertion or rest, leg swelling, waking up from sleep in the middle of night gasping and coughing differentiate heart cough from cough due to lung conditions.

My sister's been dealing with some pain on her left side, like under her armpit and shoulder, for a month. She had an ECG done back then, and it seemed normal. But now, she just got another ECG and it said "borderline abnormal." Should we think about doing another one or maybe see a cardiologist? What do you suggest?
