I've been taking a combo of moduretic and lisinopril for a few years now, with 20mg of lisinopril and 5mg of moduretic. I'm 40 years old, weigh 120kg, and I'm 6ft tall. I try to stay active by working out three times a week. But anytime I push myself a bit, like getting to sleep late, having a few extra drinks, or dealing with stress, my blood pressure seems to get really resistant for days. Is there something I'm missing or should be doing differently?

View allI had a heart attack a couple of months ago and I'm 47. They put in a stent and I've been doing okay. I walk about 5km every morning without any issues. Is it safe for me to start using a treadmill or go for some cycling now? Also, what should my pulse rate be on the treadmill panel? My resting heart rate is usually around 53. Would really appreciate your advice.
It's great that you are staying active after your heart attack. With a stent in place and your regular walking routine, you can gradually incorporate treadmill and cycling into your exercise regimen. When using the treadmill, aim to keep your heart rate within a safe range. For your age, a target heart rate during exercise is typically around 50-85% of your maximum heart rate. To calculate this, subtract your age from 220. So, for you, (220-47) = 173 beats per minute (bpm) is your estimated maximum heart rate. During treadmill exercise, aim to keep your heart rate between 85-147 bpm to ensure you are exercising safely. As for cycling, it is also a great cardiovascular exercise. Start slowly and gradually increase the intensity as tolerated. Pay attention to how your body responds and adjust accordingly. Remember to listen to your body, and if you experience any chest pain, dizziness, or unusual symptoms, stop exercising and seek medical attention.

I'm 23 and had some tests done recently where my ECG and ECHO came back normal, but my QRS duration was 98ms. I'm kind of worried about whether this might have any implications for my health in the future. Can you explain if this is something I should be concerned about?
QRS duration of 98ms is considered to be within normal limits for adults. It is unlikely to cause any issues in the future. No specific treatment is needed for this. Just continue to follow up with your healthcare provider for routine check-ups.

I've been having this weird pain and heaviness in my lower chest whenever Im alone, like when Im outside by myself or just at home. It starts after a while, and then I get this mild shortness of breath, and my pulse goes up to like 105. I had an X-ray, CT pulmonary angiogram, ECG, and 2D echo, but they all came back normal. Also, when I lie down, my feet feel really heavy. Any idea what's going on?
