I've just turned 39 and I'm a bit concerned about some results from a pre-employment medical test I took. My blood pressure came out as 110 over 70, which I think is okay but I'm not sure. My total cholesterol is at 225, should I be worried about that? Also, the ECG report mentioned sinus bradycardia and I don't really know what that means. Is this something I should be concerned about?

You have a blood pressure of 11070, total cholesterol of 225, and sinus bradycardia on your ECG report. For your blood pressure of 11070, it falls within the normal range. A total cholesterol level of 225 is slightly above the recommended level of less than 200. You may consider lifestyle changes such as a healthy diet, regular exercise, and possibly medication like atorvastatin to lower your cholesterol levels. Sinus bradycardia is a condition where your heart rate is slower than normal. If you are not experiencing any symptoms such as dizziness, fatigue, or fainting, it may not be a cause for concern. However, if you have symptoms, you may need further evaluation by a cardiologist. Overall, it would be advisable to follow up with your healthcare provider for a more personalized assessment and management plan.

I'm a bit concerned about my heart health. In March, my cardiologist recommended a 2D echo and TMT test. I've started taking Prolomet R50 and Deplatt A 75 as prescribed. I'm just wondering, does it seem like we're on the right track with the treatment plan?

I've been noticing this weird thing where I can feel my pulse in my fingertips if I press them firmly on something hard. It's not all the time, and it doesn't hurt, but when I grip something and accidentally focus on it, I feel my heartbeatit's like a straight-up pulse. I've talked to a cardiologist and two neurologists about this. One suggested a color Doppler test without fully hearing me out, and the other said not to worry. It's just confusing because, like with a pulse oximeter reading from the finger, I wonder if this is normal. I've done all the heart tests, and they came back clear, but once my blood pressure shot up to 160118 due to stress from an injury. No other issues now, but it's still annoying, and I've consulted two GPs as well. Is this pulse sensation normal, or should I be concerned?
-It's generally normal to feel a pulse in your fingertips, especially if you press down on a hard surface or grip something tightly. The pulse you're feeling is likely just the natural blood flow, similar to what a pulse oximeter detects. Since you've had
