I've noticed my heart rate is jumping between 54 and 131. I'm a healthy 19-year-old, so is this normal? Should I be worried about these fluctuations?

Your fluctuating heart rate may be due to various factors. It's important to monitor your heart rate and consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation. In the meantime, you can try taking propranolol 10mg twice daily to help regulate your heart rate. Make sure to follow up with your doctor for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

I'm a bit concerned after my recent doctor visit. I had some left shoulder pain and my hands felt a bit numb after traveling, so I went to get checked out. The doctor had me do an ECG and mentioned that the QRS interval was 119ms, along with some other abnormalities, then suggested an echo just to be sure. The echo results seemed alright, showing no PAH or RWAH, and my LV systolic and diastolic function looks fine with an EF of 68. They didn't find any clots or vegetation, and the doctor said my echo is fine, but I'm still worried about the QRS interval on my ECG. Should I be looking deeper into this, or is it nothing too concerning?

The ECG report showing a QRS interval of 119ms may indicate a slight delay in the electrical conduction through the heart's lower chambers. This could be due to various reasons such as conduction abnormalities or certain heart conditions. However, since your screening echo came back normal with no significant findings, it is less likely to be a cause for concern. To alleviate your left shoulder pain and numbness in hands, you can take over-the-counter painkillers such as ibuprofen (e.g., Advil) at a dose of 400mg every 4-6 hours as needed for pain relief. Additionally, you can also consider using topical pain relief creams such as diclofenac gel for localized relief. It is always advisable to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management based on your individual health condition.

I'm really worried about my mom. Her blood pressure reading is 150 over 82. Is this something we should be concerned about? Does it mean she has high BP? I'm wondering if we should consult a doctor and consider medication. What would you advise?

blood pressure reading of 15082 is considered elevated, with the systolic pressure (150) being in the stage 1 hypertension range. It is important to monitor her blood pressure regularly to see if it stays consistently high. In case of persistent high blood pressure, medication may be required. I recommend consulting a doctor for further evaluation and to discuss potential treatment options. In terms of medication, the doctor may prescribe antihypertensive drugs such as Losartan 50mg or Amlodipine 5mg to help lower her blood pressure.

I've been dealing with anxiety and blood pressure issues and was initially on betacap tr40. My doctor switched me over to telma 20, but I started experiencing palpitations. So I saw another doctor who changed my medication to nebicard 2.5, but I'm still having those palpitations. Now, my psychiatrist is suggesting I take petril beta at night. Is it okay if I take nebicard 2.5 in the morning and petril beta at night? I'm a bit concerned and just want to make sure it's safe.

u have to take petril beta at night only.
