I've noticed that my heart rate is usually pretty high, hovering around 90 to 100 beats per minute. Is this something I should be concerned about? What steps can I take to address this, and what kind of treatment would be recommended?

A heart rate of 90 to 100 beats per minute can be considered high, especially at rest. This condition is known as tachycardia. To lower your heart rate, you can try lifestyle changes such as reducing stress, avoiding stimulants like caffeine, and staying hydrated. However, if these measures do not work, medication may be necessary. You can take Metoprolol at a dosage of 25-50mg once daily to help lower your heart rate. This medication is a beta-blocker that can effectively reduce heart rate and blood pressure. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any medication to ensure it is safe and appropriate for you.

I've been taking some medication for high blood pressure and a high heart rate, which was prescribed for a month. After just a couple of days, my BP and heart rate are back to normal. Do I still need to keep taking the tablets for a full month even if everything seems okay now? Is there a chance the medicine could make my blood pressure and heart rate drop too low?
It is important to continue taking the medication for the full duration as prescribed by your doctor. Abruptly stopping the medication can lead to a sudden increase in blood pressure and heart rate. The medication is likely helping to regulate your blood pressure and heart rate, so it is important to complete the full course to ensure long-term control. It is unlikely that the medication will cause low blood pressure and low heart rate now, especially if your levels are currently normal. However, if you experience any unusual symptoms or side effects, it is important to consult your doctor for further evaluation and guidance.

I just found out there are blockages in both arteries on the left and right sides of my heart. The doctor said they're about 6 to 8 months old. Should I be worried about how old these blockages are and what kind of treatment is usually recommended for this? I'm feeling a bit anxious about what this means for my health going forward.
As there are 2 vessels blocked you can be on conservative management and closely monitored if needed stenting might be done,follow your doctors advice
