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.

View allI'm really concerned because I had COVID about three months ago, and although Im better now, my chest still feels pretty heavy sometimes. At the beginning, my left hand felt numb, and I had palpitations, so I took Corbis 2.5 for about 10 days. The palpitations seem to be okay now, but the heaviness in my chest is still there, especially if I try to work out or lift heavy things. The intensity has decreased a bit, but it's still noticeable. I've had a bunch of tests like ECG, ECHO, D-dimer, CKMB, TNI, BNP, MYO, a chest X-ray, and PFT, all of which came back normal. Lately, Ive noticed that if I press on my chest, I hear a crackling sound like when you crack your knuckles. What could be causing this and what should I do about it?
That could be due to costochondritis,no need to worry take adequate rest and do breating excercises and also do use flexon tablet when you have severe pain

My dad, who's 69, had some pretty serious chest pain last week. An ECG showed something wasn't right and his angiography results mentioned artery blockages at 90%, 80%, and 70%. He's now on medication, but I'm really concerned. What does this all mean for his health, and are there other treatments we should consider to address these blockages?
It sounds like your father is experiencing significant heart issues with the reported artery blockages. To help manage the condition and prevent further complications, it is crucial for him to continue with the prescribed medications. One common medication that is often used in such cases is Atorvastatin, which helps lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart-related events. Additionally, medications like Aspirin can be beneficial in preventing blood clots and improving blood flow through the blocked arteries. It is important for your father to follow the dosage instructions provided by his healthcare provider and attend regular follow-up appointments to monitor his progress. In some cases, additional interventions such as angioplasty or bypass surgery may be recommended. Regular exercise, a healthy diet, and lifestyle modifications are also essential in managing his condition.

I've been having this strange feeling in the middle of my chest, right about my breasts, for a couple of days now. It's hard to put into words but it feels kind of tight and heavy, and sometimes it even hurts when I breathe. I'm starting to get worried. Do you have any idea what might be causing this?
The symptoms you're describing, such as a tight and heavy feeling in the middle of your chest, discomfort when breathing, and difficulty describing the sensation, could be related to various conditions, including anxiety, stress, or even a panic attack; however, it's essential to consult a healthcare professional for a proper evaluation, especially if the symptoms persist or worsen, to rule out any underlying cardiac or respiratory issues.
