I've noticed my pulse has been over 100, around 115, for the past two days. Is this something I should be worried about? What could be causing this, and how can I get back to a normal pulse rate?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
A pulse rate of over 100 beats per minute is considered to be higher than normal (tachycardia). There are several possible causes for this, including stress, anxiety, dehydration, fever, anemia, thyroid issues, or certain medications. It is important to monitor your pulse rate and consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation. In the meantime, you can try to relax, stay hydrated, and avoid stimulants like caffeine. If the high pulse rate persists or if you experience any other concerning symptoms, please seek medical advice promptly.

View allI'm currently taking 4mg of Acitrom because I had an AVR procedure. My doctor suggested adding Ecosprin 150 mg, but since Ecosprin is also a blood thinner, I'm feeling a bit uncertain about taking both. Could I be at risk for any complications, or is this combination really safe?
Taking Ecosprin 150 mg along with acitrom can increase the risk of bleeding due to their combined blood-thinning effects. It is important to follow your doctor's advice, but if you have concerns, it is best to discuss them with your doctor.

I'm looking for some help understanding my ECG report. One of the doctors mentioned something called Prolonged QT syndrome, and I'm not exactly sure what that means. Could you give me some more details about it? I've also attached the medications I've been prescribed.
The Prolonged QT syndrome is a heart condition that can potentially cause fast, chaotic heartbeats, which can be life-threatening. It is diagnosed based on an electrocardiogram (ECG) that shows a prolonged QT interval, indicating a delay in the heart's electrical recharging system. This delay can lead to arrhythmias and fainting spells. For the treatment of Prolonged QT syndrome, medications like Beta-blockers are commonly prescribed to help regulate the heart rate and reduce the risk of arrhythmias. In your case, the medication prescribed is **Propranolol** at a dosage of 40mg twice daily. Propranolol is a beta-blocker that helps to stabilize the heart's electrical activity and prevent dangerous heart rhythms. It is important to take the medication as prescribed by your doctor and to follow up regularly to monitor your heart's condition. If you experience any concerning symptoms or side effects, be sure to contact your healthcare provider for further guidance.
