I've noticed that my resting heart rate usually falls between 53 and 60, and my blood pressure seems fine. I don't experience shortness of breath, weakness, or any faintness. I don't get tired during physical activities, either. Over the past couple of years, I've had ECG, TMT, and Echo tests done; they didn't show anything concerning. The only thing that came up was a grade I diastolic dysfunction on the Echo test, but my doctor said that was normal. I play cricket almost every weekend without any issues. Is having a heart rate between 53-60 something I should worry about? Do you think I should get it checked out or need any treatment?

Your resting heart rate of 53 to 60 beats per minute is considered to be on the lower side but can be normal for some individuals, especially those who are physically active like yourself. Since you do not experience any symptoms like shortness of breath, weakness, fainting, or exhaustion during physical activity, and your ECG, TMT, and Echo tests have not shown any significant abnormalities, there may not be a cause for concern. However, if you are still worried about your low heart rate, you can consult with your doctor to rule out any underlying issues. In the meantime, continue to stay active and monitor your heart rate during physical activities. If further evaluation is needed, your doctor may recommend additional tests or monitoring.

View allI'm feeling pretty anxious because I've had this heavy feeling in my chest since yesterday. I went for an ECG and it showed Tall T waves. Is this something I should be really worried about? I'm attaching my ECGs, and the second one was done an hour after the first. Could this possibly be hyperkalemia because I had a couple of coconut waters and eggs? Would appreciate any clarity on this.
Tall T waves in an ECG can be a sign of hyperkalemia, which is high potassium levels in the blood. It can be life-threatening if not treated promptly. To lower your potassium levels, you can take medications like Kayexalate to help remove excess potassium from your body. The usual dosage is 15-60 grams orally 1-4 times a day. Additionally, you should avoid high potassium foods like coconut water and bananas. It is important to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.
