I've noticed that when I'm just walking at a normal pace, my pulse rate sometimes jumps to around 130. I'm not doing any brisk walking, just regular walking. Is this something I should be concerned about? My ECG came out normal, but I'm still a bit worried about this pulse range of 110-130 when I'm just walking. Any thoughts?

A pulse rate of 110-130 during normal walking can be considered normal for some individuals, especially if you are not used to regular physical activity. Since you have already undergone an ECG and it was normal, it is a good sign that your heart is functioning well. However, it is always recommended to consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice.

View allSo, I've been keeping track of my heart rate and noticed that my resting heart rate is usually between 50 and 55 bpm. I'm a 20-year-old guy, relatively healthy, and Im about 6'2 tall, weighing 74 kg. When I do high-intensity interval training, my heart rate can spike up to 150-160 bpm. Is this normal for someone my age and build, or should I be concerned about these numbers?
A resting heart rate averaging around 50-55 bpm can be normal for a healthy 20-year-old male, especially if you are physically active or an athlete, as regular exercise often leads to a lower resting heart rate due to increased cardiovascular efficiency. Reaching a heart rate of 150-160 bpm during High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) is also within normal ranges for vigorous exercise. However, if you experience symptoms such as dizziness, fatigue, or fainting, it would be advisable to consult with a healthcare provider to ensure there are no underlying issues. Otherwise, your heart rate appears consistent with a healthy, active lifestyle.

I'm a bit worried after reading my 2D echo report. It mentions mild tricuspid regurgitation and mild pulmonary hypertension with PASP by TR jet measuring 38 mmHg. Does this mean I definitely have pulmonary hypertension? And should I be concerned about it getting worse over time, like becoming moderate or even severe?
Mild pulmonary hypertension is indicated by a PASP (Pulmonary Artery Systolic Pressure) of 36-50 mmHg. This means that there is increased pressure in the pulmonary arteries. To manage mild pulmonary hypertension, your doctor may recommend lifestyle changes and medications such as sildenafil (Revatio) or tadalafil (Adcirca) to help lower the pressure in the pulmonary arteries and improve blood flow. It is possible for pulmonary hypertension to progress to moderate or severe levels in the future, but with proper management and regular follow-ups with your healthcare provider, the progression can be slowed down or even prevented. Regular monitoring and adherence to treatment plans are crucial in managing pulmonary hypertension.

I've noticed that almost every time I shout or scream while at church, I start feeling really lightheaded and dizzy, almost like I might pass out. It's like I have to close my eyes and hold onto something just to stay steady. Is this normal, or could it be a sign of something more? What's going on with my body when this happens?
The symptoms of lightheadedness, dizziness, and feeling like passing out after shouting or screaming at church may be related to a vasovagal response, a common condition where the nervous system overreacts to stress or excitement, causing a temporary drop in blood pressure and heart rate, and it's recommended to consult a md medicine to rule out other potential causes, such as dehydration, anxiety, or underlying heart conditions.
