I've noticed that when I'm running, my heart rate is pretty slow at about 59 bpm, but when I'm just resting, it shoots up to somewhere between 80 to 90 bpm. Is that normal? It seems a bit odd to me and I'm starting to get worried. Could it mean something's up with my heart health?

A slow heart rate during exercise can sometimes be a sign of good cardiovascular fitness. However, if you are experiencing symptoms such as dizziness, lightheadedness, or chest pain, it's important to consult a healthcare professional. For a faster heart rate at rest, you may consider taking a beta-blocker medication like Metoprolol. The usual dosage for Metoprolol is 25-100mg once or twice daily, as prescribed by your doctor

I'm feeling really anxious about this tight, squeezing sensation I've been having in my chest. I'm not sure whether it's actually my chest or something with my esophagus. It gets worse when I'm lying in bed and sometimes feels like heartburn. Do you have any tips or ideas about what might be going on? I can't help but worry.

A 3.5 mm VSD with medium RCC prolapse in a 21-year-old may require surgery, depending on the severity of symptoms and the potential for future complications. If surgery is needed, it could be either open-heart surgery or a minimally invasive procedure. The scar location and size would vary depending on the surgical approach.
