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

View allI'm a 22-year-old guy and I've been having this mild chest pain on the left side for about 34 months now. It's not constant but happens occasionally, and it feels like my chest is getting a bit heavier. I notice my heartbeat sometimes during these episodes, and there's this weird sensation like something's there in my chest. The pain usually spreads to my left hand and shoulder, and my hand feels kind of numb for about 20 seconds before it all goes away. I went through an ECG, which showed an abnormal heartbeat, but the 2D Echo came out normal. I had COVID-19 around 56 months ago and took the prescribed medication. This chest pain started only after I recovered. Could it be related to my past COVID infection, or is there something else going on?

I've been experiencing a strange fluttering feeling just under my left breast since last night. I'm not sure if it's just gas or if I'm having heart palpitations, but it's really uncomfortable and kept me from sleeping well. Theres no pain, and my smart band shows my heart rate is 83 with a SPO2 of 96. Can you help me figure out what's going on?
The weird fluttering sensation under your left breast, without pain, could be due to various reasons such as heart palpitations, anxiety, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), or even gas trapped in the digestive system; given your normal heart rate and oxygen saturation levels, try relaxation techniques, avoid caffeine and heavy meals, and if the sensation persists or worsens, consider consulting a cardiologist

I've been dealing with anxiety disorder since the pandemic, and I'm 32 now. I don't have a family history of high blood pressure, but because of anxiety, my readings were 14090 and 13080. The doctor put me on medication almost a year ago, and now my BP is 11070 and 12080. I'm currently taking Revelol 25. Is it really necessary to stay on blood pressure meds forever? I've also managed to lose around 15 kgs. Would love your advice on this.
It's great to hear that you have been able to reduce your weight and that your blood pressure has improved with Revelol 25 (Metoprolol). It's important to continue taking your blood pressure medication as prescribed by your doctor, even if your blood pressure readings have improved. High blood pressure can be managed with lifestyle changes like weight loss, but sometimes medication is still necessary for long-term control. It's best to follow your doctor's advice regarding the duration of treatment with Revelol 25 to effectively manage your blood pressure and prevent any complications associated with hypertension.
