I've read that a normal resting heart rate is between 60-100, but mine usually stays around 53-55. I'm 45 years old, and I've been on blood pressure medication for 25 years now. At the moment, I'm taking Metoprolol 25 in the morning and Telday 40 at night. My ECG results were normal, but my echocardiogram showed normal results with reduced diastolic compliance. Should I be worried about my heart rate?

Given your age and medical history, it may not be a cause for immediate concern, especially if your ECG was normal and your echo showed normal findings with reduced diastolic compliance. To address your worries about your heart rate, it would be advisable to consult with your doctor to discuss the possibility of adjusting your medication dosage. In the meantime, continue monitoring your heart rate regularly and report any significant changes or symptoms to your healthcare provider. If you continue to experience concerns about your heart rate, your doctor may consider adjusting your metoprolol dosage or exploring other treatment options. It's important to follow up with your healthcare provider for personalized recommendations based on your individual health status. Take care and stay healthy.

I'm a bit worried because I have anemia and my ESR levels are raised. I generally do slow-paced walking covering an average of 45 km, but my resting heart rate seems to be in the range of 48 to 65. My last two ECG readings were 53 and 48. I'm not experiencing any fainting spells or dizziness, but is this okay and considered normal?
Your resting heart rate of 48-65 beats per minute is within the normal range for adults, especially for individuals who engage in regular physical activity like slow pace walking. Anemia and raised ESR (Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate) may indicate an underlying inflammatory condition. Since you do not experience faint spells or dizziness, it is reassuring. However, it is important to further investigate the cause of anemia and raised ESR. I recommend consulting a doctor for a complete evaluation and appropriate management.

I'm really worried about my dad. He had an angioplasty in June, and after that, he started having blood clots in his hand and thighs. The doctor thought it might be because of high dosage meds, so they reduced his mg, but now he's also been having blood coming from his mouth quite often. Can you help me figure out what might be going on?
The blood coming from your father's mouth could be due to a side effect of the medications he is taking. One common side effect of blood thinners, which are often prescribed after angioplasty to prevent blood clots, is bleeding. I would recommend consulting with the doctor again to discuss this new symptom. It is important to monitor his medication dosage and ensure it is appropriate for him. Additionally, the doctor may consider adjusting the dosage or switching to a different medication to help reduce the risk of bleeding from the mouth.
