My dad's pulse oximeter reading is 97 and his pulse rate is at 110. Is the pulse rate considered normal? I'm a bit concerned and would appreciate some advice.
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
a pulse rate of 110 beats per minute is slightly elevated but can still be considered normal, especially if your father is not experiencing any other symptoms. However, it would be best to monitor his pulse rate regularly and consult with a healthcare professional if you have any concerns. As for the pulse oximeter reading of 97%, this indicates that his blood oxygen saturation level is within the normal range. There is generally no need to worry about this reading. If your father continues to have a pulse rate of 110 or if you notice any other concerning symptoms, please consult with a healthcare provider for further evaluation.

View allI've been experiencing these heart palpitations and it's really concerning me. My heart also feels painful and I'm feeling quite shaky and weak. Can you tell me what might be causing this and what I should do?
Sir, the treatment for palpitations and chest pain due to weakness can vary depending on the underlying cause. However, for symptomatic relief, you can take Tab Metoprolol 25mg twice daily to help control your heart rate and reduce palpitations. Additionally, you can take Tab Aspirin 75mg once daily to help with chest pain. It is important to stay hydrated, rest, and avoid caffeine and stress. If symptoms persist or worsen, please seek medical attention promptly.

I've been dealing with this chest pain on the right side for about 34 months now. It's not constant but pops up every 10 to 15 days and only lasts for about 5 to 10 seconds. It's starting to make me a bit nervous, and I was wondering if there are any tests you think I should get done?
It is important to investigate the cause of your chest pain. I recommend you to undergo an ECG (Electrocardiogram) to check your heart's electrical activity, and an X-ray or CT scan of the chest to rule out any structural issues. Additionally, a blood test to check for cardiac enzymes and lipid profile may also be beneficial in assessing your heart health.

I'm taking Navicard 5 mg regularly, as prescribed by my doctor. But recently, I've been having some mild chest pain, so I saw a cardiologist who prescribed Angizem CD 90 for my morning dose. He didnt mention anything about the Navicard though. Now I'm wondering, should I be taking both medications, or just one of them?
yes u can use it, visit ur physician for apprpropriate managent
