One of my friends, she's 24, and her heart rate is always between 100 and 105 beats per minute. Is this something normal, or should we be worried about it?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
A resting heart rate of 100-105 beats per minute in a 24-year-old individual may be considered higher than normal. It is recommended to monitor her heart rate regularly and consult a doctor for further evaluation. In some cases, medications such as Metoprolol (25-50mg) may be prescribed to help lower the heart rate if necessary.

View allI've been having this neck pain near my carotid pulse for a few days now, and it's like this sharp pain that comes and goes. My carotid pulse feels like it's beating strongly and sometimes fast. The first time it started was when I almost got mad at my boss. I also noticed my neck felt tight, and my tie was a bit snug. The next day, I checked my blood pressure at a clinic, and it was normal. I'm worried about what's going on. Do you think this is something I should be concerned about?
ecg ,cardiac markers and cardiologist opinion is advised.

I've been noticing that whenever I exercise for a while, my left carotid artery starts pulsating really strongly and it actually hurts a bit. I'm a 16-year-old female, and I recently got my bloodwork done and saw both a cardiologist and a lung specialist. They said everything's fine, except I've got costochondritis. I also tend to feel a little lightheaded, and I get a few headaches each week. Could this be genetic or related to something else? I'm just a bit worried and looking for some advice on what might be going on.
Maintain a healthy weight as per your BMI - Keep yourself well hydrated (Aim to drink 3-4 litersday) - Have a healthy and well balanced diet - Monitor your BP when you get lightheaded If the condition persists or worsens visit the cardiologist so that you can be examined and undergo investigations such as ECHO, thyroid profile, etc to find the underlying cause and have it treated accordingly.

We've been giving our mom Axcer 90 mg along with other meds like Atocor, Ecospirin, and stuff for her thyroid for about two months now. We're wondering if we could stop the Axcer since we've been on it for a while and honestly, it's just really expensive. We can't keep up with the cost. Is there a cheaper alternative that works just as well? Would love to hear your advice on this.
no do not stop it without doctors advice,as you say you are having affordability issues,ask your doctor for alternate medication
