What does a bpm of 106 mean on an ECG test? Should I be really worried about this? Everything else seems to be in the normal range.
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
A bpm of 106 in an ECG test indicates a heart rate of 106 beats per minute. This heart rate is slightly above the normal range of 60-100 beats per minute, but it may not necessarily be a big concern, especially if other parameters on the ECG are within normal range. However, it is important to monitor your heart rate and consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management if needed.

View allI'm a 25-year-old woman with a BMI of 22.5, and I've been having episodes of tachycardia from time to time. My resting heart rate is usually in the 90s to low 100s, and I don't have any personal or family history of heart disease or drug use. The most recent episode happened yesterday, and I finally got an EKG. It showed sinus tachycardia with a short PR of 100. I work in an outpatient clinic, and a coworker did the EKG for me. Should I be worried about this?

I'm thinking about trying EECP therapy for my dad. He had a heart attack two years ago and he's got a stent in one artery, while the other two are clogged with 90% and 80% blockages. I've heard a lot of positive things about this natural bypass therapy, and some hospitals do offer it. But I'm just not sure about the results. Is it really effective? Or would angioplasty be the better option here?
EECP therapy can be a beneficial option for your father's condition. It is a non-invasive treatment that can help improve blood flow to the heart muscle by promoting the development of collateral circulation. However, in the case of significant blockages like 90% and 80% in his arteries, angioplasty may be a more suitable option to directly address the blockages. For the blockages your father has, angioplasty with stent placement may be recommended to open up the blocked arteries and improve blood flow to the heart. This procedure can help reduce symptoms and lower the risk of future heart-related complications. I recommend discussing these treatment options with your father's cardiologist to determine the most appropriate course of action based on his individual condition and medical history.

I'm a bit worried because my husband recently had his routine health check-up and his blood pressure was at 11070 mmHg with a pulse rate of 66 bpm. He's only 30 years old, so I'm concerned that these numbers might be too low. Could you suggest why this might be happening and what we could do about it?
Low blood pressure and pulse rate in a young individual can be due to various reasons such as dehydration, nutritional deficiencies, heart conditions, or being physically fit. It is important to rule out any underlying medical conditions. In the meantime, he can increase his salt and fluid intake to help raise his blood pressure. He should also ensure he is well-hydrated and consider consuming caffeine in moderation to help increase his pulse rate. If symptoms persist, he should consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.
