View allI'm 53 years old and I noticed that my resting heart rate is consistently between 110 and 120. When I walk, it shoots up to 150. Is this normal, or should I be concerned? Are there any medications you would recommend to help regulate my heart rate to a normal level?
A resting heart rate of 110 to 120 beats per minute is higher than the normal range, and a heart rate of 150+ when walking is also elevated. This could be a sign of tachycardia, which may have various underlying causes. It is important to consult a doctor for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

This medication is a beta-blocker that can help lower heart rate and blood pressure. It is important to consult a doctor before starting any new medication.

But since yesterday, he's having trouble breathing and can't sleep at night. What should we do?
