Question

I'm a 24-year-old woman weighing 37kg and my resting heart rate is usually between 120-130bpm, sometimes going up to 134bpm. This has been happening for the past 5 years but I don't have any other health issues or discomfort because of it. Should I be worried about this high heart rate? Could it be dangerous or lead to problems later? I really don't want surgery can this be managed with medicines instead? Does homeopathy work for something like this?

A consistently high resting heart rate (over 100 bpm) like yours (120-130 bpm) should be investigated by a doctor. While it might not be immediately dangerous, it could indicate an underlying issue that needs attention, and can potentially lead to complications later. Medications are often used to manage high heart rate, and homeopathy is not a reliable or scientifically proven treatment for such conditions, according to the Mayo Clinic and the British Heart Foundation.

Question

I'm really concerned about my health right now. My ECG showed sinus arrhythmia, but my other tests like the 2D echo and blood work came back normal. I have some heart blocks, but I've been trying to manage them with diet control. The issue is, I feel breathless whenever I walk, even though I don't have any other symptoms. Could you give me some advice on what steps I should take next?

Question

I've been having chest pain for a couple of days now, and it's pretty constant, especially when I'm just sitting or lying down. Plus, sometimes I get this pain in my shoulder and neck, and even occasionally a stomach ache. I'm 20, I don't smoke or drink, and I'm not overweight. Could this be something serious like a heart attack or angina? I'm kinda worried and not sure what to do.

Question

I'm a bit worried about my pulse rate being 130 when I wake up. Is that considered high? I tested positive for COVID-19 on August 5th, 2020, and thankfully, I tested negative by August 29th, 2020. Could this be related to my elevated pulse rate?
