My daughter 26 years old normally has pulse rate above 100. Her health is otherwise normal. What should I do?
Female | 26
It is important to consult with a physician in order to determine the cause of your daughter's high pulse rate. It could be due to an underlying medical condition, such as an overactive thyroid, or it could be due to lifestyle factors, such as stress or dehydration. The doctor can evaluate her and recommend any necessary treatment. In the meantime, it is important to make sure she is engaging in regular physical activity, eating a balanced diet, and getting enough rest.

Hello, my doctor prescribed me high blood pressure medication for my insomnia and I seen somewhere where it’s dangerous to take high blood pressure medicine without actually having it And I’m wondering if it will effect me
Female | 19
High bp medication is usually not prescribed if your bp is normal. The medication lowers bp and if its already normal, it can cause your bp to drop too low, which can lead to complications such as dizziness or fainting. In some cases medications used to treat high bp may also have sedative or calming effects, which is why your doctor may have prescribed it for your insomnia.

Bp range is 90 160 is need to consult doctor it's emergency condition or not
Female | 59
A blood pressure reading between 90/60 and 160/100 is usually fine. However, if your BP stays above 160/100, it's important to see a cardiologist. High blood pressure can be dangerous and may lead to serious health issues like heart disease, even without symptoms. Eating healthy and quitting bad habits can help manage hypertension, but it's best to consult a doctor for personalized advice.

My father diagnosed with major blocks in heart artery .....Need 2nd opinion about bypass surgery...Also Is it possible to cure by pranayam?
Hello Vishal, Bypass surgery (CABG) is the choice of treatment in case of your father. Kindly consult a cardiologist who on complete evaluation of the patient will suggest you the entire line of treatment. Yoga is good to keep a person fit but there is no documentation of pranayam curing major heart blockage. It is advised to consult a cardiologist and take a wise decision. Hope my answer helps you.

I was advised hyperactivity medicines, however the pain never stopped. I met a Gastroenterologist, who confirmed no issues. Than I met a cardiologist who suggested for 2D echo, did it, it was normal. Then I did sonography, stage 1 fatty liver observed. Than did angiography, no blockages observed, however the blood flow is slow. Now I am left with nothing... The chest pain still persists, post angiography I also feel numbness in my left arm. Don't know what to do. I was recommended following medicines post angiography... strovas Dilzem sr Pan 40mg I have already started following a proper diet. Avoiding junk food, extra salt, oil etc. This has started affecting my work and i am unable to deviate from the thought of the pain
Chest pain can have various causes, even if initial reports appear normal. Potential reasons include:
Musculoskeletal Issues: Strained muscles or costochondritis may cause chest discomfort.
Gastrointestinal Conditions: Acid reflux or gastritis may mimic cardiac pain.
Psychological Factors: Stress and anxiety can contribute to chest pain.
Respiratory Issues:Conditions like pleurisy or inflammation of lung lining.
Nerve Irritation:Conditions affecting nerves in the chest may cause pain.
If chest pain persists or worsens, consult with a cardiologist for a thorough evaluation to rule out serious conditions.

Hello sir, I am suffering from chest muscle tightness from past 2 years. It can be felt more while lying on bed. I release the stiffness by moving my neck and head on opposite side of stiffness. It again happens after few minutes. I have consulted ample of doctors, some say due to posture, some say due to gastritis etc. Sir please suggest to me what needs to be done as it is hampering my day to day activities.
Male | 26
Based on your description, it is likely that you are experiencing musculoskeletal chest pain. This can be caused by poor posture or muscle strain. However, since you have already consulted with multiple doctors and the symptoms continue to persist, it is recommended that you visit a specialist such as a cardiologist or pulmonologist to rule out any underlying cardiovascular or respiratory conditions.
