Brief Answer:
one time hear rate of 105 is completely normal

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for using healthcaremagic.

I read your query and understand your concerns.

First of all I like to inform you that isolated heart rate of 105 is completely normal and can occur to any healthy person lasting for minutes or sometimes for hours.
If it remains high despite 15 minutes of rest and no obvious stress or anything, there is need to evaluate cause.

In addition to heart ailments variety of conditions can cause increased heart ranging from mild anemia to serious conditions. One of the common cause in middle age women is thyroid issues and that needs investigations.

Being a 50 year young women I like to emphasize that it is recommended to undergo cardiac evaluation every two three years which becomes more important in light of strong positive family history.


I hope this assists you.
If you have any more queries feel free to contact me.
Thanks and regards

Brief Answer:
It mean there is need to manage stress without any delay

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for reverting back to me.

With new information I feel stress is the cause behind such elevation of heart rate.
I hope you are trying to manage the stress but I like to put some general points to manage stress which we often ignore.

I am writing down few of the strategies that will help you in management of stress leading to reduction of cardiac risk.

1. Diet: Ensure intake of adequate quantity of fiber. 2 servings of vegetable salad and 2 servings of fruits (One preferable citrus fruit). proper diet does miracles and rejuvenates. Orange is good source of anti-oxidants. Avoid junk food and fast food especially pizza, burgers and excessive sweets

2. Ensure adequate water intake: Recommended intake of water is 2 to 3 liter a day. Insufficient intake of water could be a contributing factor in causation of symptoms.

3. Early morning Exercise: Brisk walking for 30 minutes at a stretch preferably in garden will be very helpful. Walking is the best exercise, it also promotes release of Endorphins( naturally occuring pain killers released in brain) which causes mood elevation and generalized feeling of well being. Make it a daily habit and incorporate in your lifestyle.

4. Avoid tea/coffee/ nicotine and alcoholic beverages: If at all you want to drink something, drink fresh lime water. It is very much refreshing.

5. Start your day with a glass of Lemon water with 2 spoons of honey added. have a good breakfast.

6. Don't take work so seriously: We all have the feeling to excel in our respective fields and don't spend adequate time with our own self trying to understand our own needs.
Spend time with your family and friends.

7. While working take frequent regular breaks: Taking regular breaks will not waste the time, but it will definitely increase the productivity, concentration and reasoning. Take break for 5 minutes every 30 minutes.
Close your eyes and rotate the eye balls for couple of minutes.

8. Avoid late night socialization

9. Avoid starring for longer time at the computer screen or TV for longer time

10. Steam inhalation before going to sleep will be very refreshing.

Wishing you a very happy and healthy life

Hope I am able to answer your concerns.

It's hard to make life style changes one grew with but I'm a odd one to my family I've struggled my whole life to over unhealthy life styles with my family. Great thing is now than died ...sounds terrible, I know, I would take that back to have them here but in retrospect, it's my opportunity to change or follow my true self n healthy life style. however, such lifestyles have been tattooed on me and hard to erase but I'm trying.
In that regardes what should I ask my family doctor to exam of me and how often monthly or 6 months or yearly

i think i'm ok.
i'm just so sad.
i am sad about letting go up my ex husband not because he has bad or unhealthy habits but he so doesnt understand me and what i am trying to do to be healthy and he has differnet goals than i but we grew since 24 hurts to say cause i tried again to reconnect and build again but it's not going my way...just like a women i guess..bums me cause i love him..but then maybe i'm being selish with my dreams or wants...

Brief Answer:
THanks

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX
Thanks for updating me about your efforts and struggles.

Rather than going in detail I like to emphasize that if you are not able to make the healthy life style for complete week opt for five days a week. That will be considered good compromise between strengths and weakness of our immediate environment of life.

We all are subjected to some of the drawbacks in our life (Sometime overwhelming) and fighting trough them brings our true self. I am glad to know your determination and motivation to achieve that goal.

I hope you will start from today rather than tomorrow.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.

Yes, I figure one step, one day at a time. Five days no coffee,tea, soda pop,alcohol, nicotine is doable for me then on the weekends I can treat myself to my favorite unhealthy things like pizza,alcohol,and nicotine.
I don't smoke cigs much during the week anyways and coffee not more than a few cups.
Anyways thanks for advice

Brief Answer:
Yes it will be easy to manage

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for reverting back to me.

As I can see you are determined but taking long term decision is really difficult sometime when we are surrounded by all kind of unhealthy things around us.

One day commitment policy is good in the sense as it works with little motivation and can be extended for long time. In true sense even with long term commitment we commit for one day and make it consistent. Over time it becomes part of ourself/nature and than we call it habit.

So ultimately with one day commitment we need to thrive for the habit formation so it does not take any longer to think about it.

I will strongly go against nicotine as does not help in any sense and have lot of short term as well as long term serious effects.

Regarding alcohol my sincere advice will be to limit to standard packs on any day when you indulge with alcohol on weekends.

I hope this makes a sense.
Thanks and regards

I having cigs down to two Marlboro light packs a week where one pack goes all week and the second for the weekend when I indulge in alcohol which is 12oz between friday-sunday. I'm trying to quit cigs but difficult on weekends when I drink but if I reduce alcohol on weekends to 6oz for sure that will reduce urge for cigs Then I'd be down to one pack of cigs a week.
I have to add more exercise too but getting motivated be on walking my puppy is hard cause I don't have a set routine but if I can get a routine going then surely that has helped before when I quit smoking cigs so it will help curve my urge for cigs even more.
Coffee in mornings also cause me to have urge to have cigs so during the week I limit having coffee to once or twice a in mornings during the week.
I hate think part of giving up cigs did so before for five years and started back cause a stress factor that appeared in my life kind like now with many family deaths and family structure changes grrrr much harder but yes,im determined cause I know I'll feel better and will have more energy.
Thank for your supporting advice.

Brief Answer:
Cutting cigarettes are of paramount importance

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX
Thanks for following me with minute details.

As we can see you are having good control for alcohol intake (only weekend) but in regard to cigarettes there is need to be made more efforts. One pack per week is good compromise but as I commented above it will be more than ideal if you can stop it altogether.

The reason for recommending is obvious ill effects in addition to increase level of anxiety and stress. There is common myth that smoking helps in stress but infact it works in contrary direction. By smoking we get distracted from core stressful issues for sometime but it does not work for long time.

It will be better if you can involve in some creative activities that sooth our mind. One of such activities I advice is home gardening. Whatever the space is available grow some green vegetables and fruits so yyou will need to buy less from market and will enjoy fresh. As you know it is difficult to procure these items, if you grow at home, it will be extra advantage to cultivate them at free space.

Having routine helps as you do not need to make extra effort to make things happening. Having a puppet is great advantage as you can have a good walk along with him.
Make a target of 150-200 minutes per week and try to make it in early morning as this is the most rewarding time in regard to physical exercise and well being.

I hope I am able to make some sensible advice.
Thanks and regards

Yes. Thank you. I always feel better after a long walk of 20minute or more with my puppy.
I know best to stop cigs totally, I always feel yak after having my first cig with coffee or a alcohol beverage then my body adjusts and a nice alert or relaxing feeling over comes me on weekends. But I can tell my body rejects cigs since I don't smoke during the week it's like my body say hey what you doing and i get upset tummy and dizzy head after first cig,coffe,or drink so best to do something else relaxing which is healthier.
Walks yes. But something that is mind releasing and occupies my hands ...gardening nice but a lot of work...I like painting, should pick that up again or crocheting enjoy that.
Thanks again.

Brief Answer:
Painting is excellent option

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX
Thanks for coming out with excellent option of painting.

As you might be knowing like gardening painting is excellent option to occupy our brain and to get rid from unnecessary yet harmful things like smoking. Painting is the thing which need a great concntration and so wards of all unnecessary thoughts for a time. In addition it gives a great pleasure as internally human is creative and want to see his/her creation in external form.

I hope you will carryb forward for painting weekends and will send some of creations to all your well wishers including me.
Thanks and regards
