Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi, I m 55 and was a long distance runner in my earlier years. I have a resting heart rate of 37 bpm (used to be 48) and have been periodically waking at night with tingling in my arms/falling asleep. Curious to learn if these two issues can be symptomatic of something greater. My colesterol is high at 280 and I have early signs of RA.
