Brief Answer: Controlling stress is crucial. Detailed Answer: Hi, I have gone through your medical history and understood your concerns. It is normal to get heart heart as low as 80s, and it is higher when you are cleaning the hose or walking around the house or store or even when you are stressed. As you are reporting to have higher heart rates when stressed, it is crucial to control stress. Taking chamomile/valeriana tea can also help. With regards to using Metoprolol, you can use when your heart rates are higher than 150s. If you control stress, your heart rate will be lowered and less hurt will cause to your heart. Dr.Benard

I actually paid again and wanted to know a second opinion from a deffirent doc , u have gave me great advice but it's always good to know a second opinion . And I also was told once that waking around the house ur heart rate should be 70-80 and mine is greatly higher so that concerns me and I'm on feet mostly all day and it can be at 110 and not hurt my heart that is a little hard to understand so I wanted to hear from another doctor and see what they say . When u asked a question another doctor was reviewing in , but it ended up you answering it , I really appreciate your advice and thank you. I paid again and would appreciate another opinion . When I asked the question another doctor was reviewing it but it still went back to you . how can I be redirected to another cardiologist ! Thanks again
