I completed my medical degree in 2023, but honestly, my journey in healthcare started way before that. Since 2018, I’ve been actively involved in clinical practice—getting hands-on exposure across multiple departments like ENT, pediatrics, dermatology, ophthalmology, medicine, and emergency care. One of the most intense and defining phases of my training was working at a District Government Hospital for a full year during the COVID pandemic. It was chaotic, unpredictable, and exhausting—but it also grounded me in real-world medicine like no textbook ever could. Over time, I’ve worked in both OPD and IPD setups, handling everything from mild viral fevers to more stubborn, long-term conditions. These day-to-day experiences really built my base and taught me how to stay calm when things get hectic—and how to adjust fast when plans don’t go as expected. What I’ve learned most is that care isn't only about writing the right medicine. It’s about being fully there, listening properly, and making sure the person feels seen—not just treated. Alongside clinical work, I’ve also been exposed to preventive health, health education, and community outreach. These areas really matter to me because I believe real impact begins outside the hospital, with awareness and early intervention. My approach is always centered around clarity, empathy, and clinical logic—I like to make sure every patient knows exactly what’s going on and why we’re doing what we’re doing. I’ve always felt a pull towards general medicine and internal care, and honestly, I’m still learning every single day—each patient brings a new lesson. Medicine never really sits still, it keeps shifting, and I try to shift with it. Not just in terms of what I know, but also in how I listen and respond. For me, it’s always been about giving real care. Genuine, respectful, and the kind that actually helps a person heal—inside and out.

Ok don’t worry Here is something for you to let you know.

Your condition appears to be sinus tachycardia with mild hypertension, most likely worsened by stress/anxiety. While your rhythm is regular, your heart rate (124/min), BP (140/90), and chest discomfort mean you must get an ECG and medical review urgently to rule out a serious heart issue.

After emergency causes are excluded, your long-term management will involve:

Lifestyle & Diet: Low-salt DASH/Mediterranean diet, regular walking, stress reduction, good sleep.

Medications (doctor-guided): A beta-blocker (Metoprolol/Bisoprolol) or Ivabradine for HR control; ACE/ARB for BP; optional anxiolytic/SSRI if stress is the main trigger.

Supplements: Magnesium, Omega-3, Vitamin B12/D if deficient. Regular Monitoring: HR, BP, ECG, thyroid profile, blood tests. If chest pain, breathlessness, dizziness, or HR >130/min persists → seek ER care immediately

This requires in person consultation. Please visit nearest physician. Thank you.

I’m an MBBS graduate with a deep commitment to providing meaningful, patient-first care. My clinical training has given me a solid understanding of how to assess and manage a wide variety of health conditions—both common and complex. But beyond just clinical skills, I’ve always believed that the heart of medicine lies in listening. That’s what I try to bring into every consultation: not just treatment, but genuine attention to the person in front of me. I have gained experience across general medicine, paediatrics, emergency care and preventive health. I have treated patients of different age groups and backgrounds, which has helped shaped a more flexible, to diagnosis and management. Whether someone comes with a new symptom or a routine check-up, I aim to deliver evidence-based treatment, explained clearly and tailored to the lifestyle. I’m especially focused on making care accessible and comfortable. Too often, patients feel rushed or confused when they leave a doctor’s office—I try to do the opposite. Taking time to explain options, risks, or even just what’s going on in simple terms is something I take seriously. Communication, I think, is just as important as any prescription. I actively stay updated with current medical guidelines and research, and I’ve been exploring areas of holistic care and preventive medicine too. The more we can do to catch problems early—or better yet, avoid them—the better the outcome for everyone. I’ve seen how small lifestyle changes, when supported properly, can make a big difference to long-term health. There’s still a lot to learn, of course. I think every good doctor keeps learning. But every patient I see teaches me something new, and I carry those lessons forward—with honesty, empathy, and the intent to keep improving.

I'm Dr. Alan Reji, a general dentist with a deep-rooted passion for helping people achieve lasting oral health while making dental visits feel less intimidating. I graduated from Pushpagiri College of Dental Sciences (batch of 2018), and ever since, I've been committed to offering high-quality care that balances both advanced clinical knowledge and genuine compassion for my patients. Starting Dent To Smile here in Palakkad wasn’t just about opening a clinic—it was really about creating a space where people feel relaxed the moment they walk in. Dental care can feel cold or overly clinical, and I’ve always wanted to change that. So I focused on making it warm, easygoing, and centered completely around you. I mix new-age tech with some good old-fashioned values—really listening, explaining stuff without jargon, and making sure you feel involved, not just treated. From regular cleanings to fillings or even cosmetic work, I try my best to keep things smooth and stress-free. No hidden steps. No last-minute surprises. I have a strong interest in patient education and preventive dentistry. I genuinely believe most dental issues can be caught early—or even avoided—when patients are given the right information at the right time. That’s why I take time to talk, not just treat. Helping people understand why something’s happening is as important to me as treating what’s happening. At my practice, I’ve made it a point to stay current with the latest innovations—digital diagnostics, minimally invasive techniques, and smart scheduling that respects people’s time. I also try to make my services accessible and affordable, because good dental care shouldn’t be out of reach for anyone.

A heart rate of 124 with sinus tachycardia, chest discomfort, and high blood pressure suggests stress is worsening your cardiovascular strain. Lifestyle changes, stress management, and proper blood pressure control are important, but chest symptoms should never be ignored. Please consult a cardiologist for proper evaluation and treatment.

I’m a periodontist and academician with a strong clinical and teaching background. Over the last 4 years and 8 months, I’ve been actively involved in dental education, guiding students at multiple levels including dental hygienist, BDS, and MDS programs. Currently, I serve as a Reader at MMCDSR in Ambala, Haryana—a role that allows me to merge my academic passion with hands-on experience. Clinically, I’ve been practicing dentistry for the past 12 years. From routine procedures like scaling and root planing to more advanced cases involving grafts, biopsies, and implant surgeries. Honestly, I still find joy in doing a simple RCT when it’s needed. It’s not just about the procedure but making sure the patient feels comfortable and safe. Academically, I have 26 research publications to my credit. I’m on the editorial boards of the Archives of Dental Research and Journal of Dental Research and Oral Health, and I’ve spent a lot of time reviewing manuscripts—from case reports to meta-analyses and even book reviews. I was honored to receive the “Best Editor” award by Innovative Publications, and Athena Publications recognized me as an “excellent reviewer,” which honestly came as a bit of a surprise! In 2025, I had the opportunity to present a guest lecture in Italy on traumatic oral lesions. Sharing my work and learning from peers globally has been incredibly fulfilling. Outside academics and clinics, I’ve also worked in the pharmaceutical sector as a Drug Safety Associate for about 3 years, focusing on pharmacovigilance. That role really sharpened my attention to detail and deepened my understanding of drug interactions and adverse effects. My goal is to keep learning, and give every patient and student my absolute best.

Hello Satyabrata. Most likely, what you are experiencing are physical symptoms of anxiety. Symptoms of anxiety disorder include excessive worrying over trivial matters, feeling restless, easy irritability, muscle stiffness, palpitations, chest discomfort and excessive sweating. Sinus tachycardia is nothing but raised heart rate and is not indicative of any heart pathology per se and both increased heart rate and BP are manifestations of autonomic arousal that happens in anxiety disorders or depression with anxiety. I advise you to please stop checking your heart rate and BP repeatedly which would only worsen your anxiety. Kindly consult psychiatrist either online or in-person for detailed evaluation and discussing management options. Alternatively, you can start practising JPMR and deep breathing exercises from YouTube by certified professionals. Regards.

For a heart rate of 124 beats per minute with sinus tachycardia, it’s essential first to identify and address any underlying causes such as stress, anxiety, or recent increased physical activity, as these can elevate heart rate. Since you’re experiencing symptoms like chest discomfort, general debility, and weakness—it’s crucial to rule out any serious underlying cardiac issues. While sinus tachycardia itself often isn’t inherently dangerous, the persisting symptoms suggest a need for professional evaluation. With blood pressure at 140/90, it is on the higher end of normal, bordering on hypertension, which could contribute to symptoms or stress the cardiovascular system further. It could potentially be contributing to your palpitations, pain, and discomfort. Reducing stress is a priority since you’ve mentioned it as a contributing factor. Consider engaging in relaxation techniques such as deep breathing exercises, progressive muscle relaxation, or guided imagery to help calm your body’s response. Given the presence of headache, heaviness, and other discomforts, it’s also important to ensure you’re well-hydrated and haven’t consumed too much caffeine or other stimulants—these can exacerbate these symptoms. However, given the chest discomfort and associated symptoms like neck and shoulder pain, it would be prudent to seek immediate medical evaluation to rule out any cardiac events, like unstable angina or other serious conditions. The health provider might suggest an ECG or blood tests to clarify the cause. Always best to be safe and sure. If these symptoms persist or worsen, heading to an emergency department or urgent care clinic would provide timely and appropriate management. While waiting, prioritize rest and avoid strenuous activity until everything is sorted out medically.
