Hi there. Thank you for posting your question. I will do my best to help you.

A resting pulse rate of 104 is, a bit high. Just on an empirical level I would avoid coffee and tea and use alcohol sensibly. I would also take regular exercise, avoid stress and eliminate all anxiety.

I also presume that you have your thyroid function checked.

I hope that I have answered your questions fully and been of some help. If you have anymore questions please contact me again anytime.
