Question 1

Got some concerns that've been bothering me. I had palpitations on Feb 1st when I was at work and the doctor checked out my reports like ECG, 2DEcho, TMT, and said it's not a heart problem. But since yesterday, I've had a fever and my right ankle's swollen and painful. I went out on my bike today, and just after starting, felt like I had some breathing trouble. Should I be looking into any more tests? I read somewhere that swollen ankles and fever might cause heart issues. What do you think?

Question 3

I'm worried because I've been having chest pain for the past couple of days. It's not constant but comes and goes, and there's this burning sensation with it. Plus, my whole body just hurts. What could this mean?

Accepted Answer

Overall the possibility of a heart problem seems to be less but without doing any objective test, a heart problem can not be conclusively ruled out especially because now a days heart diseases have become common in young people. So please meet a cardiologist as early as possible and get yourself properly

Question 4

I've been noticing that when I'm lying down, I can hear my heartbeat clearly, and it's even visible through my shirt and in my stomach area. At night, while trying to fall asleep, I sometimes feel a sense of fear in my chest and stomach. What could b...

Accepted Answer

These symptoms could be due to anxiety or stress, which can cause palpitations (feeling of heart beating fast or irregularly), visible pulsations in the abdomen, and a sensation of fear or unease in the chest and stomach. It is important to manage stress and anxiety through relaxation techniques, exercise, and possibly counseling. Additionally, you can take a beta-blocker like Propranolol 20mg to help reduce palpitations and visible pulsations. Make sure to consult with a healthcare provider for proper evaluation and management.

Question 5

I'm a 27-year-old guy and I've been having some mild chest pain for about six months now. I exercise daily, eat healthy, and I don't smoke. Could this be something serious or is it just anxiety or something else? Should I be concerned?

Accepted Answer

It's generally safe to use Moxikind (moxifloxacin) for cold and Monocef (cefixime) for cough together. However, consider the following:

_Phensedyl (cough syrup)_: Avoid using Phensedyl with Moxikind and Monocef without consulting your doctor, as it may interact with antibiotics.

_Consult your pediatrician_ before administering these medications together, especially if your child has any underlying medical conditions or is taking other medications.

Also, ensure you:

1. Complete the full course of antibiotics as prescribed.
2. Follow the recommended dosage and administration instructions.
3. Monitor your child's condition and report any adverse reactions or concerns to your pediatrician.

Question 6

I'm having this weird pinching chest pain right after I fall asleep. I got two ECGs, one in January and another in February, to check it out, and both were normal. I also did a TMT in February, and that came back negative too. I've tried taking anti-...

Accepted Answer

It sounds like you may be experiencing acid reflux or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) causing your chest pain. In this case, you can try taking a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) like omeprazole 20mg once daily before breakfast for at least 2 weeks. Additionally, you can take an antacid like Gaviscon after meals and at bedtime for immediate relief. Make sure to avoid spicy and fatty foods, eat smaller meals, and avoid lying down right after eating. If symptoms persist, you may need further evaluation by a gastroenterologist.
