I had this sudden pain on the left side of my chest last night, and it kind of felt like there was pressure in my throat too. It went away after about 15-30 minutes, but theres still a bit of chest pain lingering. Any idea what might be going on? Im really worried.

Based on your description, it is possible that you may have experienced a muscle strain or inflammation in your chest wall, known as costochondritis. This condition can cause sharp, stabbing pain in the chest that may worsen with movement or deep breathing. It is usually not serious and can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen (e.g. Advil) taken at a dose of 400mg every 4-6 hours as needed for pain. However, if the pain persists or worsens, it is important to seek medical attention to rule out more serious conditions such as a heart problem.

I'm really worried because my doctor said I have IRBBB on my ECG and that it's nothing to be concerned about. I'm 40 now and was fit until my early 30s. Will this affect my future life? I'm feeling really tense about it.

Having incomplete right bundle branch block (IRBBB) on your ECG is usually not a cause for concern, especially if your doctor has reassured you about it. It is often considered a benign finding. However, if you are feeling tense and anxious about it, it's important to address your concerns. To help manage your anxiety, you can consider relaxation techniques, exercise, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. If your anxiety persists, you may also speak to your doctor about it. In terms of your future life, IRBBB itself typically does not have a significant impact on your overall health or longevity. As long as you continue to follow a healthy lifestyle and attend regular check-ups with your doctor, you should be able to maintain your well-being. If you have any further concerns or symptoms, it's always best to discuss them with your healthcare provider for personalized advice and guidance.

Can I take ursolic 300 along with roseday gold 10 and teli cm 25? Is it safe to use all these medicines together? I'm a little worried about possible interactions or side effects. What do you think?

When considering taking Ursolic 300 (ursodeoxycholic acid) along with Roseday Gold 10 (a combination of rosuvastatin, aspirin, and clopidogrel) and Teli CM 25 (a combination of telmisartan and chlorthalidone), it is important to consult your healthcare provider to ensure safety and appropriateness. These medications have different mechanisms of action and can interact in various ways. While Ursolic 300 is used for liver-related issues, Roseday Gold addresses cardiovascular risk factors, and Teli CM is used for hypertension. Your doctor will need to consider your overall health, liver and kidney function, and any potential interactions or side effects. Therefore, always consult with your healthcare provider before combining these medications to ensure they are safe for your specific health conditions
