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.

View allI'm really worried because I've been experiencing chest pain whenever I'm angry or stressed. It feels like cramps, and it's as if my heart is full of pain. Along with that, I get dizzy and sometimes see things doubled. Even after I calm down, the pain can last for two to four hours. I'm not sure what's causing this, and honestly, it's pretty scary. Chest pain isn't something I want to ignore. Could you help me figure out why this is happening when I'm angry, stressed, or feeling down?
it might be due to anxiety, try consulting your bear by psychiatrist

I'm really concerned about my mom's health. She's 58 and has been dealing with high blood pressure for a while now and taking Tamson 40 for the past 8 years. In addition to that, for the last 3 years, she's been on Atorfit CV 10 for some heart problems. The doctor recommended she stay on Atorfit CV 10 for life, but I'm worried. Is taking this medicine for life safe for her? Shes still active and does all our housework daily. Would love some guidance on this!

I'm trying to get my blood pressure under control quickly. My cholesterol and creatinine levels are normal according to recent tests. I'm 6 feet tall, weigh 105 kg, and work from home. My BP reading was 14080. Could you suggest a tablet that would help control it?
Cholesterol is normal as per Lipid profile and creatinine is normal after test. My height is 6 feet and weight is 105 kg, work from home. BP showing: 14080. Please suggest me a tablet to get control. Based on your information, with a blood pressure reading of 14080, you can consider taking Amlodipine 5mg. It is a commonly prescribed medication for high blood pressure. However, it is important to consult with your doctor for proper evaluation and monitoring.
