I had a TMT test in February 2019 and an Echo in April 2020, and both were normal, but I'm still experiencing a lot of symptoms. I've been having chest discomfort that moves to my throat and arm for over two years now. I get ECGs done twice every month since 2019, and they only show sinus tachycardia. How long should I trust the normal TMT results? Since it's not COVID causing this, I keep wondering if I should repeat the TMT and Echo. What do you think?

View allI was recently prescribed concor cor 2.5 for my blood pressure, which is 13090, and I have a heart rate of 113. Since I'm always on the go and sometimes end up skipping breakfast, I'm wondering if it's okay to take this medication on an empty stomach. Is that safe, or should I make sure to eat something first?
Concor Cor 2.5 is a brand name for Bisoprolol, which is a beta-blocker used to treat high blood pressure and heart conditions. It is generally recommended to take Bisoprolol with food to help with absorption and reduce the risk of stomach upset. If you often skip breakfast, you can take your dose with a light snack or a small meal to minimize any potential stomach discomfort. It is important to take the medication as prescribed by your doctor.

I've been having some discomfort in my left arm, mostly around the shoulder joint and it also reaches down to my wrist. It's not super intense, but the pain is noticeable. Occasionally, I also experience a chest pain on the left side that comes and goes, but it usually feels better after I burp a few times. Does anyone know if this could be a heart issue, just gastric pain, or maybe something else? I did get a general health check-up last year, including heart tests like ECG, chest X-ray, and treadmill test, and everything was normal back then. Any thoughts on what this might be?

I'm having some chest pain on the left side and I've been needing to urinate 4 to 5 times a day. Plus, my stomach feels uneasy. What's going on with me? Can you give me some advice?
Chest pain on the left side, frequent urination, and stomach discomfort can be symptoms of various conditions. It's important to consider both cardiac and non-cardiac causes. Given the chest pain, its essential to rule out any heart-related issues first. Since you're experiencing frequent urination and stomach discomfort, potential causes could include gastrointestinal issues like gastritis or a urinary tract infection (UTI). I recommend consulting your healthcare provider for a thorough evaluation, which may include an ECG, blood tests, urine analysis, and potentially an abdominal ultrasound. This will help determine the underlying cause and guide appropriate treatment.
