Question 1

I had COVID back in May 2021 and was in quarantine. Things were normal until late August when I started having a cold and got treated with antibiotics. After finishing the antibiotics, I noticed this slight pain on the left side of my chest while breathing deeply, as well as pain in my left hand. It's not sharp anymore, just a constant feeling. My chest X-ray came back normal, but the ECG showed Sinus Tachycardia, and sometimes my heart rate spikes. I'm 26, recently quit smoking, and I'm worried if this could be something like COPD or lung cancer. I can hold my breath for over a minute and can exhale in about 15 seconds, so I'm not breathless. But I'm really anxious, my hands and feet get sweaty, and there's this skin issue on my lower foot which makes me think about hyperthyroidism. Could you help me understand what's going on? I'm seriously worried.

Accepted Answer

no its neither copd or cancer

Question 2

I've been noticing that my resting pulse rate is around 90-100, and sometimes it even goes above 100. I often feel these strong heart palpitations. I had an echo done, and everything seemed normal, and my blood pressure is fine too. I'm 24 and weigh 67 kg. People say it might be due to anxiety, and yeah, I do worry about my career and family like everyone else. I don't eat junk food, and I drink about 3-4 cups of tea a day max. I'm just really trying to figure out what's going on with me. Could it really be just anxiety, or should I be looking into something else?

_Penile Lesions: Possible Causes_

Small, painless lesions on the inner skin of the penis can be caused by:

1. _Fordyce spots_: Small, harmless bumps caused by sebaceous gland blockage.
2. _Pearly penile papules_: Small, benign growths common in men.
3. _Allergic reactions_: Contact dermatitis from soaps, condoms, or other products.
4. _Skin conditions_: Eczema, psoriasis, or dermatitis.
5. _STIs_: Certain sexually transmitted infections (STIs) can cause penile lesions.

Consult a doctor or a dermatologist for a proper diagnosis and guidance.

Question 3

I did an ECG, echo, chest X-ray, and TMT about 2 months ago, and thankfully all the tests came back normal. Since then, Ive managed to get my blood pressure down to 12480. I'm 30 years old, a non-smoker, and I dont drink alcohol. Could you give me some advice on when I should consider repeating these tests?

Accepted Answer

Hi, since your previous tests were normal and you have controlled your blood pressure well, you can repeat the ECG, echo, chest x-ray, and TMT tests every 1-2 years for routine monitoring.

I'm a 21-year-old guy and I've been taking Concor Cor 2.5 mg every day for the past couple of months to help with chest pain, not for high blood pressure. I'm feeling better now and was wondering how I can stop taking it safely without causing any problems? I'd really appreciate your advice!
