I'm 25, and I've been dealing with this on-and-off pain in my left arm for about 15-20 days now. It was sharp and shooting at first, so I thought it might be gastritis, but now the pain's more dull and constant. Lately, for about a week, I've been feeling breathless sometimes, and there's some nausea too. I get tired pretty quick and now there's this annoying discomfort in my upper back. Should I be looking into any specific tests or is there something else I should be considering?

I'm really worried because I was just sitting and out of nowhere, I felt a shock in my chest. My legs suddenly went cold, and I started vomiting something that tasted like acid. I have all my reports with me. Does this sound like something serious?

Sudden sensations of a shock in the heart, cold legs, and vomiting acid are concerning symptoms that should be promptly evaluated by a healthcare provider. While your recent 2D echo, TMT, and chest X-ray are normal, the acute nature of these symptoms, especially the feeling of a heart shock and cold legs, could indicate a serious condition such as a cardiac event or a severe gastrointestinal issue like a stomach acid reflux or esophageal spasm. It is crucial to seek immediate medical attention to rule out any potentially serious conditions. Your healthcare provider may recommend additional diagnostic tests, such as an electrocardiogram (ECG) if not already done, blood tests, or an upper gastrointestinal endoscopy to determine the cause of your symptoms.

I'm a 37-year-old male who has been taking Asomex 2.5 mg for my high blood pressure, but I'm out of it now since I'm in Qatar and can't find it here. A doctor here prescribed me Norvasc 5 mg instead. I'm a bit worried and wanted to ask if it's safe for me to switch to this medication. Can you give me some advice?

Yes, Norvasc 5 MG is safe for you to take as a substitute for Asomex 2.5 mg. Both medications contain the same active ingredient, Amlodipine, which is used to treat high blood pressure. The recommended dosage of Norvasc 5 MG for hypertension is usually 5-10 mg once daily. Please follow your doctor's instructions regarding the dosage and administration of Norvasc 5 MG for your high blood pressure.
