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?

View allI'm worried because last night my blood pressure was at 15790, so I took Amlong 2.5, but it didn't seem to work by the morning. I ended up taking a Nebicard 5mg without consulting my doctor, and by the evening, my BP came down to 12979. I'm a bit anxious about whether Nebicard 5mg is safe for me to use in such situations. Should I try Amlong 5mg instead, or is sticking with Nebicard better? I'm really unsure what to do and would appreciate some advice.
Nebicard 5 mg is advised SOS basis , rest continue all the medications as advised by the cardiologist..

I'm dealing with rheumatic heart disease and usually use Penicillin LA12, but it's currently unavailable. My doctor suggested I take Pendids 400 instead. Are there any concerns with switching to this medication at the age of 30, or is it safe to use in place of Penidura LA12?
Penicillin G Benzathine (Penidura LA12) is commonly used for the treatment of Rheumatic Heart Diseases. Since it is currently out of stock, Penicillin V (Pendids 400) can be a suitable alternative. The recommended dosage for Pendids 400 is usually 400 mg taken orally every 6 hours. It is important to follow your doctor's prescription and guidance for the proper treatment of your condition.

I'm curious if I should be concerned about my heart that starts pounding after I climb stairs, run, or even just fast walk. It also happens if I get up too quickly from lying down. I've done all the blood tests and an ECG as my doctor suggested, and everything came back normal. Is there something I should worry about?
An echo and ecg is advised.
