I'm a 25-year-old female and I've been having some chest discomfort along with feeling breathless. I'm also experiencing chills and sweating. Is this something normal, or should I be worried?

These symptoms could be indicative of a variety of conditions, including anxiety, panic attacks, asthma, or even a heart-related issue. It is important to seek medical attention for a proper evaluation and diagnosis. In the meantime, you can take a pain reliever like acetaminophen and try to relax in a comfortable position.

View allI've been having some concerns after getting the Covishield vaccine a few days ago. I've been experiencing chest pain and a feeling of tightness, along with mild difficulty breathing when I'm lying down. There's also a lot of mucus coming from my mouth. It feels like I might have a cold, considering I've had COVID before. Should I be worried about possible chest congestion or could it be something else?
take one mucolytic for 5 days twice a day

Can drinking lots of water lower blood pressure?
Drinking water has role in blood pressure maintenance. When a person is dehydrated BP drops initially but later on kidneys reabsorbs more water rather than excreting in urine and vasopressin is released which constricts the blood vessels, both together can increase blood pressure. Hence, every person should drink at least 3 liters of water in a day to prevent dehydration and to maintain BP. One should also note that excess water intake should also be avoided which can put more stress on heart and cause fluid retention in the body.

I'm trying to understand my echo report and I'm a bit concerned. It says my cardiac size is normal with some terms like Lvdd being 5.4 cm, La at 3.8 cm, and mild lvh. Then it mentions good lv systolic function and an EF range of 55 to 60. Plus, normal right systolic function and no abnormal wall motion. Should I be worried about anything here? Just looking for some clarity on what all this means for my heart health.
Your echo report indicates that you have Cardiac Hypertrophy with normal left ventricular size (LVDD 5.4 cm) and mild left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH). Your left atrium is also within normal size (LA 3.8 cm). The report shows good left ventricular systolic function with an ejection fraction (EF) of 55-60%. Additionally, your right ventricular systolic function is normal with no abnormal wall motion. Based on the information provided, you may consider medications such as: - ACE Inhibitors like Lisinopril 10mg once daily to help reduce the workload on the heart and manage blood pressure. - Beta-blockers like Metoprolol 25mg twice daily to help lower blood pressure and reduce the heart's workload. - Diuretics like Furosemide 40mg once daily to help reduce fluid buildup in the body and manage symptoms of heart failure. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
