Question 1

I'm really worried because I started with heart pain, and then the next day, I got this really bad pain in my left upper abdomen. I had an ECG done, and they didn't find anything unusual, and my stomach scan was clear too. But I keep getting these chest pains, mostly at night, and sometimes there's this pain in my shoulder blade that only lasts a few minutes. I'm too scared to tell my parents about all this. Can you tell me what's going on?

Accepted Answer

based on your symptoms of chest pain, left upper abdominal pain, and shoulder blade pain, along with normal ECG and abdominal scan results, it is important to consider the possibility of acid reflux or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) as a potential cause of your symptoms. I recommend taking a proton pump inhibitor such as Esomeprazole (brand name Nexium) 40mg once daily before breakfast for at least 2 weeks to see if it helps alleviate your symptoms. Additionally, you can take antacids like Tums as needed for immediate relief of chest pain. It is also important to avoid spicy, fatty, and acidic foods, as well as eating at least 2-3 hours before bedtime to help reduce acid reflux symptoms. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with a doctor for further evaluation and management.

Question 2

I've been dealing with high bp since 2017 and have been taking medscinod and nebicard. Everything was stable until I gained around 10kgs after getting married, and now my bp is often spiking to 140150 and 9095. I've started incorporating some physical activity and diet control into my routine. Do you think I should consider changing my medications along with these lifestyle changes?

Accepted Answer

visit dermatologist for evaluation and appropriate management

Question 3

I'm a bit confused about the results of my TMT test. I didn't feel any chest pain during the test, and it said negative for inducible Ischaemia. But then my doctor mentioned the test was mildly positive. Does this mean I need to consider getting an angiogram?

Accepted Answer
