I'm a 75-year-old man and I'm feeling a bit worried. Back in 1977, I had a T-wave inversion and recently, I developed postural hypotension. My cardiologist checked my ECG, 2D echo, and TMT, and everything seemed normal except for the old T-wave inversion in V4, V5, and V6. He prescribed me to take Deplatt CV once a day, which I've been doing since May 2017. Lately, I've come across some pretty scary stuff about clopidogrel on the internet, and it has me feeling anxious. Could you please let me know if it's really safe for me?

View allI'm experiencing some light pain on the left side, just below the neck, kind of near the chest area, and it started today. When I'm using the stairs, I'm finding it harder to breathe. What could be causing this? Should I be concerned?
It sounds like you may be experiencing musculoskeletal pain in your chest area, possibly due to strain or muscle tension. To help with the pain and discomfort, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen (Tylenol) 500mg every 6 hours as needed. Additionally, you can apply a topical analgesic cream like diclofenac (Voltaren) gel to the affected area. Make sure to rest, avoid strenuous activities, and apply heat or ice packs to the area for relief. If the pain persists or worsens, please seek medical attention for further evaluation.

I woke up this morning and suddenly started sweating and felt really dizzy, but it only lasted for about 5 minutes. Could you help me understand what might have caused this?
Sudden sweating and dizziness upon waking, lasting only 5 minutes, could be due to various factors, including a temporary drop in blood pressure, low blood sugar, anxiety or panic attack, dehydration, or even a minor vasovagal episode, but if such episodes recur or worsen, consult a doctor to rule out underlying conditions.
