Question 4

I've been having left chest pain for the past two weeks and also feel this pulsating sensation in my stomach. I'm worried because I have high blood pressure too. Initially, I was thinking of getting a 2D echo for my chest pain, but now I'm wondering ...

Accepted Answer

A 2D echocardiogram is primarily used to evaluate the heart, so it may not provide detailed information about the pulsating sensation in your stomach. For your stomach symptoms, a CT scan of the abdomen may be more appropriate to assess the abdominal aorta and other structures in the abdomen. Given your history of high blood pressure and chest pain, it is crucial to rule out any potential issues with the abdominal aorta. I recommend consulting with your healthcare provider to determine the best course of action and to discuss the need for further imaging studies such as a CT scan of the abdomen.

Accepted Answer

It sounds like you may be experiencing a condition known as angina, which is chest pain or discomfort caused by reduced blood flow to your heart muscle. It is important to seek medical attention immediately to rule out any serious underlying heart conditions. I recommend taking a low dose of aspirin (75-150mg) immediately, as it can help reduce the risk of heart attack. Additionally, you should take a sublingual nitroglycerin tablet to help relieve the chest pain. It is important to rest and avoid any strenuous activity until you can see a healthcare professional for further evaluation and treatment.

Question 6

I had a peg of whiskey around 7 PM after not drinking for a while, and now I'm due to take my metocard xl 25. I'm a bit concerned about whether it's safe to take it right now. Can you advise on this?

Accepted Answer

It is not recommended to take metocard xl 25 (Metoprolol) after consuming alcohol, as it can increase the risk of side effects such as dizziness, lightheadedness, and fainting. It is best to wait at least 24 hours after consuming alcohol before taking metocard xl 25.
