I'm a bit worried about my mom. She's been dealing with Diabetes and Hypertension for about 12 years now, and shes been taking medications to keep them in check. Since last November, she started on Ecosprin AV 7520 daily. I'm kind of concerned about if there are any side effects from taking it every day and whether its necessary to have Aspirin free intervals?

I've been noticing this tingling sensation on the left side below my chest and sometimes at my back. It's not constant but usually happens when I'm lying down and occasionally when I'm sitting. I checked my blood pressure, which was 12381, and when I'm relaxed my pulse rate is around 60, but sometimes it drops to 55. Do you think this is something to be concerned about?
Tingling sensation on the left side below the chest and at the back could be due to nerve compression or irritation. Since your blood pressure and pulse rate are within normal limits, it is less likely to be related to a cardiovascular issue. However, it is important to rule out any musculoskeletal or neurological causes. I recommend taking a muscle relaxant like Flexeril (cyclobenzaprine) 5mg to help with any muscle tension that may be contributing to the tingling sensation. Additionally, you can take an anti-inflammatory medication like ibuprofen 400mg to reduce any inflammation that may be affecting the nerves. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management."

I'm feeling some chest and back pain that seems to move around my upper body, and it's been going on for about 4-5 months now. I've done a bunch of tests like an endoscopy, throat scope, and both ECG and a 2D echo, and they all came back normal. I'm just curious, could this be related to something like variant angina? And do painkillers even help with angina pain?
based on your symptoms and normal test results, it is possible that you may be experiencing variant angina, also known as Prinzmetal's angina. Variant angina is a type of chest pain caused by coronary artery spasm, which can lead to temporary narrowing or constriction of the coronary arteries. For variant angina, painkillers like nitroglycerin can help relieve the chest pain by relaxing and dilating the coronary arteries, improving blood flow to the heart muscle. Nitroglycerin is commonly prescribed for angina and is available in various forms such as sublingual tablets or spray. The usual dosage is 0.3 to 0.6 mg sublingually as needed for chest pain. It is important to follow up with a cardiologist for further evaluation and management of your symptoms.
