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?

View allI've been having this small tingly sensation in my upper chest since November 2016. It kinda feels like there's a blockage or something. Should I be worried about this, and what might it be?
The symptoms you are describing could be related to acid reflux or a nerve issue. To help with the tingling sensation, you can try taking Omeprazole (brand name Prilosec) 20mg once daily before breakfast to reduce stomach acid. Additionally, you can take Gabapentin (brand name Neurontin) 300mg three times a day to help with nerve-related symptoms. However, it is important to consult with a doctor for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

I've been having some issues lately. I'm a 33-year-old guy, and when I'm just resting, my heart sometimes races up to 120-130 beats per minute. I had an ECG, and they said it's sinus tachycardia, but my echocardiogram came back normal. Even though tests seem alright, I still get this fluttery feeling when my pulse is high. What could this be? Can you give me some advice on what might be going on?
Based on your symptoms of palpitations and feeling flurried when your pulse is high, it sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of anxiety or panic attacks. To help manage these symptoms, I recommend taking Propranolol (Inderal) 10-40mg as needed to help control your heart rate and reduce the feelings of flurriness. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques such as deep breathing exercises or mindfulness meditation may also be beneficial in managing your symptoms.

my mom had rheumatic heart disease and got a 17mm St Jude mechanical valve replaced in 2017 but now she has severe PAH and eosinophilia along with good LV function - should we be worried about how the valve is functioning or could these new issues be related to her past surgery
It's understandable to be concerned about your mom's health. While the St. Jude mechanical valve itself is generally reliable, severe PAH and eosinophilia can be related to the past rheumatic heart disease or the surgery
