Based on your symptoms and previous tests, it is important to rule out any cardiac issues. However, since your previous cardiac tests were normal, your symptoms could be related to musculoskeletal issues or nerve compression. I recommend trying over-the-counter pain relief medication like acetaminophen or ibuprofen for the chest pain. Additionally, you can use a muscle relaxant like methocarbamol to help with the ache and numbness in your left hand. It is also advisable to consult with a neurologist for further evaluation and management of the numbness in your hand.

Question 3

I'm a 24-year-old woman with a weight of 37kg, and my heartbeat is constantly around 134bpm, even when I'm resting. For the last 5 years, my heart rate usually stays in the range of 120 to 130. I dont have any other health issues and havent felt any ...

Accepted Answer

Your heart rate of 134bpm is slightly elevated, but since you have been experiencing heart rates in the range of 120 to 130 bpm at rest for the past 5 years without any other symptoms, it may not necessarily indicate a serious issue. Surgery is not typically needed for a slightly elevated heart rate. Medications can be used to help control heart rate if necessary. In your case, a beta-blocker medication such as Metoprolol can be prescribed to help lower your heart rate and manage any symptoms you may be experiencing. The usual starting dose for Metoprolol is 25mg to be taken once daily. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional to determine the most appropriate treatment plan for you.

Question 5

I'm noticing my blood pressure is all over the place, swinging between 11179 and 13389 over the past week. Do you think I should be on medication for this? Also, my lipid profile shows total cholesterol at 202, triglycerides at 237, LDL at 158, and H...

Accepted Answer

Your blood pressure readings are fluctuating within a borderline range, and considering your lipid profile results, medication may be beneficial to manage both your blood pressure and cholesterol levels. I recommend starting with a combination medication like "Caduet" which contains Amlodipine 5mg and Atorvastatin 10mg. You can take 1 tablet daily in the evening. Additionally, incorporating lifestyle modifications such as a healthy diet, regular exercise, and stress management techniques can also help improve your overall cardiovascular health.
