Question 1

I'm a bit concerned because my ECG and chest X-ray both came back normal, but my blood pressure is slightly high. I've been having trouble breathing at night when I'm lying down. Could this be related to stress or anxiety?

Accepted Answer

yes, it is due to anxiety issues

Question 2

I'm dealing with some slight chest pain and noticed it happens when I'm not breathing fully, like my breath feels kind of incomplete. It's been going on for the past month and sometimes can last the whole day. I'm worried and not sure what's going on. Could you give me some advice on this?

Accepted Answer

take tab pantop 40mg for 3 days

Question 3

I've been having chest pain when I walk or go up stairs, so I got a CT angiography done. The report shows I have myocardial bridging of the proximal LAD, about 1.8 cm long. The doctor said not to worry and that no treatment is needed, but the pain on my left side isn't going away. Can you help me understand what this all means and what I should do next?

Accepted Answer

Since you are experiencing persistent chest pain despite the reassurance from your doctor, it may be helpful to consider medication to help manage your symptoms. You can try taking a calcium channel blocker such as Diltiazem (Cardizem) at a low dose initially, under the guidance of your doctor. The usual starting dose for Diltiazem is 120 mg to 180 mg per day, taken in divided doses. This medication can help relax the smooth muscle in the walls of your coronary arteries and improve blood flow to the heart muscle, potentially reducing chest pain associated with your condition. However, please consult with your doctor before starting any new medication.

I'm dealing with a bit of high cholesterol, and my doctor recommended taking Roseday 5 mg daily. But right now, I'm in Malaysia and can't seem to find Roseday here. Do you think it's okay for me to take Crestor 5 mg instead until I can get my hands on Roseday? Would that be safe?

yes u can take crestor 5mg , both the medications composition is the same...
