Question 1

I'm experiencing this dull pain on the left side of my chest, kind of between the center of my left chest rib and going up towards my left shoulder. It's been happening for about 3 days now, and it gets worse when I lean forward or round my shoulders, but sometimes when I stretch my left shoulder back, it feels a bit better for a while. I dont think its acidity because I dont have issues with that, and Ive never had high blood pressure or heart problems. What could be causing this pain?

Accepted Answer

Based on your description, the dull pain you are experiencing on the left side of your chest that worsens with certain movements could be musculoskeletal in nature. It may be due to muscle strain or inflammation in the chest wall or shoulder muscles. I recommend taking a muscle relaxant such as **Cyclobenzaprine** 10mg twice a day for a few days to help relieve the pain and discomfort. Additionally, applying a topical pain relief gel containing **Diclofenac** to the affected area can also provide relief. Remember to avoid activities that worsen the pain and try to maintain good posture to prevent further strain. If the pain persists or worsens, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

Question 2

I recently had an ECG and felt really nervous during the test. The report mentioned "sinus tachycardia otherwise normal ECG." Should I be worried about this?

Accepted Answer

Sinus tachycardia is a condition where the heart beats faster than normal. In most cases, it is a normal response to stress, anxiety, or exercise. Since your ECG report shows sinus tachycardia but is otherwise normal, there is likely no cause for concern. However, if you continue to experience symptoms such as palpitations, dizziness, or chest pain, it would be advisable to follow up with your healthcare provider. No specific medication is needed for sinus tachycardia, but managing stress and anxiety can help.

Question 3

I'm currently taking Tazloc AM for my high blood pressure, but it still isn't in the normal range. I'm concerned and wondering what could be causing this. Could there be something I'm missing or should I be trying something else? It's a bit worrying since I expected the medication to help more.

Accepted Answer

For a 5-year-old child, the expected visual acuity is:

- 2030 to 2040 in each eye
- Able to identify the 2030 or 2040 line on the Snellen chart
- May not be able to read the 2020 line, which is the standard for adult vision

Keep in mind that every child develops at their own pace. Consult a pediatric ophthalmologist or optometrist for a comprehensive eye exam.
