I'm dealing with this strange chest pain situation on my left side. It's kind of like a sharp electric shock that lasts for about 12 seconds, then it's just gone. The spot where it happens is almost always the same, and it's been randomly showing up and disappearing for the last 10 days. Could you help me figure out what this might be?

This type of chest pain could be indicative of a condition called costochondritis, which is inflammation of the cartilage that connects a rib to the breastbone. To help alleviate the pain, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen (Advil) 400mg to 800mg every 6 hours as needed for pain relief. It is important to rest and avoid activities that worsen the pain. If the pain persists or worsens, it is recommended to follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

View allI'm feeling a bit worried and could use some advice. My cardiologist recently told me to take Ecosprin AV 7520 every evening. Meanwhile, my diabetologist has put me on Ator 10 at night along with Metsmall 500 SR and Semi Reclimet. Is it safe to be on both Atocor and Ecosprin at the same time? Is there something I should be looking out for or any side effects I should be aware of?
There is no harm in taking both Ator 10 (Atorvastatin) and Ecosprin AV 7520 (Aspirin + Atorvastatin) together as prescribed by your cardiologist and diabetologist. Ator 10 is a brand name for Atorvastatin, which is a statin used to lower cholesterol levels, while Ecosprin AV 7520 contains Aspirin and Atorvastatin, which helps in preventing blood clots and reducing cholesterol. Just make sure to follow the prescribed dosages: Ecosprin AV 7520 daily in the evening and Ator 10 at night along with Metsmall 500 SR and Semi Reclimet.

I've noticed my heart rate is pretty high, around 110 bpm, even though all my tests like blood work, TMT, and the ECG are normal, with just sinus tachycardia showing up. I don't have any issues when I'm running, but the high heart rate still worries me. I'm really anxious about my heart, and even my blood pressure is normal. Could anxiety be causing this, or is there something else I should consider?
You may be experiencing anxiety-related tachycardia. In such cases, it is important to address the underlying anxiety to help reduce the heart rate. You can try taking propranolol (brand name: Inderal) as needed to help lower your heart rate and reduce anxiety symptoms. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques such as deep breathing exercises or mindfulness meditation may also be beneficial in managing your anxiety and heart rate.

I'm 25 and I've been experiencing some strange symptoms after meals. My heart feels like it's racing, and my ears get really hot. When I checked my blood pressure, it was around 170100. Do you know what might be causing this and what steps I should take?
This could be a sign of uncontrolled hypertension. I recommend you start taking Amlodipine (brand name Norvasc) 5mg once daily to help lower your blood pressure. Additionally, you should make lifestyle changes such as reducing salt intake, exercising regularly, and managing stress. It is important to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and monitoring.
