I'm experiencing all the symptoms that feel like angina. I've had chest pain, shortness of breath when walking, pain in my left arm, and jaw pain. I already did an ECG and an echocardiogram, and they came back normal. Should I have more tests done?

View allI'm really concerned about my grandfather lately. He's been dealing with high blood pressure and hypertension, but now his feet are swelling and he's having chest pains too. He's currently taking gtn sorbitrate 2.6 cr twice a day and amlokind 10 mg, plus he uses a quikhale 250 sf inhaler. Could you help me understand why his feet might be swelling and suggest a medication that might help?
Swelling in the feet can be a common symptom in patients with high blood pressure and hypertension, especially in elderly individuals. It can be due to fluid retention caused by the heart's inability to pump blood effectively. In this case, considering your grandfather's age and existing conditions, it is important to address the underlying cause of the swelling. To help reduce the swelling in his feet, I recommend prescribing a diuretic medication such as Furosemide (Lasix) 20mg once daily. This medication will help to remove excess fluid from his body and alleviate the swelling in his feet. Additionally, given his chest pains, it is crucial to ensure that his heart health is well managed. I suggest adding Aspirin 81mg once daily to help reduce the risk of blood clots and relieve chest pain. Please consult with your grandfather's healthcare provider before starting any new medication to ensure it is safe and appropriate for his specific medical condition.

I'm feeling really anxious about this tight, squeezing sensation I've been having in my chest. I'm not sure whether it's actually my chest or something with my esophagus. It gets worse when I'm lying in bed and sometimes feels like heartburn. Do you have any tips or ideas about what might be going on? I can't help but worry.
