I'm experiencing this left hand cramp and chest pain that comes and goes, and it's been joined by this left arm pain for about eight days now. I went for an ECG yesterday, and they said everything looked normal, though my heart rate was up a bitapparently due to stress. I actually had a similar hand cramp about a month ago. Should I be concerned or look into other causes for these symptoms?

Based on your symptoms of left hand cramp, chest pain, and left arm pain, along with a normal ECG result and slightly elevated heart rate possibly due to stress, it is important to consider muscle relaxants and pain relievers. You can take acetaminophen 500mg for pain relief and muscle relaxation. Additionally, you can use a muscle relaxant like cyclobenzaprine 5mg to help with the hand cramp. It is important to take these medications as directed on the packaging or as advised by a healthcare professional

View allI've been dealing with chest pain for quite a while now, and I just found out from an ECG that everything's normal. The pain isn't in one specific spot; sometimes it's on the left side, right side, or even lower down. Im starting to think it might be muscle-related. Is there something specific I can take for muscle pain? On top of that, I've noticed I get short of breath easily. I've been really inactive the past few months, barely moving at all, so Im wondering if this lack of exercise could be causing my stamina to drop and making me feel breathless. Could that be the case?
take tablet zerodol and tablet pantoprazole

I'm a bit worried about my recent 2D echocardiogram report. All the measurements seem to be in range and my EF is at 62, which I guess is normal? But the report mentions a mild MR on the mitral valve and mild PR on the pulmonary valve. I sometimes feel dizzy when I go outside, and my neurologist mentioned it might be cardiac neurosis. I can't shake the feeling that something might be wrong with my heart. Can you help me understand what's really going on?
In 2d echocardiogram report, all measurements are within range and EF is 62%. However, the report shows mild mitral regurgitation (MR) and mild pulmonary regurgitation (PR). You mentioned feeling dizziness sometimes when you go outside, and a neurologist suggested it may be a cardiac neurosis issue. It's understandable to be concerned about the findings in the report. The mild MR and PR in the echocardiogram report are common findings and may not necessarily be the cause of your symptoms. In your case, where the EF is normal and other measurements are within range, these mild valve issues may not be the primary reason for your dizziness. To address your symptoms of dizziness, it would be important to consider other factors such as hydration, blood pressure, inner ear issues, or anxiety. However, if you are still concerned about the mild valve issues, you can discuss with your cardiologist about monitoring them periodically. For your dizziness, you can try to stay hydrated, avoid sudden position changes, and practice relaxation techniques. If the symptoms persist or worsen, further evaluation may be needed. I hope this information helps alleviate some of your concerns.

I had MVR surgery back in 2019 and my doctor prescribed warfarin Acitrom to maintain my PTINR around 2.5-3. I'm wondering if it's okay for me to get the covid vaccine now or if I should wait for more research to come out. If I do go ahead with it, what kind of precautions should I keep in mind?
