I'm experiencing this pain on the left side of my chest right below the breast. It's a bit worrying because it gets slightly worse when I take a deep breath, and now I can't even sleep on my left side because it hurts too much. Could you let me know what's going on or what I should do about it?

It sounds like you may be experiencing musculoskeletal chest pain. You can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen (Advil) 400mg every 4-6 hours as needed for pain. Additionally, applying a warm compress to the area may help relax the muscles and reduce pain. Make sure to rest and avoid activities that worsen the pain. If the pain persists or worsens, please seek medical attention for further evaluation.

I'm really worried about my 72-year-old mom. She had an angioplasty last month and didn't have any pain after, but she's developed this really bad dry cough. She's on a bunch of meds: clopilet, ecosprin, prolomet, ivabrad, lipicure, pantocid, and piriton syrup, plus aldactone.

I've been thinking about getting an infrared heating panel, but I'm worried it might mess with my pacemaker because of the electromagnetic field. The company says it actually gives off less electromagnetic static than the sun, so it shouldn't be a problem. Should I be concerned about this?

Infrared heating panels typically emit low levels of electromagnetic fields, which are unlikely to interfere with a pacemaker. However, it is always best to consult with your cardiologist or healthcare provider for personalized advice. If you experience any unusual symptoms or concerns regarding your pacemaker while using the infrared heating panel, please seek medical attention promptly.
