I'm experiencing shortness of breath and a tight feeling in my chest, and I've also noticed some pain in my calf muscles when I climb stairs. My heart starts beating really fast too. I've already had an echo stress test and a chest X-ray, and everything came back normal. What could be causing these symptoms? I'm really confused about what's going on.

View allI've been dealing with headaches last week that lasted for two days, and my BP was at 240160. I got an MRIMRA done, and luckily everything was normal. Started taking Cilacar 10mg once a day, and from the next day, my BP seemed under control. But today, it suddenly spiked to 180120 this evening. I can only get in to see a doctor tomorrow. Should I consider taking half of the Cilacar 10mg now to help lower it?
As an emergency medicine you can take half tablet and visit Your doctor as soon as possible

I'm really concerned about my mom's health. She's 58 and has been dealing with high blood pressure for a while now and taking Tamson 40 for the past 8 years. In addition to that, for the last 3 years, she's been on Atorfit CV 10 for some heart problems. The doctor recommended she stay on Atorfit CV 10 for life, but I'm worried. Is taking this medicine for life safe for her? Shes still active and does all our housework daily. Would love some guidance on this!

I'm feeling really anxious because I've been having some breathlessness and gastric issues. I had an ECG done and it showed sinus tachycardia along with a small inferior wave. The report mentioned something about a borderline ECG and that an infarct can't be excluded. The doctor said the ECG's normal and there's nothing to worry about if the acidity improves. But I'm still a bit concerned. Should I be worried about the sinus tachycardia or the possibility of an infarct? Are there any other tests I should consider?
"Based on your ECG report showing sinus tachycardia with a small inferior wave, along with concerns about borderline ECG and the possibility of infarct not being excluded, it is important to further evaluate your cardiac health. Sinus tachycardia is often a normal response to various factors such as stress, anxiety, or caffeine intake. However, in some cases, it can be related to underlying heart conditions. To assess the situation further, I recommend additional tests such as a cardiac enzyme test to rule out any potential heart damage, a stress test to evaluate your heart's function under exertion, and possibly a coronary angiography to assess the blood flow to your heart. These tests will provide more information about your heart health and help determine if any further treatment or monitoring is necessary. In the meantime, managing your gastric symptoms and acidity is important. You can take medications like omeprazole for acidity relief. Additionally, lifestyle modifications such as avoiding spicy foods, eating smaller meals, and avoiding lying down after eating can help alleviate gastric issues. It's essential to follow up with your doctor for a comprehensive evaluation and to discuss the results of these additional tests."
