Question 1

I'm really worried about my friend who's been having some chest pain lately. She's also experiencing breathlessness, headaches at the back, and shoulder pain for the past few months. I'm wondering if this could be stress-related and what she can do to get some relief.

Accepted Answer

the symptoms of stress-induced chest pain can include breathlessness, headache, and shoulder pain. To help relieve these symptoms, your friend can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen for headache and muscle pain. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques such as deep breathing exercises or meditation can help reduce stress levels. It is also important for your friend to address the underlying stressors causing the chest pain, possibly through therapy or counseling. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

Question 2

I've been feeling some heaviness in my chest, not so much pain but more like there's something pressed against it. It's also affecting my sleep. My left shoulder and fingers feel a bit numb too, but it's more discomfort than pain. I used to smoke occasionally, like one or two cigarettes every few months, and I drink less than three days a month. All these chest discomforts have been around for about two years now. I saw a doctor back then and they said everything was fine, but it got worse with numbness and lightheadedness, and they said I had spondylosis. I've also had a shoulder injury since 2009, which I didn't really take care of. I'm trying to figure out if this is heart-related, gastric problems, or something due to my shoulder injury. It's really starting to affect me a lot. What could be causing these issues?

Question 3

I'm a bit concerned about what my recent echo showed. It mentioned something called Grade I diastolic dysfunction. Is this something normal that I shouldn't worry about or do I need to consider any treatment? Would really appreciate some guidance.

Accepted Answer

See a specialist for accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment.

I'm experiencing shortness of breath at night when I'm trying to sleep, and it sometimes happens while I'm eating too. Could this be related to fluid in my lungs? What could be causing this?

Yes it causes difficulty in breathing. ADvised chest x-ray and plueral fluid for ADA and culture and sensitivity.
