I'm experiencing some chest heaviness and a bit of pain, and it's making it harder to catch my breath at times. I've been smoking about 10 to 12 cigarettes a day. Should I be concerned about this, and what could be causing these symptoms?

I'm really concerned about my dad's heart health. He had a mild heart attack back in 1995 but never went through any angiography. He seemed fine up until December 2021, when a routine check-up revealed he has aortic stenosis. It's a bit confusing because he doesn't have any symptoms like breathlessness, and his cholesterol levels are normal. He's been on Ecosprin Gold 10 since 2014, but now another cardiologist is suggesting he switches to Ecosprin AV 7510. I'm just wondering, is that change in medication okay? I really need some expert advice on this.

Yes its ok no problem you can use ecospirin av ,follow your doctors advice

I've been dealing with this sharp pain in the upper left side of my chest for about 56 days now, and it's kind of freaking me out. It just hits out of nowhere, especially when I cough or change position in bed. What could this be, and should I be worried?

It sounds like you may be experiencing musculoskeletal chest pain, which can be caused by inflammation of the muscles or tendons in the chest wall. To help relieve the pain, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Advil) as needed. Additionally, applying a warm compress to the area may also help relax the muscles and reduce pain. Make sure to rest and avoid activities that worsen the pain. If the pain persists or worsens, it's important to see a doctor for further evaluation and management.
