I'm experiencing some chest pain on the left side whenever I take a deep breath. The pain also seems to radiate to my back.

View allI'm really worried about my dad. He's had a stroke and a bypass in the past, and his heart rate usually hangs around 55 to 60. I've heard about Chymoral AP and Myoril for his lower back pain, but I'm concerned if it's safe for him to take because of his heart condition. Could you please guide me on this?
Chymoral AP and Myoril can be risky for your father due to his history of stroke and bypass surgery, as well as his low heart rate. Chymoral AP contains Trypsin, Chymotrypsin, and Paracetamol which can increase the risk of bleeding, especially in patients with a history of stroke. Myoril contains Thiocolchicoside which can cause muscle weakness and dizziness, potentially increasing the risk of falls in someone with a history of stroke. Given his low heart rate, both medications can further lower the heart rate and blood pressure, leading to complications. It is important to consult with his healthcare provider to find a safer alternative for his lower back pain.

I'm a bit worried because I've been diabetic for 35 years and have managed it pretty well until now, but recently, I've started experiencing this sinking feeling and episodes of fainting and dizziness. I got an ECG done and it shows some blockage. Could this be related to my diabetes, and what should I do next?
Given your 35-year history of well-managed diabetes, the recent symptoms of sinking feeling, fainting, and dizziness, along with ECG indications of blockage, suggest a potential cardiovascular issue, such as coronary artery disease or cardiac autonomic neuropathy, so consult a cardiologist to discuss further testing, like angiography or stress tests, and develop a plan to address the blockage and manage cardiovascular risk factors.

My mom has a 28 mm hole in her heart. Can the immune system heal this naturally, or is surgery necessary? I'm also curious whether treatments like Ayurveda might help. What do you suggest?
A 28 mm hole in the heart, likely referring to a congenital defect such as an atrial septal defect (ASD) or a ventricular septal defect (VSD), typically requires medical intervention. This size of a defect is unlikely to close on its own and can lead to serious complications if left untreated. Surgery or a catheter-based procedure is usually required to close such a large defect. Ayurveda or other alternative therapies are not effective for treating structural heart defects. It's crucial to consult with a cardiologist to discuss the appropriate treatment options for your mother
