I'm experiencing some heaviness in my chest area and I'm having trouble breathing. I've got a headache, my heartbeat feels faster than usual, and I just can't seem to catch my breath properly. I'm really worried about what's going on. Can you help figure out what this could be?

You may be experiencing symptoms of a heart condition or respiratory issue. It is important to seek medical attention immediately. In the meantime, you can take Aspirin 325mg for possible heart-related symptoms and use an inhaler like Ventolin (albuterol) for breathing difficulties. Remember to take deep breaths and try to stay calm while waiting for medical help.

I'm really worried about my dad's health. He's been dealing with diabetes for about 20 years now, and he also has hypertension and CKD. His creatinine level is at 2.1. We're considering giving him GTN Sorbitrate CR 2.6 for his angina, but I'm concerned about any potential side effects it might have on his kidney and liver. Could this possibly lead to an increase in his creatinine levels? I'm just not sure if it's safe for him given his conditions.

See a specialist for accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment.

I'm dealing with high blood pressure and tachycardia, and my heart rate is pretty fast. I've been taking Hypen 121.5 mg daily for my BP and Indever 40 mg twice a day. Lately, I've started taking Indever regularly, and I've noticed that whenever I talk loudly or shout, I get chest pain. This has been happening for the last four months, even with the medication. Is this something I should be worried about?
