I'm experiencing some pain in the area inside my ribs on both sides, especially under my left breast and there's some noticeable swelling too. It's been going on for a few days now. My breathing is generally normal, but sometimes it feels like I have to make an effort to take deeper breaths. I'm getting a bit worried about what might be causing this. Could you provide some advice on what might be happening?

View allI'm 20 and recently had two echocardiograms, one showing RVSP at 37 mmHg and the other at 29 mmHg. Both mentioned normal pulmonary artery and veins, and there's MVP with mild eccentric regurgitation. I'm worried about the possibility of pulmonary artery hypertension and whether it could be idiopathic. Could you help me understand what's going on?

I've been dealing with some stuff after getting COVID and it's kind of worrying me. So, I'm a 22-year-old guy, and after COVID I noticed my heart rate was going up. My doctor put me on Nebicard 2.5, and I've been taking it since November 2021. It's helped with slowing my heart rate, but now it's sometimes dropping below 60 bpm. At home, my blood pressure readings are like 109121 with 6075 and sometimes 11569. But whenever I go to the doctor's office, it spikes because I'm so nervous. All my ECG and echo tests look normal though. Is there a way for me to maybe reduce the dosage of Nebicard? I'm trying to figure out if that's something I should be doing or if I should keep going as is. Can you give me some advice on this?
Since your heart rate has been well controlled with Nebicard 2.5 and your ECG and echo results are normal, it is important to consult with your doctor before making any changes to your medication dosage. However, if you are looking to reduce the dosage, you can discuss with your doctor about switching to Nebicard 2.5 every other day or reducing the dosage to Nebicard 1.25 under their guidance. It is important to monitor your heart rate and blood pressure regularly while adjusting the dosage.
