I'm experiencing some pain in the middle of my chest since last night. I think it might be related to stress and maybe even gastric issues. Should I be considering a heart checkup just to be safe, or is it okay to just monitor it for now?

It is important to rule out any potential heart issues, especially if you are experiencing chest pain. However, based on your description and suspicion of gastric-related pain due to work stress, you can start with an over-the-counter antacid like Tums (calcium carbonate) for relief. If the chest pain persists or worsens, it is advisable to consult a doctor for further evaluation and appropriate management.

I've been dealing with some issues since recovering from COVID back in April 2021. It's been a while, but about ten days after testing positive, I started feeling fine. However, from May 10th, I've had this chest painit happens especially when I move my upper body or when I'm lying down. There's this tenderness feeling right in the center and around my chest. I've been taking CCM tablets twice a day for a month now. I've done all sorts of tests like chest X-ray, ECG, chest CT scan, CBC, CRP, and D-dimer, and everything's come back normal. But despite all that, I'm still not getting good, deep sleep. Could you please offer some advice on what might be going on? I'm really looking for some guidance.

I've been taking Tazloc CT 40 for the past three weeks, but today when I checked my blood pressure in the evening, it was 150100. I'm really worried because it hasn't gone down. What could be going on?

Tazloc CT 40 contains Telmisartan 40mg and Chlorthalidone 12.5mg. If your blood pressure is still high despite taking Tazloc CT 40 for 3 weeks, you may need a higher dose or an additional medication. I recommend consulting your doctor to adjust your treatment plan.
