I'm feeling a bit worried because there's this pain in my left side, near my chest. It almost feels like there's something sitting there. Should I be concerned about this?

View allI'm a bit concerned about the price of my uncle's medication. He's been using Stamlo T to control his BP, but it costs INR 100 per strip, which seems quite steep. I found another medicine, OZOTELAM, that reportedly has the same composition and only costs INR 20 per strip. Why is there such a big price difference between these meds if they have the same ingredients? Also, would it be safe for my uncle to switch to OZOTELAM since it's more affordable, and is the composition truly identical, or am I missing something? Looking forward to your advice.

I'm experiencing really bad pain in my right chest and arm for the past three days. I missed taking my Stamlo tablets around the time the pain started. Usually, I take Rantax and Stamlo regularly. Could missing my medication be causing this pain, or should I be worried about something else?

Ive noticed that my heart rate is really highlike around 96 to 108 when Im just sitting, and it shoots up to 110 to 120 once I start walking. I did have COVID about 10 months ago and got my ECG and echo tests done three months back, which came out normal. I also checked my cholesterol and thyroid levels, and they were fine. Should I be concerned about my heart rate, or is this something that will go back to normal over time?
Since your ECG and echo were normal 3 months back, it is less likely to be a serious issue. However, it is important to monitor your heart rate regularly and follow up with your healthcare provider. In the meantime, you can try taking a beta-blocker medication like Metoprolol at a low dose of 25mg once daily to help control your heart rate. Make sure to consult with your doctor before starting any new medication.
