I'm a footballer and have been experiencing mild pain in my chest and back occasionally. All tests including ECG and echo came back normal when they were done in July, but the pain hasn't really stopped and sticks around for a while. Should I consider repeating these tests? How regularly do they need to be done for someone with my level of physical activity?

Since you are experiencing mild pain in your chest and back, especially during physical activity as a footballer, it is important to monitor your heart health regularly. Considering your active lifestyle, it is recommended to repeat the ECG and echo tests annually to ensure there are no changes in your heart function. This regular monitoring will help in early detection of any potential issues and ensure your heart is healthy enough to support your extensive training.

View allI'm having this recurring pain in my chest, like near my heart. It comes and goes on its own. Should I be worried about this?
It is important to get evaluated by a healthcare professional to determine the exact cause of your chest pain. However, based on your description, it could be related to conditions such as angina or acid reflux. For temporary relief of chest pain, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen. If the pain persists or worsens, please seek medical attention for further evaluation and management.

Hey, I accidentally took two MetpureXL25 tablets this morning instead of just one. Is that something I need to worry about or should I just continue with my day as usual?
It is important to be cautious with this medication as it can lower your blood pressure and heart rate significantly. You should monitor your blood pressure and heart rate closely for the next few hours. If you experience any symptoms such as dizziness, lightheadedness, fainting, or shortness of breath, please seek medical attention immediately. In case of overdose, treatment may include supportive measures and monitoring of vital signs. It is advisable to contact a healthcare professional or poison control center for further guidance. Please be more careful with your medication regimen in the future to avoid such incidents.

I'm worried about my dad's blood pressure while he's here in the UK with me for another month. He's been taking Zaart for it, but his readings are ranging from 165 to 200. Should he be taking 50mg instead of 25mg?
