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.

I'm 42 and my doctor just recently told me I have high blood pressure, so I've been taking TetanH and it's helped to get it under control. I'm thinking about trying intermittent fasting because I've heard it might help with lowering blood pressure too. Do you think that's a good idea for me? Also, I'm curious if there are any side effects from using TetanH over a long period. Can you give me some advice on this?

It's great to hear that your blood pressure is now under control with Tetan-H. Intermittent fasting can potentially help lower blood pressure, but it's essential to approach it cautiously, especially when you're on medication. Before starting any new diet regimen, it's important to discuss it with your doctor to ensure it's safe given your specific health condition. Regarding Tetan-H, which contains telmisartan and hydrochlorothiazide, it can have some long-term side effects like any medication. These may include dizziness, increased uric acid levels, or kidney function changes. Close monitoring by your doctor can help manage any potential side effects.

I've been having shortness of breath and recently got an Echo done, which said there was mild LVH. A couple of days ago, I noticed a little blood when I spit, and my doctor recommended I take Augmentin 625 and Montair LC for a week. I've been on them for two days now, but I noticed bright red blood when I spit again today, with no mucus color. I also have GERD and have had this issue for more than six years. Could the medication or the GERD be causing this, or should I be worried about something more serious?

I'm experiencing these weird palpitations, but my heart rhythm and pulse seem normal. They tend to happen after I exercise. Is this something I should be worried about?
