I'm having this pain in my left leg that's been bothering me for about 15 days now. I'm 84 and have a history of heart issues, so I'm regularly on medications like Ecospirin, Amlokind for my blood pressure, and some others like Nitrolong and Losar, though I've recently stopped taking Renozex. The pain hits me when I walk. Can you help me figure out what's going on?

I'm taking some meds for high blood pressure, like METOLAR XR and TELMA 20, and I have a TMT test for a pre-employment check-up coming up. I'm a bit worried because I really can't afford to fail this test. Do I need to stop taking these meds on the day of the test, or will they affect the results? Can you let me know what I should do?

You can continue taking METOLAR XR and TELMA 20 on the day of your TMT test. These medications are commonly used for high blood pressure and should not significantly affect the results of the test. It is important to follow your regular dosage schedule. Good luck with your pre-employment medical test!"

I've been experiencing this cramp on the right side of my chest whenever I yawn. Its really painful for a bit, almost unbearable, but then it fades away. I'm trying to figure out what might be causing it and how I can prevent it. Also, is there anything I can do to lessen the pain quickly when it hits?

It sounds like you may be experiencing muscle spasms or tension in the chest area, possibly due to deep or frequent yawning. To ease the pain quickly, try gently stretching or massaging the area. If it continues or worsens, it's best to consult a healthcare provider to rule out any underlying issues.
