I'm having some trouble with leg pain when I try to climb stairs, even just to the first floor. The pain seems to be worse in my calf muscle and I end up feeling really tired afterward.

View allI've been dealing with this chest pain on the right side for about 34 months now. It's not constant but pops up every 10 to 15 days and only lasts for about 5 to 10 seconds. It's starting to make me a bit nervous, and I was wondering if there are any tests you think I should get done?
It is important to investigate the cause of your chest pain. I recommend you to undergo an ECG (Electrocardiogram) to check your heart's electrical activity, and an X-ray or CT scan of the chest to rule out any structural issues. Additionally, a blood test to check for cardiac enzymes and lipid profile may also be beneficial in assessing your heart health.

I'm really worried about my dad's health. He's been dealing with diabetes for about 20 years now, and he also has hypertension and CKD. His creatinine level is at 2.1. We're considering giving him GTN Sorbitrate CR 2.6 for his angina, but I'm concerned about any potential side effects it might have on his kidney and liver. Could this possibly lead to an increase in his creatinine levels? I'm just not sure if it's safe for him given his conditions.

I'm really worried about my 82-year-old grandmother. She's got this shrunk valve, and apparently, only a small part is still working. Her heart rate dropped a lot, so the doctors put in a temporary pacemaker. They said they're going to make it permanent soon. I'm wondering if it's a good idea for her to get a valve replacement surgery. Would it help her?
Given your grandmother's age and the severity of her heart valve condition, a valve replacement surgery may be a suitable option to improve her heart function and overall quality of life. However, the final decision should be made after a thorough evaluation by her healthcare team. In the meantime, it is important for her to continue taking her prescribed medications, such as beta-blockers like Metoprolol, at the appropriate dosage to help regulate her heart rate and manage her symptoms.
