View allI've been experiencing this weird, needle-like pain on the left side of my chest for over a month now, about 34 days to be exact. It comes and goes, and it's really starting to worry me. I got an ECG done, but it came out normal. Should I be concerned, or is there something else I should be looking into?
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of angina. Angina is chest pain or discomfort that occurs when your heart muscle doesn't get enough oxygen-rich blood. Since your ECG is normal, it's good news that there may not be any major heart issues. However, it's still important to address the symptoms you are experiencing. I recommend taking a low dose of aspirin (75-100mg) daily to help reduce the risk of blood clots and improve blood flow to the heart. Additionally, you can try using nitroglycerin sublingual tablets as needed for chest pain relief. It is important to rest and avoid strenuous activities until the symptoms improve. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please seek medical attention for further evaluation and management.

I'm having this weird throbbing pain in my chest that feels like getting punched, but it only lasts a few seconds and then disappears. It pops up unexpectedly and can be on the left, right, or center of my chestnot in one specific spot. It doesn't happen when I'm exercising, but when it hits, it's in this tiny area that I could touch with a finger. I've had an ECG and three 2D echo tests, and all the results look fine according to the doctors. I'm really confused about what's causing this. Any idea on what might be going on?
It sounds like you may be experiencing episodes of chest pain known as angina. Angina is often described as a squeezing, pressure, heaviness, tightness, or pain in your chest. It can be caused by reduced blood flow to your heart muscle, which is usually due to coronary artery disease. Since your ECG and 2D echoes have come back normal, it is good news that there is no immediate concern for heart-related issues. However, it is still important to investigate further to determine the cause of your chest pain. I recommend discussing with your doctor about the possibility of undergoing a stress test to evaluate your heart's function under stress. Additionally, you may benefit from a CT coronary angiography to assess the blood flow in your coronary arteries. In the meantime, to help manage your symptoms, your doctor may prescribe medications such as nitroglycerin to relieve chest pain. It is important to take the medication as prescribed by your doctor. Remember to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management of your chest pain.

I'm 33 and have been dealing with high blood pressure for about a decade. I've been taking medication for it, initially just Nebicard 5 mg, but after 12 years, my doctor switched me to Covamlo. However, recently due to some family stress, my blood pressure has spiked, and my doctor prescribed me two tablets. I'm really worried about this change. Is this normal, and should I be concerned about having to take more medication?
The medication prescribed to you for high blood pressure is a combination of drugs called Covamlo. The brand name for this combination is Co-Diovan. You have been prescribed 2 tablets, so please take them as directed by your doctor. This combination medication contains Valsartan 160mg and Hydrochlorothiazide 12.5mg. Taking your medication regularly and managing stress through relaxation techniques can help control your blood pressure.
