I'm looking for some advice. My husband, who's 29 and weighs around 92 kg, has been feeling a pinching sensation in his chest and some pain in his left arm for about 45 days now. He's a non-smoker, drinks occasionally, and his parents both had heart attacks before. Our cardio doctor suggested a CT coronary angio test, which is non-invasive. About six months ago, he had episodes of increased heartbeats, anxiety, and sweating, and we did a bunch of tests like the 2D Echo Doppler, TMT, and trop T, which all came back normal in September 2018. I'm wondering if this is a good step to take to get more clarity on what's happening with him. Are there any side effects from this test we should be aware of, and is there anything specific we should do to prepare before he takes the test?

View allI've been dealing with moderate hypertension since I got diagnosed with a BP of 168122 on December 18th, and I've been put on Telma 40. But for the past three days, I've been having this awful headache and pain in my cheek, only on the left side of my face. My blood pressure is still at 150115 even though I've been taking the medicine for these three days. Should I be concerned about this, and what should I do next?
Given your recent diagnosis of moderate hypertension and the current blood pressure readings of 150115 despite taking Telma 40 (telmisartan), it is essential to address this promptly. Your persistent headache and left-sided cheek pain might indicate uncontrolled hypertension, which can lead to severe complications if not managed appropriately. Firstly, I recommend you seek immediate medical attention to evaluate your symptoms. Your healthcare provider might need to adjust your blood pressure medication or add additional antihypertensive agents to better control your blood pressure. They may also want to investigate the cause of your headache and cheek pain to rule out other potential issues, such as sinusitis or trigeminal neuralgia. In the meantime, continue taking your medication as prescribed and avoid any activities that could elevate your blood pressure further. Please contact your healthcare provider as soon as possible to discuss these symptoms.

My dad's been diagnosed with diabetes and now it turns out three of his heart valves are blocked. When I talked to the doctors, they mentioned the situation is beyond what bypass surgery can fix. I'm really worried and unsure about what to do next. Could you give me some guidance on this?

I'm having this issue where I feel chest tightness when I'm lying on my back, but it's fine when I sleep on my side. Is this something I should be concerned about? Could it be related to anxiety or some other health issue? I'm really worried and need some guidance.
Chest tightness when lying on your back that improves when you sleep on your side could be related to several factors, such as musculoskeletal issues, gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), or anxiety. To determine the cause, it would be best to consult with your healthcare provider. They can perform a thorough evaluation and may suggest lifestyle modifications, such as avoiding large meals before bedtime, elevating the head of your bed, or addressing anxiety through relaxation techniques or therapy. Your doctor can also rule out any serious cardiac or pulmonary conditions.
