I'm really concerned about my 75-year-old mother-in-law who has a pacemaker and had to stop using her hearing aid. Her cardiologist mentioned that the electromagnetic signals could mess with the pacemaker. I'm wondering if it's possible for her to use both if we keep the hearing aid battery more than 6 inches away from the pacemaker. If so, what kind of hearing aid would you recommend in this situation? Would love your advice on this.

View allCan I take Dilzem CD 120 about 40 minutes after Rabsec PPI? Are there any side effects I should be worried about?
It is generally safe to take Dilzem CD 120 after 40 minutes of Rabsec (PPI). However, it is important to note that there may be a potential interaction between these two medications. Dilzem CD 120 is a calcium channel blocker used to treat high blood pressure and chest pain, while Rabsec (PPI) is a proton pump inhibitor used to reduce stomach acid. Some potential side effects of taking these medications together may include an increased risk of low blood pressure, slow heart rate, and potential drug interactions. It is always best to consult with your healthcare provider before taking these medications together to ensure safety and effectiveness.

I'm a 26-year-old male, around 78 kg, and about 5'9". During my UPSC physical test, the doctor mentioned hearing a slight heart murmur through the stethoscope. I went through an echo test and an ECG, but they didn't find anything specific. I passed the test, but I'm kind of worried about what this could mean for my future. My recent cholesterol levels are 195 total, 96 LDL, 35 VLDL, and 39 HDL. The echo test showed that my IV septum is 11. Should I be concerned about this murmur, and is there something I should be doing to address it? Your guidance would be really helpful.
Given your situation, it is important to monitor your heart health regularly. To address the heart murmur, you can take a low dose of **Aspirin** daily to prevent blood clots and reduce the risk of heart attack. Additionally, **Atorvastatin** can be used to manage your cholesterol levels effectively. It is recommended to take **Atorvastatin 20mg** daily to keep your LDL cholesterol in check. Regular exercise, a healthy diet low in saturated fats and cholesterol, and avoiding smoking can also help improve your heart health and reduce the risk of future issues. It's essential to follow up with your healthcare provider for regular check-ups and monitoring.

I'm feeling pretty uneasy right now. I've got this sudden, sharp pain in my upper chest and the left side. It really hurts when I take a deep breath. I've taken a painkiller and applied some Volini gel, which has helped a bit, but I'm still worried. What do you think this could be?
it might be a muscle spasm ,donot worry
