I'm really concerned about my heart, as I've had a PTCA stent placed to my right coronary artery and right internal artery. But lately, I've been experiencing some wet palpitations now and again. I have Type 2 diabetes and hypertension and I'm 56 years old. Should I be worried about these palpitations, or is this somewhat normal for someone in my situation? What should I do about it?

View allI've been taking Pentids 400 regularly for my cardiovascular issues, but now I can't seem to find it at my local pharmacy. Is there any alternative medication I could use instead?
Pentids 400 is not available, you can consider using the alternative medicine Amoxicillin 500mg. It belongs to the same class of antibiotics as Pentids and can be used to treat similar cardiovascular issues. Make sure to follow the dosage instructions provided by your healthcare provider.

I'm really puzzled about something and could use some guidance. All my testsECG, echo, and TMTcame back normal, yet I'm experiencing this weird pain in my chest muscle, especially when I touch it or sit down. There's also this mild pain below my collarbone and at the back of my left rib when I touch those areas. It almost feels like there's some swelling right below my left collarbone, but everything looks normal when I check in the mirror. Any idea what might be going on?
Based on your description, it seems like you may be experiencing musculoskeletal chest pain rather than a cardiac issue since your ECG, echo, and TMT are normal. The pain you are feeling when touching your chest muscles and the mild pain below the collar bone and back side of the left rib could be due to muscle strain or inflammation. To help relieve the pain and swelling, you can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen. Additionally, applying a warm compress to the affected area and gently massaging the muscles may also provide some relief. If the pain persists or worsens, it would be advisable to consult with a doctor for further evaluation and management.
