I'm really curious about something - I've had tons of ECGs, echos, and TMTs over the past year, and while I suspect I might have POTS because my heart rate jumps to 120 bpm when I walk, that's not what I'm most concerned about right now. Today, I'm experiencing these really strong, sharp chest pains. They come and go, happening in one small spot that hurts for 23 seconds and then disappears, or sometimes it's a dull ache lasting 24 seconds and then it's gone. Occasionally, the pain stays for 30 seconds to a minute, which I've found is called Texidor's twinges. The sharp pains are intense, happening in one spot or feeling like multiple wires in my chest wall are hurting for a second, but then they just vanish. Even with the dull pains, they stop after a few seconds, and I've also been coughing for the last few days. Do you think this could be heart-related? Sometimes, stretching makes the pain worse before it eases up. What could be causing this?

It is important to consider the possibility of musculoskeletal chest pain, especially given the description of sharp, localized pains that last for a few seconds and can be triggered or worsened by stretching. The fact that you have been coughing for the last few days also suggests a potential respiratory component to your symptoms. To address the sharp chest pains, you can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen. Additionally, using a heating pad on the affected area may help alleviate the discomfort. It is also advisable to practice deep breathing exercises to help relax the chest muscles. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it would be prudent to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and to rule out any cardiac issues.

View allI'm really worried about my mom. She's been dealing with high BP for the last 15 days, even though she regularly takes her medication. About two weeks ago, she woke up with her left eye really red, and the doctors said her BP was at 100180. She's been on Amlopres 5 mg for BP for 25 years and Ecosprin 75 mg to thin her blood for 5-6 years. The doctors recently switched her meds to CTDT 6.2540 mg in the morning and Cildip 5 mg in the evening for BP, along with Clodrel 75 for blood thinning. What could be causing her BP to spike like this, and is there a way to get it under control?
Excessive masturbation (4-5 times a day) can lead to mental fatigue, decreased concentration, and increased stress and anxiety. It can also cause feelings of guilt, shame, and low self-esteem. Desensitization to pleasure and potential erectile dysfunction are possible risks. Additionally, excessive masturbation can negatively impact relationships and daily life. It's essential to maintain a balanced and healthy lifestyle.

I've been checking my pulse readings on my device this morning and I'm a bit worried. Should I be concerned about it? Im taking Olmezest 40, Zyloric 100, and S Numlo 2.5. Do those affect my pulse, or is there something else I should be aware of?
Your pulse reading is an important vital sign that can provide insight into your heart health. A normal resting heart rate for adults is typically between 60 to 100 beats per minute. If your pulse reading is consistently outside of this range, it may be a cause for concern and you should consult with a healthcare professional. As for the medications you mentioned, Olmezest 40 is a brand name for olmesartan, which is commonly used to treat high blood pressure. Zyloric 100 is a brand name for allopurinol, often prescribed for conditions like gout. S Numlo 2.5 is a brand name for amlodipine, which is also used to treat high blood pressure. It's important to take these medications as prescribed by your healthcare provider and to monitor your pulse readings regularly. If you have any concerns about your pulse or overall health, it's best to seek medical advice promptly.

How do you stop a heart attack immediately?
Acting quickly can save lives. If given quickly after symptoms, clot-busting and artery-opening medications can stop a heart attack, and having a catheterization with a stent put in may open a closed blood vessel. The longer you wait for treatment, the more chances of survival go down and damage to the heart goes up.
