I'm really worried about my dad. He recently had an acute heart attack, and he's 68. Thankfully, he's stable now, but he's also dealing with diabetes. We consulted a cardiologist and decided not to do the angiography because his serum creatinine level was around 1.7, which was a bit high. He's on medication at the moment. Our cardiologist mentioned vaccines called Pulmovac and Vomimp for his heart. I'm curious to know if these vaccines are helpful and if there are any potential side effects I should be aware of.

Pulmovac is a vaccine that helps in preventing pneumonia, which is important in individuals with heart conditions to reduce the risk of respiratory infections. Vomimp is a vaccine that helps in preventing influenza, which is crucial in maintaining overall health and reducing the risk of complications in individuals with heart problems. Both vaccines are generally safe and well-tolerated, with common side effects being mild and temporary such as redness or swelling at the injection site, low-grade fever, or body aches. It is recommended for your father to follow the cardiologist's advice and get vaccinated to protect his heart health. The dosage and schedule for these vaccines will be provided by the healthcare provider administering them.

I'm having this pain that comes and goes around my chest and shoulder area, but it's mostly around my heart. I've been really stressed out these past couple of weeks and I'm worried about what it could be. I had an ECG and a chest X-ray done at a diagnostic center, and there were no issues found. I'm 28 years old and weigh 81 kilos. Could you suggest any medicine for pain relief, or do you think I should be looking into something else? I'm actually quite puzzled about what's going on.

I'm having this chest pain on the left side about 30 to 40 minutes after falling asleep, and it even comes with a bit of sweating. Once it starts, I can't find a comfortable position to sleep in without it hurting, so I've been sleeping in an easy chair for the past five days. I started taking Tonact TG for my high cholesterol, which is 290. I'm also on Thyronorm 75 and Telmisartan 40. My TSH levels and blood pressure are normal. Should I be worried about this chest pain and what should I do about it?
It sounds like you're experiencing discomfort that could be related to a few different factors, including your cholesterol and medications. Since the pain is persistent and affects your sleep, it's important to follow up with your doctor to rule out any heart-related issues and ensure the medications are working well for you. If the pain persists, consider an evaluation for possible musculoskeletal causes or other conditions that might be contributing.
