I'm really worried about my mom. She's 48 and recently started having continuous chest pain. She had a viral fever and some cough, so we initially thought it was just that, but the pain didn't go away. We went to a government hospital and the doctor there told us to do an ECG test and mentioned it was serious. But then we went to a private hospital and they said not to worry. I'm feeling confused with these mixed messages. What should I do next?

The chest pain in your mother could be due to various reasons, including cardiac issues. Since the government doctor recommended an ECG test, it is important to follow through with that recommendation to rule out any serious heart problems. If the private hospital has reassured you that there is no immediate cause for concern, it is still advisable to monitor the situation closely. In the meantime, to help alleviate the chest pain and cough, you can consider giving her a medication like Paracetamol for pain relief and Cough syrup for cough. However, it is crucial to follow the dosage instructions provided on the medication packaging or as advised by a healthcare professional. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please seek further medical advice.

View allI've been managing high blood pressure for a while now and I keep up with my daily exercise routine, which includes walking about 4.5 km and jogging 1.5 km. I'm wondering if it's safe to continue jogging with my high BP. Can jogging be risky for someone in my condition, or is there a safe way to incorporate it into my fitness routine?
It is generally safe to jog with high blood pressure, but it is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and consult with your doctor before starting any new exercise routine. It is recommended to start with low to moderate intensity exercises and gradually increase the intensity as tolerated. Additionally, make sure to stay hydrated and listen to your body for any signs of discomfort. If you experience any dizziness, chest pain, or severe shortness of breath, stop exercising immediately and seek medical attention.

I'm having some concerns and would love your advice. My blood pressure is at 160100 and I'm also experiencing a fever. I used to have anxiety and was on etizolam beta .25, but I stopped taking it about a year ago. A year ago, all my tests like ECG, echo, TMT, and blood work were normal. Should I consider getting these tests done again, or do you think I should go back on the meds?
Given your high blood pressure (160100) and fever, along with a history of anxiety and discontinued medication (etizolam beta 0.25), it's essential to consult your doctor immediately; they may recommend repeating some tests, such as ECG, blood work, and possibly adding new ones like a chest X-ray or inflammatory marker tests to rule out underlying conditions;
