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 feeling something a bit strange lately whenever I lie down, especially on my side or stomach, I can actually feel my heart beating. And when I press my ear to the pillow, I can hear it clearly in my ears. Ive already had an ECG, echo, and thyroid tests, and everything came back normal. My blood pressure and heartbeat are normal too. I dont have any other symptoms, so Im wondering what this could be or if it's something I should be worried about. What should I do next?

I'm really concerned about my mom. She had her MVR surgery back in December 2011, and for the past year and a half, she's been paralyzed. Recently, her INR levels were all over the place and hit 6, so we stopped her dose for three days. We've restarted with acitrom 2, but on November 10th her INR was 1.99 and PT was 20. I'm trying to figure out what the right dosage should be for her now. Any advice would be really helpful.
Regarding your mother's case, based on her current situation with an INR of 1.99 and PT of 20, the appropriate dose adjustment for her would be to continue with Acitrom 2, but with a slight increase in dosage. I recommend increasing the dose to Acitrom 2.5 to help stabilize her INR levels more effectively. It's important to monitor her INR levels regularly to ensure they stay within the target range.

I'm worried about my father. He had angioplasty just yesterday, and now he's got this pain running from the middle of his leg down to his ankle. Is that something to be concerned about, or is it normal after angioplasty?
Pain from the mid-leg to the ankle after an angioplasty could be due to several factors, such as the site of catheter insertion (usually the femoral artery in the groin) or the use of a vascular closure device. While mild discomfort and bruising can be normal, significant pain should be evaluated to rule out complications like hematoma, arterial injury, or deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Please consult your father's healthcare provider promptly to assess the cause of the pain and ensure appropriate management.
