I'm really worried about my mom. She's been having chest pain for a while and thought it might be due to gastric issues, but yesterday it got really bad and lasted more than half an hour. Now she's noticing that when she turns her head to the right, the pain in her chest gets worse. Since yesterday, she's also been feeling some uneasiness in her chest. What could be going on? Should we be worried about something serious?

View allI'm 25 and recently got vaccinated, but I've started having chest pains and trouble breathing. My ECG shows something called a left anterior hemiblock. Is this something serious? What should I do about it?
Left anterior hemiblock is a condition where there is a delay in the electrical signal conduction in the heart. In most cases, it is not considered a serious issue, especially in young individuals like yourself. However, since you are experiencing chest pains and breathing issues after vaccination, it is important to monitor your symptoms closely. To address the chest pains and breathing issues, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen for the chest pain and practice deep breathing exercises to help with breathing. It is also important to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest. In terms of the left anterior hemiblock, it is recommended to follow up with a cardiologist for further evaluation and management. They may suggest monitoring your heart rhythm regularly and making lifestyle modifications such as regular exercise and a healthy diet. If necessary, they may prescribe medications like beta-blockers to help regulate your heart rate. Overall, it is important to stay in touch with your healthcare provider and seek medical attention if your symptoms worsen or if you have any concerns.

I've been dealing with anxiety-induced tachycardia and my resting heart rate used to be around 100-130 with a blood pressure of 130-14070-80 for the past year. My doctor prescribed Ciplar LA 40 mg and Amitone 10 mg, which I've been taking for the past four days. I've noticed my resting heart rate has dropped to between 70-85 and my blood pressure is now around 11080. There's another option, Metoprolol 25 mg, and I'm curious if it's a better choice for me to use just for a month. What would you suggest?
For anxiety-induced tachycardia, both Ciplar LA (propranolol) 40 mg and Metoprolol 25 mg are commonly used beta-blockers to help control heart rate and blood pressure. In your case, since you have already started taking Ciplar LA 40 mg and have noticed an improvement in your resting heart rate and blood pressure within 4 days, it seems to be working well for you. Therefore, I would recommend continuing with Ciplar LA 40 mg for the next month as prescribed by your doctor. It has shown effectiveness in reducing your heart rate and maintaining a normal blood pressure range. Make sure to follow your doctor's instructions regarding dosage and duration of treatment.
