I'm really worried about my mom. She's been having this pain on the left side of her chest, and it spreads to her shoulder blade and down her arm. It's been really tough for her because she also feels uncomfortable when she's swallowing, and the pain gets worse when she takes a deep breath. She's not dealing with a cold, cough, or fever, but even with the meds she's taking, nothing seems to be helping. Could you please help me understand what might be going on and how we can treat it?

I'm feeling really tense and I'm worried it might cause a heart attack. I feel weak and lazy, but everything else seems normal. I'm currently out of town for work. Should I be concerned?

Stress and tension can contribute to an increased risk of heart attack, especially if it is chronic and not properly managed. To help alleviate your symptoms and reduce the risk of complications, you can consider taking a medication like Propranolol (40mg) to help with anxiety and physical symptoms. Additionally, practicing stress-reducing techniques such as deep breathing exercises, meditation, and getting regular exercise can also be beneficial.
