Question 1

I'm having a lot of pain under my left breast, and sometimes it spreads to my back, neck, and arm. I'm on tolperitas D and GR 8, but I'm not really feeling any better. Should I be worried, or is there something else I can try? What could this pain mean?

Accepted Answer

The severe pain below the left breast, radiating to the back, neck, and arm, may indicate a musculoskeletal issue, costochondritis, or even a cardiac-related condition; given the ineffectiveness of Tolperis-D and GR-8, consider consulting a specialist, such as a cardiologist, gastroenterologist, or pain management specialist, for a thorough evaluation, including diagnostic tests like ECG, ultrasound, or MRI, to determine the underlying cause and develop an effective treatment plan.

Question 2

I'm experiencing arm pain that started in my left arm, but now it's also in my right arm. I've got this weird center chest pain too. I did an ECG, echo, and some blood tests, including a thyroid test about four days ago, and everything came back normal. The doctor mentioned it might be anxiety because my heart rate was really highlike 130 bpm during the ECG and my blood pressure was 15080. I've had this fear of heart issues for months, and now the symptoms seem to have gotten worse. They gave me Betanol TR 40 to try and help. Sometimes the arm pain gets really bad, but then it goes away and comes back. It feels like pins and needles, maybe like cramps. What could this be?

Accepted Answer

It sounds like you are experiencing symptoms of anxiety and cardiophobia, which can manifest as arm pain and chest discomfort. The medication prescribed to you, Betanol TR 40, is a brand name for Propranolol. This medication can help with managing symptoms of anxiety and can also help with reducing heart rate and blood pressure. The usual dosage for Propranolol in anxiety is 20-40mg taken 2-3 times a day. It is important to follow your doctor's instructions regarding the dosage and frequency of taking the medication. If you experience worsening symptoms or have any concerns, it is important to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.

Question 3

I've been feeling light-headed every now and then for the past few months. I'm 38, weigh 95 kg, and am 5'7". I don't smoke or drink, and I've been avoiding sugar and cholesterol. My thyroid level is 5.8. I recently started jogging two months ago, and my ECG says I have sinus bradycardia. Should I be worried about this? Is it related to my new exercise routine or something else?

Accepted Answer

"Based on your information, sinus bradycardia is a condition where the heart beats slower than normal. In your case, since you are experiencing light-headedness, it may be related to your sinus bradycardia. I recommend you to take Tab. Propranolol 10mg once daily to help regulate your heart rate and alleviate the symptoms. However, it is important to consult with a doctor for proper evaluation and monitoring of your condition."
