"Based on your symptoms and the medications you have been prescribed, it seems like you may be experiencing acid reflux or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) along with some respiratory symptoms. Since you have already seen a Pulmonologist and undergone tests which did not show anything serious, you may consider consulting a Gastroenterologist for further evaluation and management of your symptoms. Regarding your current medications: 1. Montair Fx (Montelukast + Fexofenadine) - Take it daily for allergies and respiratory symptoms. Dosage: As prescribed by your doctor. 2. Mucotab ET 600mg (Etophylline + Theophylline) - Take three times a day for respiratory symptoms. Dosage: 600mg three times a day. 3. PAN D (Pantoprazole) - Take it twice a day for acid reflux. Dosage: As prescribed by your doctor. 4. Etilaam - Take it once at night for anxiety or sleep issues. Dosage: As prescribed by your doctor. Since you have not seen improvement after 8 days of medication, it would be advisable to follow up with a Gastroenterologist for further evaluation and management. They can provide additional guidance and treatment options for your symptoms."

Accepted Answer

Based on your symptoms and the tests you have undergone, it seems like you may be experiencing symptoms of angina or coronary artery disease. Since your ECG, troponin test, chest X-ray, echo, and TMT are normal, it is important to continue monitoring your symptoms and follow up with your cardiologist for further evaluation. In the meantime, you can take medications like Aspirin 75mg once daily to help reduce the risk of heart attack, and medications like Atorvastatin 20mg once daily to manage cholesterol levels. Additionally, Nitroglycerin sublingual tablets can be taken as needed for chest pain relief. It is also important to make lifestyle changes such as maintaining a healthy diet, regular exercise, quitting smoking (if applicable), and managing stress to improve your overall heart health. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please consult your cardiologist for further evaluation and management.

I recently had a 2D echo and ECG done on the 5th of Jan and they came out normal. Now I'm having neck and shoulder pain and I'm worried. Could this be a sign of a stroke? I'm a patient who had an ASD device closure.

Accepted Answer

Neck and shoulder pain can have various causes and may not necessarily be a sign of a stroke. However, given your medical history as an ASD device closure patient, it is important to monitor any new symptoms closely. To address your neck and shoulder pain, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen (e.g. Tylenol) at a dose of 500mg to 1000mg every 4 to 6 hours as needed for pain. Additionally, you can apply a warm compress to the affected area and practice gentle neck and shoulder stretches. If the pain persists or worsens, it is advisable to follow up with your cardiologist or healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
