I'm really worried because I started with heart pain, and then the next day, I got this really bad pain in my left upper abdomen. I had an ECG done, and they didn't find anything unusual, and my stomach scan was clear too. But I keep getting these chest pains, mostly at night, and sometimes there's this pain in my shoulder blade that only lasts a few minutes. I'm too scared to tell my parents about all this. Can you tell me what's going on?

based on your symptoms of chest pain, left upper abdominal pain, and shoulder blade pain, along with normal ECG and abdominal scan results, it is important to consider the possibility of acid reflux or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) as a potential cause of your symptoms. I recommend taking a proton pump inhibitor such as Esomeprazole (brand name Nexium) 40mg once daily before breakfast for at least 2 weeks to see if it helps alleviate your symptoms. Additionally, you can take antacids like Tums as needed for immediate relief of chest pain. It is also important to avoid spicy, fatty, and acidic foods, as well as eating at least 2-3 hours before bedtime to help reduce acid reflux symptoms. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with a doctor for further evaluation and management.

View allI'm 28 and I've noticed my blood pressure is around 160100 lately. Can you help me understand why this might be happening and how I can bring it down naturally?
High blood pressure can be caused by various factors such as stress, unhealthy diet, lack of physical activity, smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, and genetics. To reduce high blood pressure naturally, you can try the following. Maintain a healthy diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. Limit your salt intake. Engage in regular physical activity such as brisk walking, jogging, or swimming. Manage stress through techniques like meditation, yoga, or deep breathing exercises. Limit alcohol consumption and quit smoking. Ensure an adequate amount of quality sleep. Consider incorporating foods rich in potassium, magnesium, and calcium into your diet. If these lifestyle changes do not effectively lower your blood pressure, you may need medication.

I've been dealing with neck pain for the past 20 days, and now I'm starting to feel pain on the left side of my chest and in my shoulders. Could you give me some advice on what might be going on?
It sounds like you may be experiencing musculoskeletal pain that is radiating from your neck to your chest and shoulders. I recommend taking Ibuprofen (Advil) 400mg every 6 hours as needed for pain relief and inflammation. Additionally, you can apply a topical pain relief gel like Voltaren gel to the affected areas. Make sure to rest your neck, avoid any strenuous activities, and practice good posture. If the pain persists or worsens, please follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation.

My mom, who's 50, has been taking Thyronorm 50 for her thyroid. Her doctor mentioned noticing some changes in her ECG twice during her follow-ups and suggested she should get a TMT and an Echo done. Her 2D Echo looks normal with an LVEF of 65%, but her TMT came back positive for inducible ischemia at a moderate workload level. She's mentioned having shortness of breath sometimes when she's climbing stairs, but other than that, she's fine and doesn't have any chest pain or a history of high blood pressure or diabetes. What would you suggest as the next steps for her?
A 2D Echo is advised as a diagnostic procedure for heart blocks and other pathology..
