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 looking at the results from a recent heart evaluation, and I'm a bit concerned. It mentions "Concentric LVH, Mild MR, Trivial TR, normal pasp, No pericardial effusion, LVEF 60, No RWMA, Normal LV function," and my blood pressure reading was 210110. Could you help me understand what all this means for my heart health? I'm especially worried about the high blood pressure and terms like "Concentric LVH" and "LVEF 60." What should I be doing or asking my doctor about these findings?
The findings suggest concentric left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) with mild mitral regurgitation (MR) and trivial tricuspid regurgitation (TR). There is no pericardial effusion, and the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is normal at 60%. There are no regional wall motion abnormalities (RWMA) indicating normal left ventricular function. The blood pressure is elevated at 210110 mmHg. You may consider starting antihypertensive medication to help lower your blood pressure and reduce the risk of complications. A combination of medications such as Amlodipine 5mg and Lisinopril 10mg can be prescribed to help manage your blood pressure effectively. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider regularly to monitor your condition and adjust your treatment as needed.

I'm really concerned about my daughter's health. She's 30 and works in IT as a software engineer. Lately, she's been experiencing a lot of laziness, and I'm worried because she always has low blood pressure, less than 10070. Is this something we should be worried about, or can low BP just vary from person to person?
Low blood pressure (less than 10070 mmHg) can be normal for some individuals and may not cause any symptoms. However, if your daughter is experiencing symptoms like dizziness, fatigue, or frequent laziness, it could be due to her low blood pressure or other underlying conditions. Its important to evaluate potential causes, such as dehydration, nutritional deficiencies, hormonal imbalances, or even the effects of a sedentary lifestyle associated with her IT job. Encouraging her to stay hydrated, maintain a balanced diet, and incorporate regular physical activity can help. If her symptoms persist or worsen, I recommend consulting with a healthcare provider to rule out any underlying conditions and provide personalized advice.

I'm dealing with some pretty persistent pain in my jaw, neck, shoulder, back, and left arm that I've had for the last three months, and the jaw pain just started about a week ago. About 25 days back, I had an ECG, TMT, and troponin blood test, and they all came back normal. Before that, three months ago, I had earlier done an ECG, TMT, and ECHO test, and those were normal too. But the pain hasn't gotten any better, and it's really stressing me out. Can you suggest what I should do next in terms of treatment or any other tests I need to consider?
Based on your symptoms and normal test results, it sounds like you may be experiencing musculoskeletal pain and tension. I recommend trying over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen for pain relief. Additionally, you can apply a topical pain relief gel containing diclofenac to the affected areas. For muscle relaxation, you can try a muscle relaxant medication such as cyclobenzaprine. It is important to maintain good posture, practice relaxation techniques, and consider physical therapy to help alleviate your symptoms. If the pain persists, further evaluation by a specialist such as a physiotherapist or orthopedic doctor may be necessary.
