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 experiencing some heart palpitations and they make me feel really uncomfortable and short of breath. I've also been feeling pretty tired lately. What could be causing these symptoms? Should I be worried about this?
Heart palpitations causing discomfort and breathlessness along with fatigue can be due to various reasons. It could be related to underlying heart conditions such as arrhythmias, heart valve disorders, or heart failure. Other possible causes include thyroid disorders, anxiety or panic attacks, anemia, or even certain medications. To address the symptoms, it is important to first identify the underlying cause. I recommend you consult a healthcare professional for a thorough evaluation.

I'm a bit worried because my mom accidentally took her stamlo 5mg dose in the evening too, even though she's only supposed to take it in the morning. Is it still okay for her to take her regular morning dose tomorrow?
Yes she can take her regular dose no need to worry

I'm really worried about my aunt. She's a heart patient and recently had bypass surgery. She's been taking Acitrom 2mg, and the doctor warned us that mixing it with other medications could cause serious side effects. But now, for her leg pain, another doctor recommended she take Amifru 40mg. I'm just concerned - is it safe for her to take both Acitrom and Amifru together? Would love some guidance on this.
no problem you can take.
