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.

I'm really worried about what happened to me a few days ago. My heart started racing, and it felt like there was some relief when I passed gas, but the fast heartbeat didn't totally go away. I ended up in the hospital and they had to give me shock treatment for my heart rate. That helped, but my blood pressure is still pretty high at 170120, even though it was normal just a week earlier. The doctor prescribed Ixarola 20 mg and cordarone tablets for 15 days. Can someone help me understand what caused this sudden change? I'm also looking for advice on any lifestyle changes or diet adjustments I should make to get my blood pressure down. Any suggestions?

It sounds like you experienced a rapid heart rate episode that required medical intervention to restore normal heart rhythm. The high blood pressure you are currently experiencing may be related to this episode. Ixarola 20 mg is a medication that helps lower blood pressure by relaxing blood vessels. Cordarone is a medication that helps regulate heart rhythm. To help manage your blood pressure and overall heart health, here are some lifestyle changes you can consider: - Follow a heart-healthy diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. Limit your intake of sodium, saturated fats, and added sugars. - Engage in regular physical activity, such as brisk walking, swimming, or cycling, for at least 30 minutes most days of the week. - Maintain a healthy weight and aim to lose weight if you are overweight. - Limit alcohol consumption and avoid smoking. - Manage stress through relaxation techniques, meditation, or yoga. - Monitor your blood pressure regularly and follow up with your healthcare provider as recommended. These lifestyle changes, along with your prescribed medications, can help improve your blood pressure and overall heart health.

I've been having this left upper chest pain along with a sensation of irritation or discomfort near the right side of my throat and towards the end of my molar teeth for the last 3-4 days. It's really worrying me. About 2 months ago, I had some heart tests done, but everything came back normal. I do have a BP of 14090 though and was taking TELMA H for two months. I quit smoking 6 months ago and used to smoke around 23 cigarettes a day. What could be causing these symptoms, and what should I do?

GERD take pantop 40mg for 3days
