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 42 and my doctor just recently told me I have high blood pressure, so I've been taking TetanH and it's helped to get it under control. I'm thinking about trying intermittent fasting because I've heard it might help with lowering blood pressure too. Do you think that's a good idea for me? Also, I'm curious if there are any side effects from using TetanH over a long period. Can you give me some advice on this?
It's great to hear that your blood pressure is now under control with Tetan-H. Intermittent fasting can potentially help lower blood pressure, but it's essential to approach it cautiously, especially when you're on medication. Before starting any new diet regimen, it's important to discuss it with your doctor to ensure it's safe given your specific health condition. Regarding Tetan-H, which contains telmisartan and hydrochlorothiazide, it can have some long-term side effects like any medication. These may include dizziness, increased uric acid levels, or kidney function changes. Close monitoring by your doctor can help manage any potential side effects.

My wife's LVEF was measured at 50 during her pregnancy and it's still at the same level afterward. The cardiologist prescribed Ramister 1.25mg and Carnitor 500. We're a bit concerned since 50 is on the lower end of normal. Could you let us know if these medications will help improve her LVEF, or if there's anything else we should consider?
These medications can help improve cardiac function and potentially increase the LVEF. Additionally, it is important to follow a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise and a balanced diet, to further support heart health."

I recently had an ECG and felt really nervous during the test. The report mentioned "sinus tachycardia otherwise normal ECG." Should I be worried about this?
Sinus tachycardia is a condition where the heart beats faster than normal. In most cases, it is a normal response to stress, anxiety, or exercise. Since your ECG report shows sinus tachycardia but is otherwise normal, there is likely no cause for concern. However, if you continue to experience symptoms such as palpitations, dizziness, or chest pain, it would be advisable to follow up with your healthcare provider. No specific medication is needed for sinus tachycardia, but managing stress and anxiety can help.
