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.

My dad just turned 50 and he's in good health overall. His recent routine stress test showed a positive result, which has us concerned. He was also found to have a Vitamin D deficiency, with a level of 9.8. Could this deficiency be linked to the stress test results? Should we be worried about one affecting the other?

Vitamin D deficiency can impact cardiovascular health and may affect the results of a stress test. It is important to address the Vitamin D deficiency to improve overall health. Your father can take Vitamin D supplements such as "Calcirol" 60,000 IU once a week for 8 weeks followed by maintenance dose of 1000-2000 IU daily. Additionally, he should spend time in sunlight and consume foods rich in Vitamin D like fatty fish, egg yolks, and fortified dairy products. Regular follow-up with his healthcare provider is recommended to monitor his Vitamin D levels and cardiovascular health.

I'm really worried because I've been feeling breathless for the past two days and I've noticed swelling in my right leg and hand. I've been taking Dytor 40mg every day, but it doesn't seem to be helping. Could this be something serious? What should I do next?

It sounds like you might be experiencing fluid retention, which could be related to heart or kidney function. Since you're on Dytor without improvement, it's important to follow up with a doctor urgently for a thorough evaluation, including heart and kidney function tests, to determine the cause of your symptoms.
