I'm really worried because I've been having this pain on the left side of my chest for a few months now. I'm asthmatic but I'm not having any trouble breathing or coughing. I saw a heart doctor and he did an echo, which came back normal, and the chest X-ray was normal too. The pain is kind of between my lower ribs up to the upper side of my chest, and sometimes it goes to my back. I'm really scared about what it could be. Can you help me figure out what's going on?

My dad got his first Covaxin dose today and he stopped taking Ecosprin AV 75 two days ago. I'm wondering if it's okay for him to start taking it again now or if he should wait a couple more days.

"Dear SirMam, your father can continue taking Ecosprin AV 75 along with Covaxin. There is no need to stop it for 2-3 more days. The combination is safe and can be continued as prescribed. The usual dosage for Ecosprin AV 75 is one tablet once daily."

I'm a bit worried about my current heart rate and blood pressure. Usually, my resting heart rate is between 70-80, and my BP is around 12585, but since this evening, my heart rate has jumped to 112-118, and my BP is at 14090. Up until a few days ago, everything was normal. I did smoke today after a long break and then checked my readings. Also, I've had a physiotherapy session with IFT for a cervical issue. Should I be concerned about these changes?

The increase in heart rate and blood pressure after smoking can be a concerning sign, especially if your readings were normal a few days back. It is important to monitor your blood pressure and heart rate closely. To help lower your blood pressure, you can consider taking medications such as Amlodipine 5mg once daily. Additionally, to help regulate your heart rate, you can take Metoprolol 25mg twice daily. However, it is important to quit smoking as it can have detrimental effects on your cardiovascular health.

I'm Mukesh and I've been dealing with some health issues for the last three years. My doctor told me my blood pressure is high, but my ECG is normal. My cerum creatinine is 0.91, and cholesterol levels reported in February 2017 are at t.col130, HDL 44.1, triglycerides 113.9, LDL 63.12, and VLDL 22.78. The chest X-ray came back normal too. I've been taking Tenolol 50 and Anxit 0.25 as prescribed, but I'm still having the same issues and sometimes I have trouble breathing. Could you help me understand what's going wrong and if there's anything else I should be doing?

Mukesh, given your history of high blood pressure and normal test results including ECG, cholesterol levels, and chest X-ray, it's important to manage your hypertension and associated symptoms effectively. Tenolol (a beta-blocker) and Anxit (an anxiety medication) are useful, but if your symptoms persist, further evaluation is needed. Breathing problems can be related to anxiety, uncontrolled blood pressure, or other underlying conditions. I recommend following up with your healthcare provider to reassess your treatment plan. They may adjust your medications, explore other causes for your symptoms, and possibly refer you to a specialist if needed.
