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?

I was recently told by my general physician to start a 10-day course of Telma 40 mg because my blood pressure was quite high at 170110. I've been checking my BP in the evenings for the next few days, and it's usually between 100150 and 115155. After taking the medication for six days, my BP has come down to around 13090, and for the last couple of days, it's stabilized around 12080 in the evening. I've also cut back on salty and oily foods and started walking about 4 to 5 km, plus doing 20 minutes of Pranayam. I'm a bit concerned and curious about what else I can do. I have a BMI of 26.5. Any advice?

I'm concerned about my blood pressure spiking in the evenings. It goes up to 16090, but stays under 12580 throughout the day until around 5pm. I'm 36, weigh 78kgs, and my height is 5 feet 4.5 inches. Is there something specific causing this? Any advice on what I should do?

To help manage your blood pressure spikes in the evening, you can consider taking a medication like Amlodipine (brand name Norvasc) 5mg daily in the evening. Additionally, lifestyle modifications such as reducing salt intake, regular exercise, maintaining a healthy weight, and managing stress can also be beneficial in controlling your blood pressure. Remember to consult with your doctor before starting any new medication.

I'm currently on clopidogrel 75 mg and aspirin 75 mg daily. I'm thinking of switching to clopitab CV 20 mg instead. Is it okay for my health to stop the aspirin and just take clopitab CV 20 mg? Would love to hear your opinion on whether this is a good idea or not.

NO u have to continue all the medications including aspirin also.
