I'm really worried because my dad's having some mild chest pain. The doctor suggested an X-ray and then mentioned a CT-guided FNAC, but we're stuck since there aren't any clinics nearby that offer this procedure. On top of that, we're not in a strong financial position. Can you guide me on what we should do next? I'm feeling pretty lost right now.

I've been on Amlodipine 5mg for a couple of weeks and have started feeling tightness in my chest and like I might faint. I've had hypertension since taking Telmikind AM twice a day and I'm also on Norethisterone 10 mg. I'm really concerned about these symptoms. Could these medications be causing these side effects, and what should I do about it? Would really appreciate some guidance here.

"Based on your symptoms of tightness in the chest and fainting, it is possible that you are experiencing side effects from the Amlodipine and Telmisartan combination. These medications are commonly used to treat hypertension, but in some cases, they can cause adverse reactions. I recommend that you consult your healthcare provider to discuss alternative medications for your high blood pressure. It is important to address these symptoms promptly to avoid any complications. In the meantime, you should also monitor your blood pressure regularly and avoid any activities that could be dangerous if you experience fainting spells. I don't know the specific medication that would be suitable for you, as it would depend on your individual health profile and any underlying conditions you may have."

I'm taking ecospirin 75 every night at 9:30 PM, but sometimes I accidentally miss a dose. I'm worried about what could happen if I skip a day or two. Could you let me know if there would be any side effects or anything I should be aware of?

Missing a dose of ecospirin 75 (aspirin) can increase the risk of blood clots forming in your arteries, which can lead to serious conditions such as heart attack or stroke. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one.
