I'm taking some meds for high blood pressure, like METOLAR XR and TELMA 20, and I have a TMT test for a pre-employment check-up coming up. I'm a bit worried because I really can't afford to fail this test. Do I need to stop taking these meds on the day of the test, or will they affect the results? Can you let me know what I should do?

You can continue taking METOLAR XR and TELMA 20 on the day of your TMT test. These medications are commonly used for high blood pressure and should not significantly affect the results of the test. It is important to follow your regular dosage schedule. Good luck with your pre-employment medical test!"

I've been experiencing this ongoing chest pain in the middle area whenever I take a deep breath, and it's been going on for about 2.5 years now. Initially, the doctor mentioned it was anxiety-related, but the pain hasn't gone away and I haven't seen a doctor for the last year because of the whole COVID situation. I'm wondering if this could really just be anxiety or if there's a chance it might be something else, like an esophagus issue. I mean, the pain gets worse with a deep breath, but I don't have trouble breathing otherwise. I did an ECG and a high troponin test about 12 days ago, and both were normal. I've also got acidity issues. What should I do next?

I'm having regular chest pain, along with pain in my left arm and leg. I'm not sure how to get treatment for this. Could you help me understand what's going on and how I might address it? I'm feeling a bit worried about these symptoms.

The symptoms you are experiencing could be related to musculoskeletal issues or even cardiovascular problems. It is important to first rule out any serious conditions by consulting with a healthcare professional. However, for relief from pain, you can take over-the-counter pain medication such as acetaminophen. Additionally, applying a topical pain relief cream or gel to the affected areas can also help. Make sure to rest and avoid activities that worsen the pain. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please seek medical attention for further evaluation and treatment.
