I'm worried because I've been having chest pain for the past couple of days. It's not constant but comes and goes, and there's this burning sensation with it. Plus, my whole body just hurts. What could this mean?

Overall the possibility of a heart problem seems to be less but without doing any objective test, a heart problem can not be conclusively ruled out especially because now a days heart diseases have become common in young people. So please meet a cardiologist as early as possible and get yourself properly

I'm a bit concerned because my systolic blood pressure has been hovering around 130, but I've noticed that my diastolic is consistently above 90 or even 95. I'm really worried about why my diastolic BP is always on the higher side. Could you tell me what kind of tests or investigations might be needed for this?

I have dental caries in 89 teeth and need extractions but I'm on Clopilet A 75 for my CAD with a stent. My dentist says to stop antiplatelet meds for a week before surgery but I'm not sure if it's safe. I take Metrogyl and Augmentin occasionally for infections and mostly eat soft foods. Can I really pause my antiplatelet meds for that long without risking my heart?

It's understandable to be concerned about stopping your antiplatelet medication. While some dentists recommend pausing antiplatelet drugs before dental extractions, it's generally not considered necessary, especially for procedures like extractions that have a low risk of bleeding. Dental extractions can be performed safely without stopping these medications as long as appropriate local hemostatic measures are taken.

Ive been getting this warm sensation near my left ribs and just below my breast lately. I went for a master checkup and had an ECG and 2D Echo done, and everything came back normal. But I couldn't do the TMT test because of an ACL ligament tear, so walking on the treadmill isn't an option for me. Do you think I need the TMT or any other tests to make sure it's not a heart issue?

Since your ECG and 2D Echo reports are normal, it is less likely that the heat feeling near your left ribs and below your breast is related to a heart issue. However, considering your symptoms, it may still be beneficial to undergo further testing to rule out any other potential causes. One option could be a CT scan or MRI to evaluate the area near your left ribs and below your breast for any abnormalities. Additionally, a consultation with a gastroenterologist may also be helpful to assess for any gastrointestinal issues that could be causing your symptoms.
