I've been dealing with chest pain for the past one and a half months. I've had a chest X-ray, ECG, Echo, and TMT done, and all the reports came back normal. I even went to a cardiologist, and he said it's not related to my heart. The pain started about a week after I found out I have high BP. I'm currently taking Prolomet AM, Pantocid IT, Drise 60k, and Rozavel. The pain feels like muscle pain on the upper side of my chest, on both sides. Sometimes, it feels like a pinch all over my chest. It also extends to my underarms and neck occasionally, and I feel tightness, especially on the upper right side of my chest. I sometimes have itching in my chest and sensations below my chin and jawline. What's strange is that I feel a bit better after some physical activity, like exercising or walking. Could you help me figure out what's going on? What should I do next?

View allI'm a bit concerned about the price of my uncle's medication. He's been using Stamlo T to control his BP, but it costs INR 100 per strip, which seems quite steep. I found another medicine, OZOTELAM, that reportedly has the same composition and only costs INR 20 per strip. Why is there such a big price difference between these meds if they have the same ingredients? Also, would it be safe for my uncle to switch to OZOTELAM since it's more affordable, and is the composition truly identical, or am I missing something? Looking forward to your advice.

I'm really concerned about my grandfather lately. He's been dealing with high blood pressure and hypertension, but now his feet are swelling and he's having chest pains too. He's currently taking gtn sorbitrate 2.6 cr twice a day and amlokind 10 mg, plus he uses a quikhale 250 sf inhaler. Could you help me understand why his feet might be swelling and suggest a medication that might help?
Swelling in the feet can be a common symptom in patients with high blood pressure and hypertension, especially in elderly individuals. It can be due to fluid retention caused by the heart's inability to pump blood effectively. In this case, considering your grandfather's age and existing conditions, it is important to address the underlying cause of the swelling. To help reduce the swelling in his feet, I recommend prescribing a diuretic medication such as Furosemide (Lasix) 20mg once daily. This medication will help to remove excess fluid from his body and alleviate the swelling in his feet. Additionally, given his chest pains, it is crucial to ensure that his heart health is well managed. I suggest adding Aspirin 81mg once daily to help reduce the risk of blood clots and relieve chest pain. Please consult with your grandfather's healthcare provider before starting any new medication to ensure it is safe and appropriate for his specific medical condition.

I'm 25, and I've been dealing with this on-and-off pain in my left arm for about 15-20 days now. It was sharp and shooting at first, so I thought it might be gastritis, but now the pain's more dull and constant. Lately, for about a week, I've been feeling breathless sometimes, and there's some nausea too. I get tired pretty quick and now there's this annoying discomfort in my upper back. Should I be looking into any specific tests or is there something else I should be considering?
MRI of the left arm and ortho opinion is advised
