I've been dealing with this chest pain on the right side for about 34 months now. It's not constant but pops up every 10 to 15 days and only lasts for about 5 to 10 seconds. It's starting to make me a bit nervous, and I was wondering if there are any tests you think I should get done?

It is important to investigate the cause of your chest pain. I recommend you to undergo an ECG (Electrocardiogram) to check your heart's electrical activity, and an X-ray or CT scan of the chest to rule out any structural issues. Additionally, a blood test to check for cardiac enzymes and lipid profile may also be beneficial in assessing your heart health.

View allI'm really worried because my wife's blood pressure is really low, and she's in a critical condition right now. Can you suggest some medicine that I can give her to help stabilize it? Any advice would be appreciated.
Low blood pressure, also known as hypotension, can be a serious condition. It is important to seek medical help immediately if your wife is in a critical condition due to low blood pressure. In the meantime, you can give her oral rehydration solutions to help maintain her fluid and electrolyte balance. Additionally, you can consider using Fludrocortisone at a dosage of 0.1-0.2 mg daily to help raise her blood pressure. However, please remember that these are temporary measures and she should still seek medical attention as soon as possible.

My creatinine level is at 1.3, which I understand is borderline. I'm considering going for coronary angiography but I'm a bit worried. Is it safe to proceed, and if so, what precautions should I be aware of?
If creatinine is at the borderline level of 1.3, it is important to assess the overall kidney function before proceeding with coronary angiography. Precautions that should be taken include ensuring adequate hydration before and after the procedure, monitoring kidney function closely, and considering the use of contrast media with lower nephrotoxicity. Additionally, medications such as N-acetylcysteine and sodium bicarbonate may be considered to help protect the kidneys during the procedure.
