I've been dealing with constant chest pain for the last two months, and I'm 32. Could this be a sign of a heart problem, or is it just gas? The pain isn't spreading to other areas, and I'm not sure what's going on. Any insights?

Based on your description of constant chest pain for the past 2 months with no pain in any other area, it is important to rule out any potential heart-related issues. I recommend you take an over-the-counter antacid like Tums (calcium carbonate) for immediate relief if it is related to gas. However, it is crucial to consult a doctor for further evaluation and consider taking a low dose of aspirin for heart health.

I'm experiencing something that's got me really concerned. Whenever I stand up, I suddenly feel dizzy, everything seems to go black for a moment, and I start sweating. I can't keep my balance and need to hold onto something to avoid falling over. This isn't just a one-time thing; it happens a lot. I've even fainted a couple of times because of it. Do you have any idea what could be causing this?

I'm just curious about some things regarding my health. I had a CT angio three years ago and it came back normal. Im wondering, how long are these results usually considered valid or acceptable? Also, Ive been on Lodoz 2.5 for about three months now. Before I started the medication, my blood pressure was around 120 to 130, and it's still in that range after taking the medicine. However, I've noticed my heart rate is now between 55 and 65. Is that normal, or should I be thinking about stopping the meds? By the way, I'm 5'7" and weigh 82 kg. Any advice on this would really help!

A normal CT angiography from three years ago is generally considered reliable, but its crucial to continue regular check-ups, especially if you have ongoing symptoms or risk factors for heart disease. Lodoz (which contains bisoprolol and hydrochlorothiazide) is prescribed to manage blood pressure and heart rate. Your current blood pressure of 120-130 mmHg and heart rate of 55-65 bpm are within reasonable ranges, especially if you are asymptomatic. Do not stop your medication without consulting your healthcare provider, as they can assess your overall health, review your medication needs, and decide on the best course of action. They might also suggest lifestyle changes, such as regular exercise, a healthy diet, and weight management, to further support your heart health.

I've been having chest pain for the past 56 days and it started with my back. I've done an ECG three times and an ECO once. My blood pressure is 14090, and I'm on Hifen Pofloxacin 400, Ecosprin 75, Amlovas 20, and a PPI as prescribed by my physician, but the pain in my chest is still there. Sometimes it even goes to my left hand. What should I do now?

Based on your symptoms and medications, it seems like you may be experiencing chest pain due to cardiac issues. Since the pain is still persistent and sometimes radiates to your left hand, it is important to seek further medical evaluation. I recommend that you consult with your physician to consider adjusting your current medication regimen. In the meantime, you can take a nitroglycerin tablet for immediate relief of chest pain. Additionally, it would be beneficial to undergo further cardiac investigations such as a stress test or coronary angiography to rule out any underlying heart conditions.
