I've been experiencing this heavy feeling in my chest, and sometimes there's a little pain too. It's been going on for about a month now, maybe 34 days. I haven't really had any medical issues before this, so I'm not sure what's going on. Could this be something serious? Should I get it checked out?

Is it safe to take serratiopeptidase for pain relief if I had bypass surgery two years ago and am currently on clopidogrel and aspirin

Serratiopeptidase should be avoided with blood thinners like clopidogrel and aspirin; always consult your cardiologist first.

I'm currently on clopidogrel 75 mg and aspirin 75 mg daily. I'm thinking of switching to clopitab CV 20 mg instead. Is it okay for my health to stop the aspirin and just take clopitab CV 20 mg? Would love to hear your opinion on whether this is a good idea or not.

NO u have to continue all the medications including aspirin also.

I'm a 28-year-old guy dealing with costochondritis and whenever I visit the doctor, my heart rate skyrockets and my blood pressure goes up, but when I'm back home, everything seems to settle down to normal. I'm really anxious about this. Could you help me understand what's happening and any suggestions on what I could do?

Your symptoms suggest white coat hypertension and anxiety, common in people with costochondritis; to manage anxiety, consider relaxation techniques like deep breathing, progressive muscle relaxation, or meditation, and for white coat hypertension, ask your doctor about ambulatory blood pressure monitoring or home blood pressure tracking to get accurate readings and alleviate anxiety-related spikes.
