I've been experiencing a lot of stiffness in my chest lately, and sometimes there's this pain that pops up on the left side, right side, or even in the center of my chest. I've had a chest CT, blood tests, and even an abdominal CT and ultrasound, and everything seems to come back normal. It's just really confusing and a bit worrying. What could be causing this if all the tests are normal?

View allI'm dealing with mitral valve prolapse with some mild regurgitation, and I've been on Cardivas for my blood pressure. My doctor mentioned it might also help with MVP. However, I've been having issues with sexual dysfunction, so my doctor switched me to Nebicard. I'm curious which medication, Cardivas or Nebicard, is better for managing both my blood pressure and mitigating any sexual side effects. Any insights would be really helpful.
Both Cardivas and Nebicard are beta blockers commonly used to treat conditions like high blood pressure and certain heart conditions. In your case, both medications can help with mitral valve prolapse (MVP) with mild regurgitation by reducing the workload on the heart and helping to control heart rate. Regarding sexual dysfunction, some beta blockers like Cardivas can potentially cause sexual side effects such as erectile dysfunction. Nebicard is a newer generation beta blocker that is less likely to cause sexual dysfunction compared to older beta blockers like Cardivas. Therefore, Nebicard may be a better option for you if sexual dysfunction is a concern. In terms of controlling blood pressure, both Cardivas and Nebicard are effective medications. However, Nebicard may be a preferred choice if you are experiencing sexual side effects with Cardivas. Ultimately, the decision between Cardivas and Nebicard should be made in consultation with your healthcare provider, taking into consideration your individual health needs and any potential side effects you may be experiencing.

I'm experiencing this needle-like pain in my chest that comes and goes. Sometimes it's in my arms and hands too. I'm not sure if it's due to stress or something else, but it's been happening for the last 2 to 3 weeks. I've been on TB medication for about 6 months now, and there's also this numbness in my feet. I'm really concerned and need some guidance. I've attached my CECT report. What could be causing these symptoms?
It's important to address chest pain, especially if it is recurrent and accompanied by symptoms like numbness in your feet. Given that you are currently on tuberculosis (TB) medication, some of these medications can have side effects, including peripheral neuropathy, which may explain the numbness in your feet. The needle-like chest pain and discomfort in your arms and hands could be related to several factors, including stress, side effects from your medication, or other medical conditions. I recommend discussing these symptoms with your healthcare provider, who may consider further evaluation such as a detailed physical examination, additional blood tests to check for side effects of TB medications, and possibly an ECG or other cardiac tests to rule out any heart-related issues.
