I've been experiencing some chest pain when I'm jogging or running. My diagnosis results, including the echo and ECG, came back normal. Could you please help me understand what might be causing this kind of pain?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Chest pain during physical activity like jogging and running, with normal results on echo and ECG, could be due to musculoskeletal causes such as muscle strain or costochondritis. It could also be related to conditions like acid reflux or anxiety. You can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen for muscle pain, or antacids for acid reflux. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques for anxiety may also help. If the pain persists or worsens, further evaluation may be needed.

View allI'm really worried because her entire body is getting swollen and the doctor mentioned something about heart enlargement with fluid buildup. She seems to only stay healthy and not get swollen if she consistently takes her medication and injections to remove the fluid. What's this condition called, how serious is it, and what can be done to help her live a healthier, longer life? I'd really appreciate any advice.
It sounds like your loved one is experiencing symptoms of congestive heart failure, which is a serious condition where the heart is unable to pump blood effectively, leading to fluid buildup in the body. To manage this condition and improve her health and longevity, she will need to take medications such as Furosemide (Lasix) to help remove excess fluid from the body. Additionally, medications like Lisinopril (Zestril) or Carvedilol (Coreg) may be prescribed to help the heart function better and reduce symptoms. It is important for her to follow a low-sodium diet, monitor her fluid intake, and regularly follow up with her healthcare provider for proper management of her condition.

Which arm to measure blood pressure right or left?
Both the arms can be used for BP measurement and sometimes, your doctor might take two readings from two arms to check for any variations too. Generally, it's best to take your blood pressure from your left arm if you are right-handed.

I'm curious about how long the TMT test results are valid for. Are they considered accurate or reliable for a specific period, like one month, two months, or maybe six months? I just want to ensure I'm understanding it right.
The TMT (Treadmill Test) is a diagnostic test used to evaluate the heart's response to exercise. The validity of a TMT test result depends on various factors such as the individual's medical history, risk factors, and current symptoms. In general, the validity of a TMT test result is not based on a specific time frame like 1 month, 2 months, or 6 months. It is more about the current health status of the individual at the time of the test. If you have concerns about the validity of a previous TMT test result, it is best to consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and guidance.
