I've been experiencing some concerning health issues lately and could really use some guidance. I'm 32, from Hyderabad, and generally healthyI don't smoke and only drink beer like once in every three or four months. I used to be really active with running, climbing, and cycling, even training for triathlons. But around five months ago, I started having chest pain that spreads to my back and left arm, especially when I'm lying down. Despite having had an ECG, echo, TMT, troponin, and a CT angiography, all these tests came back negative. The only thing I've been diagnosed with is high heart rate, for which I'm on medication. This has helped bring down the chest pain but not completely. Now, for the past month, I've had intense headaches and dizziness that make me feel like I might just collapse. Last night was particularly bad with the headache and chest pain. I'm really worried and not sure how to proceed. Could you advise on what might be causing this and what I should do next?

It sounds like you are experiencing a combination of chest pain, back pain, left arm pain, headaches, and dizziness. Since your cardiac tests have come back negative and you are already being treated for high heart beats, it is important to consider other possible causes for your symptoms. The chest pain, back pain, and left arm pain could be related to musculoskeletal issues or nerve impingement. For your headache and dizziness, it may be helpful to explore the possibility of migraines or other neurological conditions. I recommend trying a medication like Acetaminophen for your headache and pain relief. For your ongoing chest pain, back pain, and left arm pain, you can try a muscle relaxant like Cyclobenzaprine. Additionally, for your high heart beats, you can continue with the medication prescribed by your doctor. However, it is important to follow up with your healthcare provider to discuss these new symptoms and explore further evaluation or treatment options.

View allI've been experiencing this sharp, stinging pain in my chest and it seems to spread throughout my body. It's making me feel really disoriented. I'm getting a bit worried because it's happening more often. What could this possibly be, and should I be concerned enough to get it checked out?
These symptoms could be indicative of a heart-related issue such as a heart attack. It is important to seek immediate medical attention. In the meantime, you can take Aspirin 325mg to help with potential heart-related pain.

I'm really worried about my brother Jiten, who was in the cardiac care unit recently. He's just 28 and now that he's home, his blood pressure keeps dropping in the evening, and he starts vomiting. After that, his skin turns pale and he experiences pain in his right calf. I'm also noticing that he's coughing a bit. The hospital stay was stable after his procedure with the AICD implant, but I'm worried about these symptoms popping up. His meds include things like concor, aldactone, and levoflox among others. Could you advise on what might help him recover better and keep these symptoms in check?
To address the symptoms of low blood pressure, vomiting, pale skin, calf pain, and cough, the following adjustments can be made to the medication regimen: 1. **Low Blood Pressure and Vomiting**: Given the symptoms of low blood pressure and vomiting, it is important to review the medications that may be contributing to these side effects. In this case, Dytor 10mg (Torsemide) is a diuretic that can lower blood pressure and cause electrolyte imbalances leading to vomiting. It may be advisable to reduce the dosage of Dytor or consider an alternative diuretic. 2. **Pale Skin and Calf Pain**: The symptoms of pale skin and calf pain could be indicative of poor blood circulation. To address this, it is important to ensure adequate hydration and blood flow. Aldactone 25mg (Spironolactone) can sometimes cause electrolyte imbalances leading to symptoms like calf pain. Monitoring electrolyte levels and adjusting the dosage of Aldactone may be beneficial. 3. **Cough**: If the cough persists, it may be related to heart failure or respiratory issues. Dapaone 10mg (Dapagliflozin) is a medication used to treat heart failure. However, if the cough is persistent and bothersome, a review of the medication regimen and potential respiratory evaluation may be necessary. 4. **Overall Recommendation**: Considering the symptoms described, it may be beneficial to consult with the healthcare provider who prescribed the medications. Adjustments in medication dosages or alternative medications may be necessary to address the symptoms of low blood pressure, vomiting, pale skin, calf pain, and cough effectively. Please note that any changes to the medication regimen should be done under the supervision and guidance of a healthcare professional. Regular monitoring and follow-up with the healthcare provider are essential for optimal management of these symptoms.
