Ive been experiencing some pain in the heart area of my chest whenever I bend backwards and raise my hands. It just started this morning. Yesterday, I was doing deep breathing exercises for PMR and some physical workouts. Do you think there's an issue if I use a spray like Volini on that area?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Applying Volini spray on the chest area for chest pain is not recommended, especially if the pain is in the heart area and is triggered by specific movements. It is important to rule out any underlying heart issues before using any topical pain relief medication. I recommend you to consult a doctor for proper evaluation and diagnosis.

View allI'm kind of worried because all of a sudden my heart started racing, and when I went to the hospital, they checked my blood pressure and gave me these BP tablets. I've been taking them, but I'm wondering if I should keep taking them or if it's okay to stop. What should I do?
Sudden increase in heart rate can be concerning. It's important to follow the advice of your healthcare provider regarding the medication. If you were given medication for high blood pressure, it's important to continue taking it as prescribed. Stopping the medication abruptly can be harmful. If you have any concerns or experience any side effects, please consult your healthcare provider for further guidance.

I've been taking some medication for high blood pressure and a high heart rate, which was prescribed for a month. After just a couple of days, my BP and heart rate are back to normal. Do I still need to keep taking the tablets for a full month even if everything seems okay now? Is there a chance the medicine could make my blood pressure and heart rate drop too low?
It is important to continue taking the medication for the full duration as prescribed by your doctor. Abruptly stopping the medication can lead to a sudden increase in blood pressure and heart rate. The medication is likely helping to regulate your blood pressure and heart rate, so it is important to complete the full course to ensure long-term control. It is unlikely that the medication will cause low blood pressure and low heart rate now, especially if your levels are currently normal. However, if you experience any unusual symptoms or side effects, it is important to consult your doctor for further evaluation and guidance.

Why are young people who are fit suddenly having heart attacks? It's really worrying because even those who keep up with their fitness are facing these heart problems at such a young age. Can you explain why this is happening and suggest some preventive measures we can take against this serious issue?
There are several factors that can contribute to this, including genetics, lifestyle choices, and underlying health conditions. Preventive measures include maintaining a healthy diet, regular exercise, avoiding smoking, managing stress, and getting regular check-ups with your healthcare provider. In terms of medication, aspirin can be used as a preventive measure for heart attacks. Low-dose aspirin (75-100mg) taken daily can help reduce the risk of heart attacks in high-risk individuals. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new medication regimen.
