I've been experiencing some unusual symptoms and I'm getting a bit worried. A few days ago, I had trouble breathing, and then I started feeling pain in my ribs that moved towards my left chest. It happened again recently, and I'm concerned it might be related to a heart issue. Could you please advise me on what this could be or suggest any treatment?

View allI'm really concerned about my mom's health. She's had a history of cardiac attacks and has been on various medications since her last one. Right now, she takes Arkamin in the morning and night, and Ecosprin 75 in the afternoon. She also uses Nexpro 40 and Ganaton 50mg for acidity. The problem is that her blood pressure is consistently around 160-170100 throughout the day, even with medication. There are times it might drop to 13070, but it doesn't last. We've had all these tests done, like Thyrocare X, ECG, and ECO, and everything comes back normal. What's puzzling and worrying is that she's very sensitive to light and sound, her heartbeat increases when exposed to these, especially in the evening. Plus, she feels like her heart skips a beat when there's noise. She's been eating really light and avoiding spicy food, following her angiography back in 2013 where the doctor recommended sticking to medication. I'm really trying to understand why these symptoms are persisting now and what steps we should take next. Any insights?
It seems like your mother is experiencing uncontrolled high blood pressure despite taking Arkamin and Ecosprin. Given her symptoms of sensitivity to light and sound, along with the fluctuating blood pressure readings, it is important to address this issue promptly. Considering her history of cardiac issues, it is crucial to optimize her blood pressure control. I would recommend adding a medication like Telma 40mg once daily to help lower her blood pressure more effectively. Additionally, since she is experiencing acidity, she can continue taking Nexpro 40 for that. In order to address her sensitivity to light and sound, it may be beneficial to consult with an ophthalmologist and an ENT specialist to rule out any underlying issues. It is also important to continue monitoring her blood pressure regularly and make lifestyle modifications such as reducing stress, maintaining a healthy diet, and engaging in regular physical activity. Overall, the addition of Telma 40mg to her current medication regimen may help better control her blood pressure and alleviate some of her symptoms. Regular follow-up with her healthcare provider is essential to monitor her progress.

My mom's been dealing with pain in her left arm and shoulder for a couple of years now. The doctors prescribed ecosprin 75mg, lipicure 20mg, and monit GTN 2.6, and she's been on these for the past two years. They also mentioned doing tests like HTN and CAD to figure out what's going on. I'm wondering what specific tests she should have and how much they might cost. Any guidance would be really helpful!
