I've been experiencing this weird, sharp or cramping pain on the right side of my chest whenever I walk for a while, but it stops immediately after I stop walking. I've already gotten a chest X-ray and a sonography, and both came back normal. Do you have any idea what could be causing this?

View allI've had angioplasty done and have a stent implanted. My doctor recommended some drugs from companies like Sun Pharma, MacLeod, and Lupin, but they're a bit pricey for me. Are there other reputable brands that make equivalent quality medications for Rozavel 2mg, Prax A 75mg, and Voglimac GM 2mg at a lower cost? Also, can I ask the pharmacy for generic versions of cholesterol-lowering drugs if I have a prescription for the more expensive branded ones? Are generics reliable when it comes to quality assurance and control?
Substitute for rozavel 2mg: You can consider Atorva 20mg (Atorvastatin) from Cipla or Rosuvast 10mg (Rosuvastatin) from Torrent Pharmaceuticals. Substitute for Prax A 75mg: You can try Clopid 75mg (Clopidogrel) from Intas Pharmaceuticals or Plavix 75mg (Clopidogrel) from Sanofi. Substitute for voglimac gm 2mg: You may opt for Glycomet GP 2 (Metformin + Glimepiride) from USV or Glyciphage G1 (Metformin + Glimepiride) from Franco-Indian Pharmaceuticals. Regarding generic cholesterol-reducing drugs, yes, you can purchase generic versions of cholesterol-lowering medications with a prescription from your doctor. Generic medications are generally considered to be equivalent in quality to their brand-name counterparts as they undergo the same rigorous testing for quality assurance (QA) and quality control (QC) by regulatory authorities.

I've been struggling with high blood pressure for the past five or six years. I've tried Ayurvedic medicines, but they dont seem to be giving me much relief. I'm worried and wondering if I should consider other treatment options. Any advice on what I might do to manage this better?
For the high blood pressure that you have been experiencing for the last five-six years, it is important to consider switching to allopathic medications for better control. I recommend starting with a medication called Amlodipine (brand name Norvasc) at a starting dose of 5mg once daily. This medication is commonly used to treat high blood pressure and can help lower your blood pressure effectively. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and monitoring of your condition.

I'm a bit worried because I woke up this morning with my heart racing and ended up going to the ER. They told me I have PSVT and PVC. It felt like my heart stopped and then started again, but they said my echo was normal. Are these arrhythmias something I should be concerned about?
PSVT and PVC can be concerning but are usually not life-threatening. However, it is important to manage them to prevent complications. For PSVT, medications like Verapamil or Metoprolol can be prescribed to control heart rate during episodes. For PVC, if symptoms are bothersome, medications like Propranolol can be used to reduce their frequency. Regular follow-up with a cardiologist is recommended to monitor your condition and adjust treatment as needed.
