I've been feeling really worn out and having a hard time sleeping because of my breathing troubles. I recently found out my ejection fraction is at 40. I'm super worried about it and want to know what I can do to feel better and improve my situation. Any advice on how to handle this?

I've been having this pain on the left side of my chest for the past couple of days. I initially thought it was just gas, but today it felt like someone was squeezing my heart for about 5 minutes. Should I be worried about this?

Based on your symptoms, it is important to rule out any serious underlying conditions such as a heart attack. It is recommended to seek immediate medical attention. In the meantime, you can take Aspirin 325mg for possible heart-related pain.

I'm dealing with constrictive pericarditis and was admitted to Sri Satya Sai Hospital. They won't operate because my white blood cell count is low. They recommended getting my WBC up before they proceed with the surgery. Could you suggest how I can increase my WBC levels within 10-15 days?

To increase your WBC count, you can take Filgrastim (brand name Neupogen) at a dosage of 5-10 mcgkgday. This medication can help stimulate the production of white blood cells in your body. Additionally, you can also consider taking Granulocyte Colony-Stimulating Factor (G-CSF) medications such as Pegfilgrastim (brand name Neulasta) at a dosage of 6 mg per chemotherapy cycle. These medications can help boost your WBC count within the specified timeframe.

I'm 20 and have had high BP for a year now. I used to take Metosartan 5040 but my doctor just switched it to Stamlo Beta. Is this a good change for me?
