I've been feeling some pain in the middle of my chest, right at the top, for the last couple of months, and it seems to be getting worse every day. I've also been dealing with catarrh for a few years now. Could these be related, and should I be worried about this chest pain getting worse?

I've been having this stabbing chest pain for the past couple of days, especially when I laugh or cough. I've already tried taking Rantac and Gelusil, but it hasn't helped at all. It's making me feel really uneasy. Can you tell me what's going on or what I should do?

I'm thinking about trying EECP therapy for my dad. He had a heart attack two years ago and he's got a stent in one artery, while the other two are clogged with 90% and 80% blockages. I've heard a lot of positive things about this natural bypass therapy, and some hospitals do offer it. But I'm just not sure about the results. Is it really effective? Or would angioplasty be the better option here?

EECP therapy can be a beneficial option for your father's condition. It is a non-invasive treatment that can help improve blood flow to the heart muscle by promoting the development of collateral circulation. However, in the case of significant blockages like 90% and 80% in his arteries, angioplasty may be a more suitable option to directly address the blockages. For the blockages your father has, angioplasty with stent placement may be recommended to open up the blocked arteries and improve blood flow to the heart. This procedure can help reduce symptoms and lower the risk of future heart-related complications. I recommend discussing these treatment options with your father's cardiologist to determine the most appropriate course of action based on his individual condition and medical history.

I'm a bit concerned because this morning and afternoon I noticed I'm having some trouble with shortness of breath and some on-and-off pain in my left armpit area. I went for a 4 km walk this evening and felt a bit better afterward, with not as much shortness of breath. Could these symptoms be related to my recent COVID recovery a few months ago? I used fabiflu, dolo, and multivitamins during that time. Also, I've had gastric issues that seem to have worsened post-COVID, and I'm on suloxid o for that. What could be going on with me?

take pantop 40 mg for 3days
