Question 2

I've been having this pain under my left rib that keeps coming and going, and it's been like this for a few days now. It actually just got worse today. Any idea what might be causing it? It's starting to worry me a bit.

Accepted Answer

Aching under the rib on the left side, with pain coming and going since the last few days could be due to various reasons such as muscle strain, gastritis, or even a possible issue with the spleen. However, since the pain has aggravated today, it is important to rule out any serious conditions such as pancreatitis or a kidney infection. I recommend taking a mild pain reliever like acetaminophen (Tylenol) for the pain, and also consider taking an antacid like omeprazole (Prilosec) if you suspect it could be related to gastritis. It is important to rest, avoid heavy meals, and stay hydrated. If the pain persists or worsens, please seek medical attention for further evaluation and management.

Question 3

I'm 23 and don't have any bad habits like alcohol or smoking, but because of my IT job, I'm sitting in front of a laptop a lot. I do eat fast food occasionally. Recently, I've felt a needle-like pain in my right upper chest that only lasts a second, ...

Accepted Answer

It's important to address your concerns. The needle-like pain sensation in your right upper chest, occurring briefly, could be related to musculoskeletal issues or even gastric problems. Given your sedentary lifestyle and stress levels, it's advisable to incorporate some physical activity into your routine. To help with your gastric issues, you can try taking Omeprazole 20mg once daily before breakfast for a few weeks. Additionally, for your heart health and to manage stress, you can consider taking Propranolol 20mg twice daily. However, it's crucial to consult a healthcare professional for a proper evaluation and personalized treatment plan.

Question 4

I'm experiencing just mild chest pain that's been on the left side and it's been going on since morning. It hasn't stopped. What would you suggest I do?

Accepted Answer

Chest pain, especially if it's persistent and on the left side, can be concerning. It's important to rule out any serious conditions like a heart attack. I recommend taking a tablet of Aspirin 325mg immediately and seeking medical help. Aspirin can help reduce the risk of blood clots. It's important to get evaluated by a healthcare professional as soon as possible to determine the cause of your chest pain.

Question 6

I'm taking Concor Cor 2.5mg and I'm worried about stopping it. Is there any chance it could be dangerous to quit suddenly? I really want to know if there's a safe way to completely stop using it without any risks.

Accepted Answer

Concor Cor 2.5mg is used to treat high blood pressure and certain heart conditions. It contains the active ingredient Bisoprolol. Abruptly stopping Concor Cor can lead to rebound hypertension and other serious complications. To safely withdraw from Concor Cor, it is important to gradually reduce the dosage under the supervision of a healthcare provider. They may recommend tapering off the medication slowly over a period of time to minimize the risk of withdrawal symptoms.
