I've been having this burning sensation in the upper back, right at the center, since this morning. It's really bothering me, and I'm not sure if it's something serious or if I'm overthinking it. Could it be a sign of something I should be worried about, or is it just something that happens sometimes? Would really appreciate your thoughts on this.

View allMy mom had an angioplasty last month, and she's been on medication since. We've been wondering about stopping Daxid 50 because she's feeling better, but we're worried about any possible side effects from stopping it suddenly and if it's a habit-forming medication. Could you provide some guidance?
It is important not to stop Daxid 50 (Sertraline) suddenly without consulting the doctor. Abrupt discontinuation of this medication can lead to withdrawal symptoms such as dizziness, nausea, headache, fatigue, and irritability. It is recommended to gradually taper off the dose under the guidance of a healthcare professional to minimize the risk of withdrawal effects. So, please consult your mother's doctor before making any changes to her medication regimen.

I'm 32 and weigh 45 kg, and I've been experiencing frequent breathlessness and sometimes chest pain. My doctor recommended some tests like an ECG, an echocardiogram, and a blood test. I'm really worried because I've heard that getting an echocardiogram might not be safe for the heart. I'm scared of going through with it. What should I do?
Echocardiogram is a safe and commonly used test to assess the structure and function of the heart. It uses sound waves to create a moving picture of the heart, allowing doctors to see how well the heart is pumping blood and detect any abnormalities. It is a valuable tool in diagnosing various heart conditions. In your case, since you are experiencing symptoms like breathlessness and chest pain, it is important to follow your doctor's recommendations for further testing. The information obtained from the echocardiogram, along with the other tests like ECG and blood test, will help your doctor make an accurate diagnosis and determine the appropriate treatment plan for you. There is no need to be afraid of the echocardiogram test as it is a non-invasive procedure and does not involve any radiation exposure. It is important to follow through with the recommended tests to ensure your heart health is properly evaluated.
