I've been having chest pain and got a 2D echo, ECG, blood work, and an X-ray done. The doctor said everything looks normal, but I noticed some black marks on the left side of the diaphragm in the X-ray. Could you tell me what these might be? I'm a bit concerned.

My mother has congestive heart failure and her doctor recommended she take Azmarda 100mg twice a day. I'm wondering if there's a more affordable alternative to Azmarda 100mg that would still be effective? Were keeping an eye on costs and just trying to find the best option for her treatment.

for your mother's condition of congestive cardiac failure, an alternative to Amzarda 100mg that is more cost-effective is Losartan 50mg. It can be taken once daily and is a good option for managing heart failure while being more affordable."

I've been having a bunch of symptoms lately that are starting to worry me. I feel like I'm always out of breath, and sometimes I get really dizzy out of nowhere. Fatigue has been a constant partner, and I've even fainted a couple of times, which is super scary. My head feels heavy, and I'm always tired no matter how much I sleep. On top of all that, I can't shake these negative thoughts and just feel so lazy all the time. Does this sound like something I should be concerned about, and what could be causing it?
