I've been having chest pain for a couple of days now, and it's pretty constant, especially when I'm just sitting or lying down. Plus, sometimes I get this pain in my shoulder and neck, and even occasionally a stomach ache. I'm 20, I don't smoke or drink, and I'm not overweight. Could this be something serious like a heart attack or angina? I'm kinda worried and not sure what to do.

Based on your symptoms and age, it is less likely to be a heart attack or angina. However, chest pain should never be ignored. It is important to rule out any serious conditions. You may be experiencing musculoskeletal pain or acid reflux. I recommend taking over-the-counter antacids like Tums for stomach ache and trying ibuprofen for pain relief. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

View allI'm really worried about my dad. He had an angioplasty 5 days ago and now he's got a fever, like 101F. His face and neck feel warm, but not his arms and legs. Plus, he's got a cough with white phlegm. I've been giving him paracetamol and he's taking lizolid and ceftum twice a day, like the doctor said. Is this something normal after such a procedure, or should I be concerned?
It is not uncommon to have a fever after a surgical procedure like angioplasty, but it is important to monitor it closely. The symptoms of fever and cough with white phlegm could indicate an infection. The medications you have mentioned are appropriate for such symptoms. Continue giving him paracetamol for fever. Additionally, ensure he completes the full course of antibiotics - lizolid and ceftum - as prescribed. Monitor his temperature regularly and if the fever persists or if he develops any new symptoms, please consult with his healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I've been feeling this dull pain near my shoulder or armpit, and I'm starting to worry if it might be cardiac-related. Though, it could just be a muscle strain, like what WebMD is suggesting. I wanted to get some opinions to understand what might be going on. Could it really be something related to the heart, or is it more likely muscular?
