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 currently taking telmisat 40 mg and ctd 6.25 along with amlosafe 5mg as you suggested. My blood pressure was initially 15097, and while the upper number has dropped to 130, the lower part is still around 100. Do you have any advice on what I should do next?
it seems like your systolic blood pressure has improved from 150 to 130 but the diastolic blood pressure is still elevated around 97. To further manage your blood pressure, I recommend adding a diuretic such as Hydrochlorothiazide 12.5 mg to your current regimen. This will help lower your diastolic blood pressure effectively. Please consult with your healthcare provider for proper monitoring and adjustment of your medication."

I'm really worried about my 72-year-old mom. She had an angioplasty last month and didn't have any pain after, but she's developed this really bad dry cough. She's on a bunch of meds: clopilet, ecosprin, prolomet, ivabrad, lipicure, pantocid, and piriton syrup, plus aldactone. Do you think any of these could be causing her cough, or is there something else we should be looking into? I really want to help her get some relief. What do you suggest?
That could be due to side effect of one of the medicines that your using visit your doctor for switch of the medicine and maintain healthy lifestyle
