I've been having this odd pinching sensation on my left side, and my doctor suggested getting a 2D Echo and an ECG. They said everything came back normal, but now I'm finding it harder to breathe. I'm not really sure what's going on. Can anyone offer a second opinion on this? I've got my 2D Echo and ECG reports attached.

Based on the symptoms you are experiencing and the normal results of your 2d Echo and Ecg, it is possible that you may be dealing with a respiratory issue. I recommend trying an inhaler such as Salbutamol (Ventolin) 100mcg, 2 puffs as needed for shortness of breath. Additionally, you can consider using a steroid inhaler like Fluticasone (Flovent) 100mcg, 2 puffs twice a day to help with any underlying inflammation in the airways. It would also be beneficial to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and possible pulmonary function tests.

View allI'm a bit concerned because I had a PTCA procedure about 14 months ago. Now, my doctor is suggesting I stop taking Axcer 90 mg twice daily for 5 days and just stick with Ecosprin 75 mg once a day. This is supposed to be for a CT-guided biopsy because I've got multiple lymph nodes in my abdomen. Is this safe, and should I be worried about any risks with stopping Axcer?
yes.

I'm a bit concerned about a medication change I went through. So, originally, I was prescribed Telma 40 AMH at Pace Hospital in Hyderabad, but I started experiencing some leg swelling. Then, at Manipal Hospital in Vijayawada, they switched me over to Cinod T, and I've been on it for about two months now. Should I keep taking the Cinod T, or do you think the original Telma 40 AMH was adequate? Could the leg swelling have been something I should worry about related to the Telma 40 AMH, or is it safe to switch back?
Telma 40 AMH is a combination drug containing Telmisartan and Amlodipine, which is commonly used to treat high blood pressure. Cinod T is a combination drug containing Cilnidipine and Telmisartan, also used for high blood pressure. Since you experienced leg swelling with Telma 40 AMH, it may be advisable to continue with Cinod T as prescribed by Manipal, Vijayawada. Cinod T can be continued if it is effectively controlling your blood pressure without causing any significant side effects. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and monitoring.

I was recently diagnosed with mild AR 3rd valve and I'm a bit worried how serious is this condition? Is surgery the only option or can it be managed with medications? Also, I have allergic bronchitis that flares up during allergy season wheezing and trouble breathing from pollen, dust, and pollution. Can this be completely cured or is it something I'll have to manage long-term?
Mild aortic regurgitation (AR) with a 3rd valve can often be managed with monitoring and medication, and surgery is not always the first or only option. Allergic bronchitis is generally managed long-term, with treatments aimed at controlling symptoms and minimizing exposure to allergens
