I've been having this pain on the left side of my chest and it's also in the inside part of my left shoulder, going to the back as well. It's weird because it's not the whole chest, just specific points. Sometimes the pain even jumps to my right side for a few seconds. I've been keeping an eye on my blood pressure and it's been 80120. Should I be worried about this or is it something that will pass on its own?

Based on your description of chest pain localized to specific points and radiating to the back, it is important to rule out any cardiac issues. However, given your age and blood pressure reading, it is less likely to be related to the heart. This type of pain could be musculoskeletal in nature, such as muscle strain or inflammation. I recommend taking over-the-counter pain relief medication such as Acetaminophen 500mg as needed for pain relief. Additionally, applying a warm compress to the affected areas and practicing gentle stretching exercises may help alleviate the discomfort. If the pain persists or worsens, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I'm currently taking Teleact 40 in the morning and Cilny 10 along with Concor 5 at night. I've been feeling kind of light-headed in the mornings though. Do you think it would be better to switch things up and take the Telmisartan and Cilnidipine combo in the morning and the Concor 5 at night instead? I just want to make sure I'm managing my blood pressure in the best way possible.

Switching to Telmisartan (brand name: Telma) + Cilnidipine (brand name: Cilacar) combination in the morning can help in managing your blood pressure more effectively. You can continue taking Concor 5 at night for better control. The recommended dosage for Telmisartan + Cilnidipine combination would be as per your doctor's prescription.

I took a taxim o tablet for this swollen lump on my forearm because my doctor suggested it. But as soon as I took it, my heart started racing, and my heart rate shot up to around 120. I'm feeling chest pressure from all this bloating. Why is this happening? I got scared and stopped taking it. What should I do now?

It's possible that you experienced an adverse reaction to Taxim O (cefixime), which is an antibiotic. While antibiotics like cefixime are generally safe, they can occasionally cause side effects in some individuals. The racing heart rate (tachycardia) and chest pressure you experienced may be related to an allergic reaction, anxiety, or even a gastrointestinal side effect such as bloating. It is crucial to report these symptoms to your healthcare provider immediately, as they may need to prescribe an alternative treatment for your swollen lump and address your current symptoms. In the meantime, avoid taking any more of the medication and seek medical attention to ensure your symptoms are properly managed.

I've been using my MI band to keep track of my heart rate while I'm exercising and working out. Lately, I've noticed that my heart rate sometimes drops suddenly and steeply according to the fitness tracker. I've got a specific heart rate record from one of my workouts attached here. Should I be worried about this? What might be causing these changes, and are there other symptoms I should be on the lookout for?

Sudden and steep drops in heart rate during exercise can be concerning. It is important to rule out any underlying heart conditions. The probable causes could include dehydration, overexertion, medication side effects, or an underlying heart rhythm disorder. Other symptoms to watch out for may include dizziness, lightheadedness, chest pain, or shortness of breath. I recommend consulting a healthcare professional for a thorough evaluation and appropriate management.
