I've been having this really hard time breathing and there's this weird feeling in my chest where my heart is. Sometimes, it feels like I'm about to take my last breath, and it's really scary. I have no clue what's causing all this. Could you help me figure out what's going on?

My dad is 66 and had a CABG around 16 months ago. He's been really diligent with his exercises, simple yoga, and diet as advised by his surgeon. Lately, though, he's been having sudden pains on the left side that extend to his wrist, fingers, chest, upper back, and neck. Using ointment seems to help after a bit, but these pains have become more frequent. The doctor mentioned it might be muscle pain, but since it's been 1.5 years since his surgery, we're getting worried. Can you offer any advice on what might be going on?

It sounds like your dad may be experiencing angina, which is chest pain or discomfort that occurs when the heart muscle doesn't get enough oxygen-rich blood. Given his history of CABG surgery and the symptoms you described, it's important to take this seriously. I recommend discussing with his doctor about the possibility of increasing his anti-anginal medication. He may benefit from medications such as Nitroglycerin sublingual tablets to help relieve the chest pain. It's important to follow the prescribed dosage and instructions for taking this medication. If the pain persists or worsens, seeking medical attention promptly is crucial.

Can I take Dilzem CD 120 about 40 minutes after Rabsec PPI? Are there any side effects I should be worried about?

It is generally safe to take Dilzem CD 120 after 40 minutes of Rabsec (PPI). However, it is important to note that there may be a potential interaction between these two medications. Dilzem CD 120 is a calcium channel blocker used to treat high blood pressure and chest pain, while Rabsec (PPI) is a proton pump inhibitor used to reduce stomach acid. Some potential side effects of taking these medications together may include an increased risk of low blood pressure, slow heart rate, and potential drug interactions. It is always best to consult with your healthcare provider before taking these medications together to ensure safety and effectiveness.
