I've been having this tightness in my chest and feeling really tired, plus I'm not sleeping well at all. It's also making my mood all over the place and I'm dealing with some shortness of breath too. Could these symptoms be connected? Should I be concerned or is this something that will pass on its own?

You may be experiencing symptoms of anxiety or stress. To help with these symptoms, you can try taking over-the-counter medication such as lorazepam (Ativan) 1mg as needed for anxiety. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques, such as deep breathing exercises or meditation, may also be beneficial. If symptoms persist, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

View allI'm a 59-year-old female and recently experienced some pain in my left hand. I went to see the doctor, and he took an EKG. He then recommended an angiogram. Could you explain what an angiogram is and why it might be necessary for me? Should I be worried about this procedure?
The symptoms you are experiencing, along with the recommendation for an angiogram, suggest that your doctor may suspect a heart-related issue. The EKG and angiogram are common tests used to diagnose heart problems. It is important to follow your doctor's advice for further evaluation and treatment. For the left hand pain, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Advil) to help manage the discomfort. Make sure to follow the recommended dosage on the packaging. If you experience any worsening of symptoms or new symptoms, such as chest pain, shortness of breath, or dizziness, seek medical attention immediately.
