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.

I'm experiencing this needle-like pain in my chest that comes and goes. Sometimes it's in my arms and hands too. I'm not sure if it's due to stress or something else, but it's been happening for the last 2 to 3 weeks. I've been on TB medication for about 6 months now, and there's also this numbness in my feet. I'm really concerned and need some guidance. I've attached my CECT report. What could be causing these symptoms?

It's important to address chest pain, especially if it is recurrent and accompanied by symptoms like numbness in your feet. Given that you are currently on tuberculosis (TB) medication, some of these medications can have side effects, including peripheral neuropathy, which may explain the numbness in your feet. The needle-like chest pain and discomfort in your arms and hands could be related to several factors, including stress, side effects from your medication, or other medical conditions. I recommend discussing these symptoms with your healthcare provider, who may consider further evaluation such as a detailed physical examination, additional blood tests to check for side effects of TB medications, and possibly an ECG or other cardiac tests to rule out any heart-related issues.

What if my heart rate is naturally between 90 and 110? I haven't had any problems so far, but I'm just wondering if there's any reason to be worried.

A resting heart rate between 60 to 100 beats per minute is considered normal for adults. A heart rate of 90 to 110 beats per minute can be normal for some individuals, especially if you are physically active or under stress. However, if you are experiencing no symptoms and have no underlying health conditions, this heart rate range may not be a cause for concern. It is always best to consult with your healthcare provider for a personalized assessment.

I'm currently 30 weeks pregnant and I've been told there's an increased RS ratio in V1, which might suggest an early transition or a posterior infarct. I'm taking labetalol 100 and Ecosprin 75. I'm really worried about what this means for me and the baby. Could you help me understand this better?
