I've been having this weird chest pain for about a month now. It gets worse when I'm lying down, breathing deeply, or exercising. I tried taking muscle relaxants for three days, and it helped a bit, but now the pain's back. It's not unbearable, but it feels really uncomfortable and tight when I try to take a deep breath. What could this be, and what should I do about it?

View allI've been taking a tablet every day for my blood pressure, and now my doctor has also prescribed stemetil MD 5 mg twice a day for 5 days. I'm just wondering if there are any interactions or side effects I should be aware of with this combination?
Stemetil MD 5mg, containing prochlorperazine, is typically prescribed for nausea, vomiting, and vertigo, and taking it twice daily for 5 days is likely intended to address a specific symptom or condition, such as migraines or inner ear disturbances, rather than directly affecting your blood pressure management.

I'm really worried because I've been dealing with an irregular heartbeat pretty much all the time for the last 23 years. What could be causing this?
Irregular heartbeats can be caused by various underlying conditions. In your case, since you have been experiencing this issue for the past 2-3 years, it is important to consult a cardiologist for a proper evaluation and diagnosis. However, one common medication that is often prescribed for irregular heartbeats is Metoprolol (brand name: Lopressor). The usual starting dose for Metoprolol in cases of irregular heartbeats is 25-100 mg per day, taken orally. This medication helps to regulate the heart rate and rhythm. Regular follow-up with a cardiologist is essential to monitor your condition and adjust the treatment plan as needed.

I've got a cholesterol overall level of 360, and I'm pretty worried about it. Can you help me figure out some ways to bring it down? I'm really looking to make some changes.
I recommend making lifestyle changes such as following a healthy diet low in saturated fats and cholesterol, exercising regularly, and maintaining a healthy weight. Additionally, you can consider taking a statin medication like Atorvastatin 40mg once daily to help lower your cholesterol levels. Remember to consult with your doctor before starting any new medication."
