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'm curious about what's happening with my heart. Sometimes my ECG shows these non-specific ST changes, and while my echo was normal, I'm still worried. I often feel chest discomfort and pains in my left arm. Is there something specific these ST changes could indicate, even though my ECG and echo seem alright? Could something be missed?
Non-specific ST changes on an ECG can be caused by various factors, including electrolyte imbalances, medications, anxiety, or even normal variation. Since your echocardiogram was normal, it is less likely to be related to a structural heart problem. However, given your symptoms of chest discomfort and left arm pains, it is important to continue monitoring and investigating further. To address your symptoms, you can try taking a medication like aspirin for chest discomfort (75-325mg once daily) and acetaminophen for pain relief in your left arm (500-1000mg every 4-6 hours as needed). Additionally, you may benefit from a medication like ranitidine for acid reflux if present (150mg twice daily). It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management of your symptoms.

I'm a 19-year-old guy dealing with high blood pressure issues. My doctor suggested I take Bengreat 4 tablets, and I'm honestly a bit worried about my health. I'm also obese, weighing 105 kg, and I'm unsure if I should start taking these tablets. Could you give me some advice on whether it's safe or if there's anything else I should consider?
Bengreat 4 is a commonly prescribed medication for high blood pressure. It contains a combination of Amlodipine 5mg and Telmisartan 40mg. It is important to follow your doctor's advice and take the medication as prescribed. The usual dosage for Bengreat 4 is 1 tablet once daily. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly while taking this medication. Additionally, since you mentioned being obese, it is also important to work on lifestyle modifications such as a healthy diet and regular exercise to help manage your blood pressure.

I'm a bit concerned about my medication. I've been on it for 2 years now, and while I'm currently not having any issues with blood pressure or heart rate, I'm wondering if I should stop taking it to steer clear of any potential side effects. What's your advice on this?
It is recommended to consult with your healthcare provider to discuss the possibility of gradually tapering off the medication under their supervision. The specific medication and dosage will determine the appropriate tapering schedule to minimize any potential withdrawal symptoms or adverse effects.
