I've done all the tests like an ECG, echo, and TMT, and they all came back normal, but I've been having this pain on my left side of the chest for a month now. I'm worried because it feels like it might be leading up to a heart attack. Could it still be something heart-related even if the tests were okay?

Since your ECG, echo, and TMT results are normal, your chest pain may not be related to a heart attack. However, it is important to further evaluate the cause of your chest pain. You can try taking a pain reliever like acetaminophen (Tylenol) 500mg as needed for the chest pain. If the pain persists or worsens, you may consider taking an antacid like omeprazole (Prilosec) 20mg once a day to see if it helps with the pain. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques and stress management may also be beneficial.

View allI'm really worried about my 67-year-old dad. He had an angioplasty just five days ago and now he's running a fever. The doctor gave him Ceftum 500 and he's already taken two tablets, but the fever keeps coming back. Plus, he had constipation for a couple of days, so we tried giving him Looz syrup, and now he's got loose motions. What should we do?

I'm feeling really hot after eating a big meal like chicken fried rice, even when I'm in air conditioning. Could this be connected to my blood pressure medication? I'm quite worried. Can you help me understand what's going on?
Can be a common reaction due to the spices used in the dish. However, if you are feeling excessively hot even in an air-conditioned environment and you are on blood pressure medication, it could be related to your medication. Some blood pressure medications can cause side effects such as flushing or feeling hot. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and consult your doctor if you experience persistent symptoms.

I've been taking metoprolol 50 mg once a day for the past 3 years, but I'm experiencing some side effects like weight gain, gas, indigestion, abdominal swelling, and a puffy face. Are there any alternative beta blockers I can consider, especially since I have mitral stenosis with a measurement of 1.6?
Considering your side effects with metoprolol, you can discuss with your doctor about switching to a different beta blocker such as Nebivolol (5 mg once daily) or Carvedilol (6.25 mg twice daily). These medications may have a different side effect profile and could be better tolerated in your case. However, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider before making any changes to your medication regimen.
