My sister's been dealing with some pain on her left side, like under her armpit and shoulder, for a month. She had an ECG done back then, and it seemed normal. But now, she just got another ECG and it said "borderline abnormal." Should we think about doing another one or maybe see a cardiologist? What do you suggest?

View allI'm really worried about this constant headache I have, mostly because my blood pressure and sugar are both on the high side. I've done a CT scan and an MRI, but both came back normal. Even my neurologist confirmed everything looks fine. Despite all that, I'm still feeling this awful sense of suffocation. There's no history of any heart problems in my family or anything like that. Do you think I should see a cardiologist about the suffocation issue?
In this case, since suffocation is still an issue, it would be advisable to consult with a cardiologist to rule out any cardiac-related causes. The cardiologist may recommend medications such as Amlodipine (5mg) for high blood pressure and Metformin (500mg) for diabetes to help manage your conditions and alleviate symptoms. It's important to follow up with the cardiologist for further evaluation and management of your symptoms.

I've been feeling my pulse really strongly all over, like in my head and fingers, for about a year now. I went to see a doctor and he did an ECG, but it came back normal. He said it's not a disease and might just be stress. I'm really curious if there's anything I can do to make this go away. Any suggestions would be helpful.
Having a strong pulse that can be felt in various parts of the body can indeed be related to stress. To help reverse this, you can try relaxation techniques such as deep breathing exercises, yoga, or meditation to help reduce stress levels. Additionally, you can consider taking a beta-blocker medication such as Metoprolol (25-50mg once daily) to help lower your heart rate and reduce the sensation of a strong pulse. It's important to continue following up with your doctor for further evaluation and management.
