Question 1

I'm curious about the Inderal LA 20 tablet. What exactly is it used for? Can it help with blood pressure, or is it meant for something else?

Accepted Answer

Inderal LA 20 tablet is a brand name for propranolol, which is a beta-blocker medication.

Question 2

I've been having chest pain for the last 10 days and I'm really concerned because both my ECG and 2D Echo results came back normal. They mentioned something about PAH and mild TR. Could you please suggest what kind of medication or next steps I should consider?

Accepted Answer

Echo suggestive of tricuspid regurgitation , hence cardiologist opinion is advised for further management of the patient.

Question 3

I've been feeling this needle-like pain in my left chest that started a couple of nights ago while I was asleep and it lasted about 10 minutes. Afterward, I started getting these intermittent pin-pricking pains on both sides of my chest. Now I'm even feeling some discomfort in my back and mild pains in my left shoulder and arms, which sometimes shift to the right side. Im already dealing with a breathing problem and recently noticed some chest tightness. I dont feel tired or dizzy, but I do have a stomach ulcer. I'm really worried this could be some kind of heart attack or angina. What should I do?

Accepted Answer
