View allI'm really concerned because I've been experiencing some chest pain, tightness, a burning sensation, and even pain in my shoulder blade and hands. I've consulted two different doctors about this. The first doctor advised me to take Ab Flo capsules, but the second doctor was more cautious and said I should only take it if I have asthma. So the second doctor gave me Pantocid 40mg, but even after taking it for the past two days, I'm still not feeling any relief. Could you please guide me on what steps I should take next?
Probable diagnosis is GERD .Patient is advised tab pan d,orally once daily for 14 days ,syrup sucralfate 10ml thrice daily for 14 days.Also avoid spicy and hot items is advised to the patient.

I'm currently taking Tazloc AM for my high blood pressure, but it still isn't in the normal range. I'm concerned and wondering what could be causing this. Could there be something I'm missing or should I be trying something else? It's a bit worrying since I expected the medication to help more.
For a 5-year-old child, the expected visual acuity is: - 2030 to 2040 in each eye - Able to identify the 2030 or 2040 line on the Snellen chart - May not be able to read the 2020 line, which is the standard for adult vision Keep in mind that every child develops at their own pace. Consult a pediatric ophthalmologist or optometrist for a comprehensive eye exam.

I'm concerned because my mother-in-law is scheduled for pacemaker surgery soon, and we recently lost a relative after a similar procedure. I'm really worried about what to expect. Whats the success rate of pacemaker surgeries? Are there usually a lot of complications afterward? And is it possible for someone to live normally after getting a pacemaker? Would love some guidance on what we should be prepared for.
Pacemaker surgery is generally considered a safe and effective procedure with a high success rate. Most patients experience significant improvements in quality of life and symptom relief after the surgery. While complications can occur, they are relatively rare and may include infection, bleeding, or issues with the pacemaker leads. Most people can live a normal, active life with a pacemaker, but it's important to follow the cardiologist's recommendations and attend regular follow-up appointments to ensure the device is functioning properly. Discuss your concerns with the cardiologist at Medanta Hospital to understand the specific risks and benefits in your mother-in-law's case.
