Sure, here's a rephrased version of the user's query: I've been having chest pains off and on for a couple of days and got an ECG done. Here's what the results say: Vent rate is 73 bpm, PR interval is 114 ms, QRS duration is 94 ms, QTQTc is 388427 ms, and the PRT axes are 64, 52, and 25. I'm really not sure if these numbers are normal. Should I be taking any special precautions, especially since the pain keeps showing up in different parts of my body at different times?

Blood Vomiting and Blood in Stool: Potential Causes

Blood vomiting (hematemesis) and blood in stool (hematochezia) can be symptoms of various conditions. Given your friend's experience, possible causes include:

  1. Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD): Stomach acid can cause bleeding in the esophagus or stomach.
  2. Peptic ulcers: Open sores in the stomach or duodenum can bleed.
  3. Gastritis: Inflammation of the stomach lining can lead to bleeding.
  4. Esophageal varices: Enlarged veins in the esophagus can bleed.
  5. Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD): Conditions like Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis can cause bleeding.
  6. Infections: Bacterial or viral infections, such as food poisoning, can cause bleeding.

Urgent Medical Attention Needed

Encourage your friend to seek immediate medical attention to determine the underlying cause and receive proper treatment.

I've been having this left upper chest pain along with a sensation of irritation or discomfort near the right side of my throat and towards the end of my molar teeth for the last 3-4 days. It's really worrying me. About 2 months ago, I had some heart tests done, but everything came back normal. I do have a BP of 14090 though and was taking TELMA H for two months. I quit smoking 6 months ago and used to smoke around 23 cigarettes a day. What could be causing these symptoms, and what should I do?

GERD take pantop 40mg for 3days

I'm just a bit worried about my dad. He's 73 and back in November, he was getting these palpitations which led to an angiogram. They found some mild lesions and myocardial bridging, nothing major though. Before all this, he was on a 10 mg dose of Aztor. In December, he had a left hepatectomy because of a cyst, but that's all sorted now. So, in January, the doctor switched things up and put him on Ecosprin 7520 and Prolimet 12.5, and he's been on those for about three months. The thing is, our doctor isn't available right now and my dads next checkup isn't until April. I'm just wondering if it's okay for him to keep taking this medication for another two months or should we be doing something different?

Yes, the same medications can be continued for another two months. Aztor 10 mg can be continued for his cholesterol management. Ecosprin 7520 is important for antiplatelet effects to prevent blood clots, and Prolimet 12.5 is likely prescribed for blood pressure control. It is important to continue these medications as prescribed until his next checkup in April.
