Why do I get this pain in my chest on the left side when I climb stairs or even shout? I've done all the tests like ECG, Echo, TMT, and CT angio, and they all came back normal. The CT showed no blockage but mentioned deep myocardial bridges. My cardiologist says it's not angina or heart disease but put me on Beta lock 0.25 twice a day. Anytime I get startled awake or shout when I'm angry, the pain starts again, spreading to my left back, arms, and neck. It's so confusing because the doc says it's nothing serious, but the pain keeps coming back and it's worrisome. Do you have any idea what might be going on?

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of anxiety or panic attacks, which can manifest as chest pain and other physical symptoms. The Beta Block medication prescribed by your cardiologist can help manage these symptoms by reducing the effects of adrenaline on your body. In addition to the medication, it may be helpful to practice stress-reducing techniques such as deep breathing exercises, mindfulness, and regular physical activity. If these symptoms persist or worsen, it would be advisable to follow up with your cardiologist for further evaluation and possibly a referral to a mental health professional for additional support. Remember to take your Beta Block medication as prescribed and try to incorporate stress management techniques into your daily routine to help alleviate your symptoms.

View allI found out about my high blood pressure about two years ago when my family doctor prescribed me Telma 40. I've been taking it, but I sometimes forget to take it at the same time every day. Since I stopped regularly monitoring my BP, I didn't notice anything unusual until recently. I checked my BP a few days ago, and it read around 14090, usually falling within 13585 to 14590. I've been wondering, even though I'm taking Telma 40, why would my BP still be at 14090? Could my less active lifestyle over the past couple of months be contributing to this? I'm a bit concerned and curious about what's going on.
Lifestyle modifications such as regular exercise, maintaining a healthy weight, reducing sodium intake, and managing stress are important in controlling blood pressure. I recommend incorporating regular physical activity into your routine, such as brisk walking or swimming for at least 30 minutes a day. Additionally, try to follow a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains while limiting processed foods and high-sodium items. It is also important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and take your medication consistently at the same time each day to optimize its effectiveness. If you continue to have concerns about your blood pressure readings, consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and guidance.

Is it normal for my heart rate to drop below 50 when I'm in deep sleep? I've noticed my heart rate goes down to around 45 while sleeping, and it's usually around 55 when I'm just resting. Should I be concerned about this?
Yes, it is normal for the heart rate to decrease during deep sleep. A heart rate of around 45 during deep sleep and 55 at rest is within the normal range for many adults. There is no need to be concerned about this unless you are experiencing symptoms such as dizziness, fainting, or chest pain.

I'm a 27-year-old guy and I've been having some mild chest pain for about six months now. I exercise daily, eat healthy, and I don't smoke. Could this be something serious or is it just anxiety or something else? Should I be concerned?
It's generally safe to use Moxikind (moxifloxacin) for cold and Monocef (cefixime) for cough together. However, consider the following: _Phensedyl (cough syrup)_: Avoid using Phensedyl with Moxikind and Monocef without consulting your doctor, as it may interact with antibiotics. _Consult your pediatrician_ before administering these medications together, especially if your child has any underlying medical conditions or is taking other medications. Also, ensure you: 1. Complete the full course of antibiotics as prescribed. 2. Follow the recommended dosage and administration instructions. 3. Monitor your child's condition and report any adverse reactions or concerns to your pediatrician.
