Question

I'm curious about the normal size of the abdominal aorta since my recent echocardiography showed my aorta measures 3 cm. The abdominal ultrasound indicated it was normal. Should I be concerned about this size?

The normal size of the abdominal aorta is typically less than 3 cm in diameter. Since your aorta size is 3cm, it is at the upper limit of normal. It is important to monitor this closely to ensure it does not increase in size. Regular follow-up with your healthcare provider is recommended to monitor any changes.

Question

I've been having this weird chest pain for about a month now. It gets worse when I'm lying down, breathing deeply, or exercising. I tried taking muscle relaxants for three days, and it helped a bit, but now the pain's back. It's not unbearable, but it feels really uncomfortable and tight when I try to take a deep breath. What could this be, and what should I do about it?

Question

I'm experiencing shortness of breath that comes and goes, even when I'm lying down. There are no other symptoms. What could be causing this and should I be worried?

Question

I'm about 5 feet 3 inches and weigh 70 kg. I've been taking olmetrack 20 mg for the last year, but now my blood pressure is at 13084. I was wondering if I could switch to taking olmighty 20 mg instead, since it's cheaper. Are these two medications different in any way?
