I've been noticing this weird movement in my chest right above the breast, almost like something's trying to burst out. When it happens, it's tough to breathe and my heart seems to race. I've been dealing with this for years, but recently it's getting much more intense. It can happen at any time whether I'm just lying down or walking around. Could you help me understand what's going on?

Question

I'm really worried about my father. He's had high blood pressure for about 20 days now. He's already a BP patient, but lately, his pressure is shooting up to around 16090. He was on promolate xl 25 before and now he's been switched to telvas 40 by the doctor. It doesn't seem to be helping control his blood pressure, though. Can you suggest anything that might help us manage this better?

Question

I'm really worried about my brother who's 31. He's been having chest pain on and off for the past month, every 3 to 4 days, right in the middle of his chest, and it lasts around 12 hours each time. He saw a doctor nearby who did an X-ray, but they said his chest looked fine. Could you take a look at the X-ray and report? We really need some good advice on what to do next.

Question

I've been really anxious about something that's been going on with me. I got my first dose of the Covishield vaccine on the 13th of last month. The first couple of days, I had a fever and body pains, which went away pretty quickly. But then on the third day, I started having this sharp chest pain on my lower left side, so I went to a cardiologist. They did an ECG and a 2D echo and said everything looked normal, probably just muscle pain or acid reflux, and gave me some meds like prantoprazole and paracetamolchlorzoxazone, which seemed to help at first. But now, almost two weeks later, the chest pain came back for an hour and went away after I took prantoprazole. Then my left arm started hurting, and that hasnt stopped. I don't have the chest pain anymore, but the arm ache is persistent. I'm worried if this is related to the vaccine or just acid reflux like they said, or if it could be something more serious like myocarditis or pericarditis. I've been Googling a lot and getting more concerned. Can you help? What's really going on with me?
