Can you help me understand if Gabapentin and methylcobalamin tablets are actually meant for pedal edema? My grandmother thinks it helps reduce her swelling, but I thought it was for her neuropathic pain from cervical spondylosis. She's also dealing with grade 2 diastolic heart failure, and her cardiologist prescribed this. I'm just worried if we're using it right and if it really helps with edema, any advice?

View allI'm really worried about whether cardiophobia could actually lead to a heart attack. I've been dealing with this fear since last year. I did a TMT test back then, and everything came back normal, but I'm still having chest pain and feeling really fatigued. Should I be concerned about these symptoms?
"Cardiophobia, which is the fear of heart disease, can cause symptoms such as chest pain and fatigue due to anxiety and stress. It is important to manage your anxiety to alleviate these symptoms. In your case, since you have already done a TMT test last year which was normal, it is less likely that your symptoms are due to a heart attack. However, it is important to consult with your doctor for a proper evaluation and management plan. In the meantime, you can consider taking an anxiolytic medication such as lorazepam at a low dose of 0.5mg to help with your anxiety symptoms."

I'm Mukesh and I've been dealing with some health issues for the last three years. My doctor told me my blood pressure is high, but my ECG is normal. My cerum creatinine is 0.91, and cholesterol levels reported in February 2017 are at t.col130, HDL 44.1, triglycerides 113.9, LDL 63.12, and VLDL 22.78. The chest X-ray came back normal too. I've been taking Tenolol 50 and Anxit 0.25 as prescribed, but I'm still having the same issues and sometimes I have trouble breathing. Could you help me understand what's going wrong and if there's anything else I should be doing?
Mukesh, given your history of high blood pressure and normal test results including ECG, cholesterol levels, and chest X-ray, it's important to manage your hypertension and associated symptoms effectively. Tenolol (a beta-blocker) and Anxit (an anxiety medication) are useful, but if your symptoms persist, further evaluation is needed. Breathing problems can be related to anxiety, uncontrolled blood pressure, or other underlying conditions. I recommend following up with your healthcare provider to reassess your treatment plan. They may adjust your medications, explore other causes for your symptoms, and possibly refer you to a specialist if needed.

I'm dealing with mild pulmonary hypertension and I'm really worried about how it might affect my lifespan since I know there's no cure. Is it possible that the echocardiogram 2D test might have given inaccurate results?
