View allCan 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?
No there is no role of this drug in resolving pedeledma ,and is used to neuropathic pain,continue that medicine

I've been experiencing some pain in my left armpit and the far left side of my chest, near the armpit, for almost an hour. It's not super sharp, but it's definitely something I've never felt before. It went away after a while, and I feel fine now. Do you think I should be worried about this?
Electrocardiogram is advised ,kindly review with the reports..
