I had COVID back in May 2021 and was in quarantine. Things were normal until late August when I started having a cold and got treated with antibiotics. After finishing the antibiotics, I noticed this slight pain on the left side of my chest while breathing deeply, as well as pain in my left hand. It's not sharp anymore, just a constant feeling. My chest X-ray came back normal, but the ECG showed Sinus Tachycardia, and sometimes my heart rate spikes. I'm 26, recently quit smoking, and I'm worried if this could be something like COPD or lung cancer. I can hold my breath for over a minute and can exhale in about 15 seconds, so I'm not breathless. But I'm really anxious, my hands and feet get sweaty, and there's this skin issue on my lower foot which makes me think about hyperthyroidism. Could you help me understand what's going on? I'm seriously worried.

View allI'm really worried about my 72-year-old mom. She had an angioplasty last month and didn't have any pain after, but she's developed this really bad dry cough. She's on a bunch of meds: clopilet, ecosprin, prolomet, ivabrad, lipicure, pantocid, and piriton syrup, plus aldactone. Do you think any of these could be causing her cough, or is there something else we should be looking into? I really want to help her get some relief. What do you suggest?
That could be due to side effect of one of the medicines that your using visit your doctor for switch of the medicine and maintain healthy lifestyle

I've been feeling really anxious about my blood pressure lately since I know it can lead to a stroke or other issues. I've gotten into the habit of checking it a lot, sometimes twice a day. Whenever I feel weird sensations in my head, like a pulling feeling or lightheadedness, I immediately worry it's because my blood pressure has spiked. Most of the time, it reads around 12065 or 12570, but occasionally it'll jump up to 14580 before dropping back down after a few minutes. Is this fluctuation normal, and could anxiety be causing these spikes? Should I be concerned about my blood pressure at my age?
Yes, fluctuations in blood pressure throughout the day can be normal, and anxiety can indeed contribute to temporary spikes in blood pressure. It is not uncommon for blood pressure to rise in response to stress or anxiety and then return to normal levels once the stressor is removed. In your case, the readings of 14580 that come down within a few minutes could be a result of anxiety-induced temporary elevation. Given your age and the readings you have provided, it seems like your blood pressure is generally within a healthy range. However, it is essential to continue monitoring your blood pressure regularly, especially if you have concerns about it. If you experience persistent symptoms or consistently high readings, it would be advisable to consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and guidance. In the meantime, you can consider incorporating stress-reducing activities into your daily routine, such as exercise, meditation, or deep breathing exercises, to help manage anxiety and potentially lower your blood pressure.

Why does the middle of my chest hurt?
It can be due to heart attack or gastro-oesophageal reflux disease. When a person is obese or have a lax esophageal sphincter there is a chance for stomach juices to get reflexed upto esophagus, causing burning pain or tightness in the middle of the chest.
