I'm a bit confused about the difference between a 2D echo and a stress 2D echo. Can you explain how they're different and in what situations each one might be used? Also, I've heard about coronary angiography but I'm not quite clear on what it is and why someone would need to have it done. I'm feeling a little anxious about all these procedures and would appreciate some clarity.

View allMy mom's been dealing with pain in her left arm and shoulder for a couple of years now. The doctors prescribed ecosprin 75mg, lipicure 20mg, and monit GTN 2.6, and she's been on these for the past two years. They also mentioned doing tests like HTN and CAD to figure out what's going on. I'm wondering what specific tests she should have and how much they might cost. Any guidance would be really helpful!

I've been having this chest pain on my right side and in my back, and it's pretty constant. I've noticed it eases a bit when I use a hot water bottle, but then it returns after about five minutes. I tried taking Mobizox to help with the pain, but it seems to come back even more after like four hours. What could be causing this, and what should I do next?
Ecg and x-ray chest pa view is advised to the patient.

I'm feeling really shaky and I've been having these spells of dizziness, lightheadedness, and nausea. I've been keeping an eye on my blood pressure since around 5pm, and it's been all over the place. It started at 12987 with a pulse of 75, then went to 13994 with a pulse of 89, 13795 with a pulse of 84, 13387 with a pulse of 70, and now it's at 13290 with a pulse of 76. I made sure I was sitting up straight and resting before and during each check. I'm really trying to figure out what's going on with me. Can you help?
Your symptoms of shakiness, dizziness, lightheadedness, and nausea, combined with fluctuating blood pressure readings, may indicate dehydration, anxiety, or an underlying condition such as orthostatic hypotension, hypoglycemia, or autonomic nervous system dysfunction; consider consulting a healthcare professional for a thorough evaluation and potential tests, such as blood work or an ECG, to determine the underlying cause.
