I'm a bit confused and worried because even though my TMT and ECG tests from 4 months ago were normal, I still feel a slight pain in my left arm and chest. I rarely drink, maybe just some wine occasionally, and I don't smoke. My blood test and chest X-ray came back normal, and I don't have any blood pressure or other health issues. What could be going on?

Considering your symptoms and ineffective response to Novamox 500, you may want to consider alternative antibiotics. However, always consult your doctor before switching medications.
Augmentin 625 Duo vs. Azithral 500
Both are effective antibiotics, but:
- Augmentin 625 Duo: A broad-spectrum antibiotic, often prescribed for tonsillitis. It's a combination of amoxicillin and clavulanic acid.
- Azithral 500: A macrolide antibiotic, also effective against tonsillitis. Azithromycin is often prescribed for 3-5 days.
Azithral 500 might be a better option if:
- You're allergic to penicillin (Augmentin contains amoxicillin, a penicillin-type antibiotic)
- Your tonsillitis is caused by a macrolide-sensitive bacterium
However, your doctor should determine the best course of treatment based on your medical history, allergy status, and the severity of your symptoms.

View allI'm really confused about my recent medical test results. I initially went to the doctor for a gastric problem, and they told me to take a troponin test. The result came back positive, with a level of 0.03, which worried me. But then, my family doctor suggested I get a second opinion, so I went to MMM Chennai on the same day, and their test showed a negative result. Now I'm not sure which result to believe or what steps I should take next. Could you help me figure out what I should do?
Troponin is a cardiac marker used to diagnose heart conditions. In your case, since there is a discrepancy between the two test results, it is important to consider further evaluation. I recommend consulting with a cardiologist for a detailed assessment. In the meantime, you can consider taking medications like Aspirin 75mg once daily and Clopidogrel 75mg once daily to prevent any potential cardiac issues while awaiting further evaluation.

I'm feeling really concerned because my sister has been diagnosed with RBBB after an ECG, and her vitamin B12 levels are only 128. I've heard about rejunex 1500 injections and was wondering if it would be okay for her to take that. Is it safe for someone with her condition?
Rejunex 1500 injection contains Methylcobalamin which is a form of Vitamin B12. It is commonly used to treat Vitamin B12 deficiency. In this case, since your sister has a low Vitamin B12 level of 128, you can give her Rejunex 1500 injection. The usual dosage for Vitamin B12 deficiency is 1000-1500 mcg injected intramuscularly once daily for 1 week, then once weekly for 4 weeks, and then once monthly. Please consult with a healthcare professional for the appropriate dosage and administration schedule for your sister's specific condition.

I'm really worried about a condition I've heard of, the left bundle branch block, and I'm trying to understand what it means for someone who's 55, female, with high sugar levels and blood pressure. Is it normal that there's no chest pain or dizziness with this, or should we be concerned about that? Just trying to wrap my head around what steps to take next or if it's worse than it seems.
Left bundle branch block in a 55-year-old female with high sugar level and blood pressure, but no chest pain or dizziness can be managed by controlling the underlying conditions. It is important to monitor her heart health regularly. I would recommend starting her on a medication like Metoprolol (25-50mg) to help regulate her heart rate and blood pressure. Additionally, she should be prescribed an ACE inhibitor like Lisinopril (10-20mg) to manage her blood pressure. Regular monitoring and follow-up with a cardiologist is essential in this case.
