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 experiencing some discomfort and I'm a bit worried. I've had pain on my left chest and left hand for about a week now. I went for a check-up, did an ECG and cholesterol test, but nothing was found. The doctor mentioned it might be a muscle problem and gave me some medicine. However, I still feel this glittering sensation on my left chest and arm. And when I go to the bathroom, it takes a lot of effort and makes me uncomfortable. There's also some swelling around my left chest and near my left hand. Can you help me understand what might be going on?
It sounds like you may be experiencing muscle pain and possibly some inflammation in the chest and left hand. The glittering sensation could be due to nerve irritation. The difficulty in passing stool may be related to muscle strain or weakness. I recommend taking a muscle relaxant like Flexeril (cyclobenzaprine) 10mg twice daily for muscle pain. Additionally, you can take an anti-inflammatory medication like Ibuprofen 400mg three times a day for the inflammation. For the swelling, you can try applying a cold compress and elevating the affected area. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with your doctor for further evaluation.

I'm really concerned about my health right now. My ECG showed sinus arrhythmia, but my other tests like the 2D echo and blood work came back normal. I have some heart blocks, but I've been trying to manage them with diet control. The issue is, I feel breathless whenever I walk, even though I don't have any other symptoms. Could you give me some advice on what steps I should take next?
Sinus arrhythmia is a common condition where the heart's rhythm varies with breathing. Since your 2D echo and blood tests are normal, it's a good sign. For managing heart blocks and breathlessness, you can take a beta-blocker medication like Metoprolol (25-50mg) once daily. This will help in controlling your heart rate and symptoms. Additionally, continue with your diet control and regular exercise routine. If breathlessness persists, you can use a bronchodilator like Salbutamol inhaler as needed.
