I'm currently taking Olmezest H 20, but I'm thinking about switching to Olmezest AM 20. I'm not sure which combination is more effective for me. Can you help me figure out if it's a good idea to change my medication?

Do change medications only when indicated and advised by a doctor. Each medication is given for a particular patient after assessing multiple factors.

I'm having some pain on the left side of my chest and it's really worrying me. I'm also diabetic and on top of that, I'm supposed to have cervical surgery soon. Could these chest pains be related to my diabetes or maybe the upcoming surgery? I'm kind of anxious about it all and I'm wondering what I should do next.

Sometimes pain in the left side of the chest can be concerning, especially if you have a history of diabetes and are scheduled to undergo cervical surgery. This pain could be due to various reasons such as musculoskeletal issues, heart problems, or even related to your diabetes. It's important to get this evaluated by a healthcare professional. To help with the pain, you can take acetaminophen (Tylenol) 500mg every 6 hours as needed. However, if the pain persists or worsens, it is important to seek medical attention promptly.

I'm a bit concerned about my recent heart test results. I'm 53, usually pretty active, and not a blood pressure patient. My 2D echo came back with some terms that are worrying me a little, like concentric LVH and something about my aortic valve being sclerotic. The report mentioned a murmur sound, mild PAH, and a note about grade 1 LVDD. My LVEF is at 60%. Can you help me understand what all this means, especially the LVH and the sclerotic aortic valve? Should I be worried about these findings, even though the report says no RWMA, no effusion, and no clots?

Based on the report, the patient has Concentric LVH with Grade 1 LVDD, sclerotic aortic valve with trivial AR, mild PAH, and no significant abnormalities in the heart chambers. The ejection fraction is within the normal range at 60%. The patient's active lifestyle is a positive sign, but regular follow-up with a cardiologist is recommended to monitor the condition and manage any potential progression of the identified issues.
