I'm currently taking Tazloc AM for my high blood pressure, but it still isn't in the normal range. I'm concerned and wondering what could be causing this. Could there be something I'm missing or should I be trying something else? It's a bit worrying since I expected the medication to help more.

For a 5-year-old child, the expected visual acuity is:
- 2030 to 2040 in each eye
- Able to identify the 2030 or 2040 line on the Snellen chart
- May not be able to read the 2020 line, which is the standard for adult vision
Keep in mind that every child develops at their own pace. Consult a pediatric ophthalmologist or optometrist for a comprehensive eye exam.

View allI'm really worried about my wife. She's been having chest pain and the doctor recommended an ultrasound and an ECG. The ultrasound turned out normal, but the ECG showed something concerning. It mentioned "old high lateral MI." What does this mean, and what should we do next?
Your wife seems to have an old high lateral myocardial infarction based on the ECG findings. To manage her chest pain and heart condition, she can take Aspirin 75mg once daily to prevent blood clot formation and reduce the risk of heart attack. Additionally, she can take Clopidogrel 75mg once daily to further prevent blood clots. It is important for her to follow up with a cardiologist for further evaluation and management.

I'm a bit confused about the difference between normal chest pain and angina pain. Is angina pain similar to what happens during a heart attack, but it goes away in like 3 or 4 minutes? And should I be worried if I feel pins and needles in my chest that only last for less than a minute?
Chest pain can have various causes, including musculoskeletal issues, gastrointestinal problems, or cardiac conditions like angina. Angina pain is typically described as a pressure, squeezing, or tightness in the chest that may radiate to the arms, neck, jaw, or back. It is often triggered by physical exertion or emotional stress and usually subsides with rest or medication like Nitroglycerin. Angina pain is not usually as severe or prolonged as a heart attack, which typically lasts longer than 3 to 4 minutes and may be associated with other symptoms like shortness of breath, sweating, nausea, or lightheadedness. Pins and needles sensation lasting under 1 minute is usually not a cause for concern and can be due to temporary nerve compression or poor circulation. However, if you experience persistent or recurrent pins and needles, especially associated with other symptoms like weakness, numbness, or difficulty speaking, it is important to seek medical evaluation to rule out more serious conditions like a transient ischemic attack (TIA) or peripheral neuropathy.
