I'm currently undergoing treatment for tuberculosis, and I've noticed I have a heart murmur. I had an echo done, and everything seemed normal, but I'm experiencing high palpitations. Is it common to have a heart murmur while on TB medication? Should I be worried about the palpitations, or is this just a normal side effect?

I'm a bit worried because for the past month I've been having this weird chest pain, mostly on the left side. It's also affecting my left hand, shoulder, and neck. I've already done a TMT, echo, and ECG but the reports all came back normal. I'm really confused about what's going on. Could you help me figure out what this might be?

When there is no cardiac issue that could be pleuritis or costochondritis no need to worry take rest and foolow your doctors advice.

I'm really worried about my mom. She's been diagnosed with sepsis cardiomyopathy and CKD stage 3. What kind of treatments should we be looking into, and what does this all mean for her, like how long she might live?

Sepsis needs to be cured with radical antibiotics,if neglected it would lead to MODS,hence visit your Physician and take appropriate management,for CKD she has to undergo Dialysis twice a week atleast.
