I'm dealing with pinworms in my stomach again and, from what I remember, I used to take ZENTEL for this when I was a kid. I'm really unsure about how to proceed. Could you guide me on what I should do?

For pinworms, the typical adult dose of Zentel (Albendazole) is 400mg, taken as a single dose, and repeated in 2 weeks to ensure complete elimination of the parasites

I'm having trouble with my breathing at times, especially when I'm lying down, and I also experience a lot of acid reflux and burping. Could this be connected to heart issues or is it more likely something to do with my digestion? Who should I get in touch with for this?

I'm really worried because I've been having pain in my left chest every day for the past 10 months. I've done about 20 ECGs, a 2D echo, and a TMT test a month ago, all of which came back normal. The high sensitivity troponin test was normal, and so were my chest X-ray, random blood sugar, and CBC tests. I've been to the cardiologist three times, and he keeps saying it's not a heart issue, but the pain in my left chest, left hand, and upper left back is still there. I'm scared it might be a heart attack. What other tests should I consider, and which type of doctor should I see next?

Since the cardiac evaluations have come back normal and your cardiologist has ruled out any heart-related issues, the persistent left chest pain could be due to musculoskeletal problems or other non-cardiac causes. I would recommend consulting a Rheumatologist to evaluate for conditions such as costochondritis or fibromyalgia. Additionally, you may consider getting a CT scan or MRI of the chest to further investigate any potential structural issues. In the meantime, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like Acetaminophen (Tylenol) for symptomatic relief.
