View allI'm really concerned about this ongoing chest pain I've been experiencing along with pain in my left arm. It's been happening quite a lot over the past eight months. I'm trying to figure out what's really going on. Any ideas what could be causing this?
This could be a sign of a heart condition, specifically angina or a heart attack. It is important to seek immediate medical attention. In the meantime, you can take aspirin (e.g. Bayer Aspirin) 325mg to help reduce the risk of blood clot formation.

I'm noticing that my heart rate is going above 100-115 from time to time. My blood pressure is normal, but my hemoglobin level is 10.8. About a month ago, I had an ECG done, and it showed sinus tachycardia and IRBBB. But I'm still experiencing a heart rate over 100-115. Should I be worried about this? What might be causing it?
Based on your symptoms and previous ECG findings, you may benefit from taking a beta-blocker medication to help control your heart rate. I recommend you take Metoprolol (brand name: Lopressor) at a starting dose of 25mg twice daily. This medication can help regulate your heart rate and improve your symptoms. However, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider for proper evaluation and monitoring.

I'm a bit worried about my health right now. I've had hypertension for about 9 years and just found out there's an issue with my heart, something about left atrial enlargement. I'm experiencing symptoms like peripheral edema, dizziness, and even feeling faint sometimes. Is this something that can be reversed or might it turn out to be really serious?
Left atrial enlargement is a common complication of long-standing hypertension. While it may not be completely reversible, managing your blood pressure effectively can help prevent further enlargement and reduce the risk of complications. To help manage your symptoms and condition, you can take medications like Losartan 50mg once daily to control your blood pressure and reduce the strain on your heart. Additionally, your doctor may recommend a diuretic like Furosemide 40mg once daily to help with the peripheral edema. It's important to follow your doctor's advice closely and make lifestyle changes such as maintaining a healthy diet, regular exercise, and reducing stress to improve your overall health and prognosis.
