I'm experiencing some discomfort in my left arm and around my chest. I had a TMT done recently and the results came back negative, but I'm still feeling the pain. Can you help me understand what's going on?

The pain in your left arm and chest could be due to musculoskeletal issues or nerve compression. To help relieve the pain, you can take Acetaminophen 500mg every 4-6 hours as needed for pain. Additionally, applying a topical pain relief gel like Volini gel on the affected areas can also provide relief. Make sure to rest the affected arm and chest, and avoid any activities that worsen the pain. If the pain persists or worsens, consult your doctor for further evaluation and management.

I'm 33 years old and my doctor prescribed bisoprolol 2.5 mg for a month. I came across something that said beta blockers are usually a lifelong medication. Is that true? Can you help clarify how long I might need to be on it? I've got a lot of questions about its long-term effects and what it means for my health.

Bisoheart 2.5 is a brand name for the drug Bisoprolol, which is a beta blocker. Beta blockers are commonly used for various heart conditions such as high blood pressure, angina, and heart failure. Whether beta blockers need to be taken permanently depends on the individual's condition and the recommendation of their healthcare provider. In some cases, beta blockers may be prescribed for long-term use to manage a chronic condition, while in other cases they may be used for a specific period of time. It is important to follow your doctor's advice regarding the duration of treatment with bisoheart 2.5.

My sister's been dealing with some pain on her left side, like under her armpit and shoulder, for a month. She had an ECG done back then, and it seemed normal. But now, she just got another ECG and it said "borderline abnormal." Should we think about doing another one or maybe see a cardiologist? What do you suggest?

I'm having trouble sleeping for the past few days. I keep waking up in the middle of the night because I can feel my abdomen pulsating and my heart racing. It's making me really anxious. Could this be happening because of how I'm sleeping, or is it something to do with starting the gym a couple of weeks ago? I notice my abdomen pulsating every time I look, but I don't feel any pain in my chest or abdomen. Is this normal?

it is NORMAL .And ecg is advised if chest pain persists..
