I'm experiencing this strange pressure on my chest every time I yawn, and it's making me feel like I need to vomit. There's also some pressure on my neck. Can you give me some insight into what might be going on?

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of acid reflux or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). I recommend taking an over-the-counter antacid like Tums or Rolaids to help with the chest pressure and vomiting sensation. You can also try taking an H2 blocker like Zantac or Pepcid to reduce stomach acid production. Make sure to follow the recommended dosage instructions on the packaging. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please seek medical attention.

I'm a bit worried about my heart because I was told I have left bundle branch block and that I had a silent heart attack, even though I'm not diabetic. I had an angiography done before my knee surgery, and it showed no major blockages, just a 20% one in my right coronary artery. I've also been dealing with hypertension. Can you help me understand what might be causing the LBBB?
Possible causes for left bundle branch block (LBBB) include underlying heart conditions such as coronary artery disease, hypertension, cardiomyopathy, and heart valve disease. Since you mentioned that you are suffering from hypertension, it could be a contributing factor to your LBBB. It is important to manage your hypertension effectively to reduce the risk of further heart complications. In terms of medication, you may benefit from taking an ACE inhibitor like Lisinopril to help control your blood pressure and protect your heart. The typical dosage for Lisinopril is 10-40mg once daily. Additionally, a beta-blocker such as Metoprolol can also be prescribed to help regulate your heart rate and blood pressure. The usual dosage for Metoprolol is 25-100mg once or twice daily. It is essential to follow up with your healthcare provider regularly to monitor your heart health and adjust your treatment plan as needed.
