I'm feeling a bit worried because I've been having this heaviness in my chest, but it's only on the left side. Sometimes there's a bit of pain there too. Plus, my upper back on the left side is hurting as well. It's been going on for about a year now. I did a full body checkup in the first week of January and everything came back normal. What should I do now? Who should I see for this? Are there any specific tests you recommend?

I've been having this regular pain on the left side of my chest for about a week now, and after getting some cardiac tests done, they mentioned things like Sinus bradycardia with Sinus arrhythmia and Hyperacute T waves. I'm having some breathlessness too, but my heartbeat is at 58. The TIPI probability of ACI came out as 9. I'm really hoping you could help me understand what all of this means and if it's something I should be really worried about. Would love some guidance on this!

I'm feeling some discomfort with a bit of pain and gas on my left side. I've attached my ECG report. Could you take a look at it and let me know if everything seems normal? Also, how can I tell the difference between gas issues and heart-related pain?

To distinguish between gas pain and heart pain, gas pain is often described as a sharp, jabbing pain that may move around and is usually accompanied by bloating or burping. Heart pain, on the other hand, is typically a dull, pressure-like discomfort that may radiate to the arm, neck, or jaw, and is often associated with other symptoms like shortness of breath or sweating. If you are experiencing persistent or severe chest pain, it is important to seek medical attention for further evaluation and management. In the meantime, you can try taking an over-the-counter antacid like Tums for gas relief.

I'm taking Betacap TR 40 in the morning, but my BP is still high and can't be controlled. I've been feeling dizzy for a few days, and yesterday I had a root canal done. Today, my blood pressure is 150110, and I'm not sure what's going on. Can you help me figure out what to do next?

I can't know the exact reason for your high blood pressure without a proper examination, but considering your symptoms and recent dental procedure, it is possible that the pain and stress from the root canal treatment may have contributed to the elevated blood pressure. I would recommend you to continue taking Betacap TR 40 as prescribed, and also consider adding an additional medication like Telma 40 (Telmisartan) once daily to help control your blood pressure. Additionally, try to manage your stress levels, get an adequate amount of rest, and follow a healthy diet low in salt and saturated fats. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
