I'm feeling a bit worried because I've been having a lot of symptoms since I recovered from COVID back in July. I still don't feel completely better. Lately, I've been having chest pain on the left side and near my shoulder blade, and my left hand feels heavy, with some pain in my armpit. There's this weird pressure in the center of my upper chest, but it doesn't hurt. Bending or moving around makes my chest hurt too, but it's sort of bearable. Plus, I often get this numb feeling in my head, like pins and needles, though it doesn't really hurt. Sometimes I get headaches as well. I did an ECG and a 2D echo three months ago and everything was normal, but I'm attaching the latest ECG I just had done today. Can you help me figure out what's going on?

Based on your symptoms and history of Covid-19, it is important to consider the possibility of post-Covid complications such as myocarditis or pericarditis. The chest pain, left shoulder blade pain, heaviness in the left hand, and pressure in the upper chest could be indicative of cardiac issues. Since your recent ECG is available, it would be important to review it for any acute changes. I recommend starting a course of aspirin to help with any potential inflammation and to prevent blood clots. Additionally, you can take a proton pump inhibitor like omeprazole to protect your stomach while on aspirin. It is important to follow up with a cardiologist for further evaluation and possible additional tests such as a cardiac MRI. Medication: - Aspirin 75mg once daily - Omeprazole 20mg once daily

View allI've been on Olmetrack 20 for about a year now, but it's pretty expensive for me. My blood pressure is reading 13084. Do you think I could switch to Olmighty 20 since it's more affordable? I'm 28 years old, 5'3", and weigh 70 kg. Would that have any implications on my health?
Both Olmetrack 20 and Olmighty 20 contain the same active ingredient, which is Olmesartan. Olmighty 20 is a more cost-effective option for you. You can switch to Olmighty 20 with the same dosage as Olmetrack 20 to help maintain your blood pressure at a healthy level.

My mother-in-law has been struggling with high cholesterol and she's had two angiograms already. She's also dealing with thyroid issues, diabetes, and high blood pressure. She's been on medication for the last seven years, which has kept everything normal. But last week, her triglyceride levels shot up to 470, and she started feeling chest pain. The doctor ran some tests and added two new tablets, KORANDIL 10 and METAGARD 35, for 15 days. But after taking them, she's been having severe headaches, so she stopped taking the pills. Is there a possibility of changing these tablets with the help of the doctor?
Before changing anything , we will need to check your angiography report , your ECG , and echocardiography reports.. With out that. Changing or stoping medications can be dangerous Also will need the complete list of medications korandil can cause headache but it dialates the small blood vessels in the heart and if you have a significant blockage then you need it or some similar kind of meds..so need all the above mentioned information before any advice
