I'm feeling pretty uneasy right now. I've got this sudden, sharp pain in my upper chest and the left side. It really hurts when I take a deep breath. I've taken a painkiller and applied some Volini gel, which has helped a bit, but I'm still worried. What do you think this could be?

I'm feeling really anxious about taking Lomaira, Losartan, and Amlodipine all at once. Are there any side effects I should be worried about?

Taking Lomaira (phentermine) with Losartan and Amlodipine can increase the risk of side effects such as increased blood pressure, heart rate, and potential for heart problems. It is important to monitor for symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, dizziness, and swelling. It is recommended to avoid this combination unless specifically instructed by your healthcare provider. If you are experiencing weight issues, you can discuss alternative weight management options with your doctor.

I'm a bit worried about my grandma's medication. She's been on Aten 50, but the pharmacy gave us Losar 25 mg instead. Are these two the same? Can she safely switch to using the Losar now?

No ,take aten 50 mg tab only..

What test shows blocked arteries in the heart?

The most accurate method to detect blocked arteries remains an invasive test called cardiac angiography, which requires a catheter to be threaded into heart vessels. But the signs of blocked arteries may also be seen on an ECG.
