I'm feeling this sharp pain in the upper left part of my chest every time I cough or yawn, and it's got me worried. Sometimes, it also feels really tight in that area, even when I'm not doing anything. Can you tell me what's going on?

The sharp pain and tightness in your chest could be due to muscle strain, especially around the rib cage, or it could be related to heartburn or even anxiety. However, if the pain persists or worsens, its important to consult a doctor to rule out any serious issues like heart conditions or lung problems.

View allI'm a 28-year-old guy and I've been on high BP medicine, Telma 40, for about 2 years. Whenever I lie down, especially on my left side, I can really feel my heartbeat. It's like it's beating outside my chest, and it's making it hard for me to sleep. I've had an ECG and a 24-hour Holter monitor test, and both came back normal.

I'm really worried about my father. He's been diagnosed with severe coronary ectasia and previously, doctors mentioned that a bypass surgery isn't an option for him. I'm wondering if treatments like Ace Inhibitors or the drug Entresto could be effective in his situation? Lately, he's been having more frequent chest pains and feeling a lot of unease. Could you provide some guidance on this?
For the treatment of coronary ectasia, Ace Inhibitors such as Lisinopril can be beneficial in managing symptoms and improving heart function. The recommended dosage of Lisinopril is usually starting at 2.5-5 mg once a day, which can be adjusted by the doctor based on individual response. Entresto, which is a combination of Sacubitril and Valsartan, can also be considered for the treatment of heart failure in patients with reduced ejection fraction. The usual starting dose of Entresto is 4951 mg twice daily, which can be increased to the target maintenance dose of 97103 mg twice daily as tolerated. However, it is important to consult with your father's healthcare provider before starting any new medication or making changes to his current treatment plan. Regular monitoring and follow-up with a healthcare professional are essential in managing coronary ectasia and associated symptoms.

I've been having some on-and-off chest pain and stomach pain for the past two weeks. I'm also noticing some random tingling in different spots on my body and even some pain in my right shoulder that feels like a pulled muscle or maybe even trapped wind. Could all of these symptoms be connected to something significant, or should I not worry too much?
