I'm feeling some discomfort in my chest and pain in my left hand, and I'm not sure what it might mean. I've been dealing with diabetes, thyroid issues, and something called spondylitis. My ECG had some signs, and my TMT came back as mildly positive. What steps should I follow next?

I'm dealing with sinusitis for the last 4 years, and it's mostly my right side that's blocked with a lot of mucus and sometimes a whitish liquid comes out. It also causes headaches and a feeling of heaviness on that side. I'm wondering if it's safe for me to get the COVID vaccine given these issues?

No you can not take covid vaccine until your cold and headache subsides.

I've been dealing with sinus tachycardia for the last six months. I saw a cardiologist and had a 2D echo and D-dimer test done, and everything came back normal. But in the last couple of days, I've felt a bit uneasy in my left chest. Can you help me figure out what's going on?

I'm really worried about my mom. She's been having this pain on the left side of her chest, and it spreads to her shoulder blade and down her arm. It's been really tough for her because she also feels uncomfortable when she's swallowing, and the pain gets worse when she takes a deep breath. She's not dealing with a cold, cough, or fever, but even with the meds she's taking, nothing seems to be helping. Could you please help me understand what might be going on and how we can treat it?
