I'm having this continuous chest pain since morning, and I think it might be a gas lock. I had dosa this morning, but I've been struggling with this issue for about 10 days now. I've been taking homeopathy, but it doesn't seem to be helping much. Could it still just be gas, or do you think it's something else? Should I consider a different treatment?

View allI'm a 37-year-old male who has been taking Asomex 2.5 mg for my high blood pressure, but I'm out of it now since I'm in Qatar and can't find it here. A doctor here prescribed me Norvasc 5 mg instead. I'm a bit worried and wanted to ask if it's safe for me to switch to this medication. Can you give me some advice?
Yes, Norvasc 5 MG is safe for you to take as a substitute for Asomex 2.5 mg. Both medications contain the same active ingredient, Amlodipine, which is used to treat high blood pressure. The recommended dosage of Norvasc 5 MG for hypertension is usually 5-10 mg once daily. Please follow your doctor's instructions regarding the dosage and administration of Norvasc 5 MG for your high blood pressure.

I'm having some pain that I'm worried about. It's mostly on my left elbow, both upper and sometimes the inner part, and I also feel pain just below my left ear on the jaw. Besides that, I get this discomfort below my left chest and it usually happens when Ive got gas. I've had an ECG done back in August and everything came out normal, but I'm still concerned. The pain kind of comes and goes without any chest pressure or breathing issues. Could this be heart-related? Sometimes the pain hits my back too. My blood pressure is 127 over 79 and my total cholesterol level is 264. Do these symptoms sound like I should be worried about my heart?
Based on the symptoms you have described, such as pain in the left elbow, left jaw, below the left chest, and sometimes in the back, which worsen when you have gas, along with normal ECG results and absence of chest pressure or breathing problems, it is less likely to be cardiac-related. The pain you are experiencing may be musculoskeletal or related to gastrointestinal issues. For the pain in your left elbow and jaw, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen. For gas relief, you can try simethicone-based antacids. Additionally, for high cholesterol levels, you may consider starting a statin medication like atorvastatin at a low dose. It is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management of your symptoms. Remember to maintain a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise and a balanced diet to help manage your cholesterol levels.

I'm 32 years old and recently found out from my echo scan that I have grade 1 diastolic dysfunction. I'm trying to understand what exactly grade 1 diastolic dysfunction means and what might have caused it. Should I be really worried about this? Could it lead to a heart attack or other heart disease down the road? My blood pressure is 13584 and my pulse is 93. I'm feeling pretty anxious about what all this could mean. Can you help clarify this for me? I've also attached my echo report for reference.
grade 1 diastolic dysfunction normal..salt restricted diet ,dash diet and regular aerobic exercises is advised to the patient.
