I'm having this issue where I feel a tightness or pressure in my chest whenever I lie down flat to sleep. It almost feels like I'm running out of oxygen sometimes. Do you have any advice on what could be causing this or how to deal with it?

I've been having some chest issues and I went to the doctor who said it's just my bone and everything's normal, so he prescribed Pan 20 for 10 days before meals once a day, Bandy medicine, and a vitamin D sachet to take once a week. But I'm still a bit worried because I sometimes feel chest pain when I take a deep breath, and in the mornings on my left side. The pain's really sharp, but it only lasts about 45 seconds and happens maybe 6 or 7 times a day. I had anxiety about three years ago, and I also sleep on my stomach. Could that be related or something I should be more concerned about? Any advice would be really helpful.

It is important to follow up with your doctor regarding the chest pain you are experiencing, especially if it is recurring multiple times a day. The sharp pain in the left chest that lasts for a few seconds could be due to various reasons, including musculoskeletal issues, anxiety, or even gastrointestinal problems. In the meantime, you can try taking over-the-counter pain relief medication like Acetaminophen (Tylenol) for the chest pain. However, if the pain persists or worsens, it is crucial to seek medical attention for further evaluation and management.

I'm really worried about my husband. He's been waking up in the middle of the night sweating and struggling to breathe, and this has happened twice in just three days. We checked his blood pressure both times he woke up, and it was 148110 with a pulse of 75 the first time, and 140100 with a pulse of 85 the second time. He usually takes TeldayH every day for his high blood pressure, which generally keeps it under control. His blood sugar levels were also normal when we checked them yesterday, and his ECG was fine in January. He did have a gout attack around the same time, and his uric acid levels were 8.7 then, and he's also dealing with high cholesterol. Right now, he's on Febuxostat and Jupiros. I'm just trying to figure out why he's having these night sweats and breathing problems. Could it be related to his medication or something else?

I'm a 22-year-old guy and I've been diagnosed with sinus arrhythmia. My cardiologist gave me embeta xr to take for a month and after using it, I feel about 80% better. I'm wondering if I should keep taking the medicine for another month. I read online that sinus arrhythmia might not need any treatment and could just go away as I get older. Could you give me some advice on what to do next?

Embeta XR is a brand name for Metoprolol, which is commonly used to treat various heart conditions, including arrhythmias. Since you have already experienced improvement with the medication, it would be advisable to continue taking it as prescribed by your cardiologist. It is important to follow your doctor's recommendations for the full duration of the treatment to ensure the best outcome. In this case, continuing Embeta XR for another month as prescribed would be beneficial for managing your sinus arrhythmia.
