I'm having some neck and shoulder pain and got an ECG done. The results mentioned something called "middling left axis deviation." Can you explain what this might mean?

Due to neck and shoulders pain, the ECG showing middling left axis deviation may indicate a possible heart condition. It is recommended to consult a cardiologist for further evaluation and management. In the meantime, you can take Acetaminophen 500mg every 6 hours as needed for pain relief.

I've been trying to get my hands on the medicine Cetanil T 20 that was prescribed to me, but I've had no luck because of the lockdown. I'm wondering if it's alright to take Telmikind 40, which is Telmisartan 40 mg, and Cilacar 20, which is Cilnidipine 20 mg, instead. Is this a safe alternative? Should I be careful about anything when taking these meds?

I'm on some medications right nowConcor 2.5, Paxidep CR 25, and Nexpro RD 40for panic disorder and concentric LVH. I've been thinking about doing some cardio exercises like running, jogging, push-ups, sit-ups, and maybe some light weight lifting with a dumbbell. I'm planning to do this for about 30 to 40 minutes, five days a week, because I've noticed I'm gaining some weight. I weigh 70 kg at a height of 5'3". Is it okay to keep up with these exercises while on these meds, or should I be cautious?
