I'm having some pain on the left side of my chest and it's really worrying me. I'm also diabetic and on top of that, I'm supposed to have cervical surgery soon. Could these chest pains be related to my diabetes or maybe the upcoming surgery? I'm kind of anxious about it all and I'm wondering what I should do next.

Sometimes pain in the left side of the chest can be concerning, especially if you have a history of diabetes and are scheduled to undergo cervical surgery. This pain could be due to various reasons such as musculoskeletal issues, heart problems, or even related to your diabetes. It's important to get this evaluated by a healthcare professional. To help with the pain, you can take acetaminophen (Tylenol) 500mg every 6 hours as needed. However, if the pain persists or worsens, it is important to seek medical attention promptly.

View allI'm really worried about heart health. Could you tell me what tests are usually done to find heart disease? And what are the early signs of a heart attack I should watch out for? Also, what can I do to prevent a heart attack from happening in the first place?
To detect heart disease in the body, tests such as Electrocardiogram (ECG), Echocardiogram, Stress test, Cardiac catheterization, and CT scan may be done. Symptoms of a heart attack may include chest pain or discomfort, upper body pain, shortness of breath, nausea, lightheadedness, and cold sweats. To prevent a heart attack, it is important to maintain a healthy lifestyle by exercising regularly, eating a balanced diet low in saturated fats, managing stress, avoiding smoking, and controlling conditions like high blood pressure and diabetes.

I'm having a bit of a concern with my blood pressure. It was usually around 135 over 95 with my automatic blood pressure machine, so I started taking Rauwolfia Q homeopathy medicine, about 8 drops twice a day. Now my BP has dropped to below normal levels, and even though I stopped the medicine three days ago, it's still low. Lately, I've been feeling dizzy and a bit shaky sometimes. Do you have any advice on what I should do?
It seems like your blood pressure is still a bit on the lower side after stopping the medicine. It's important to monitor your blood pressure regularly. For now, try staying hydrated, having small, frequent meals, and avoiding sudden position changes. If the vertigo and shakiness persist, it's best to consult your doctor for further guidance.
