I'm having this squeezing pain in my chest that's been going on for a couple of days now. It gets worse when I take a deep breath. Any idea what might be going on?

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of angina, which is chest pain or discomfort caused by reduced blood flow to your heart muscle. It is important to seek medical attention immediately. In the meantime, you can take Aspirin 325mg to help reduce the risk of a heart attack. Please take one tablet and chew it for faster absorption. Remember to seek urgent medical help for further evaluation and treatment.

View allI'm wondering about my QTc interval, which was 454ms on the EKG. Is this considered normal? I also have sinus arrhythmia and had a panic attack before but during that time, both the EKG and echocardiogram came out normal. Should I be worried about this, and is there anything specific I should do or ask my doctor?
Your QTc interval of 454ms is slightly prolonged, which may be related to your sinus arrhythmia. Since you have a history of panic attacks, it's important to monitor your QTc interval regularly. In this case, it would be advisable to avoid medications that can further prolong the QTc interval. I recommend discussing this with your healthcare provider to determine the best course of action.

I'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've been having some pain in my left arm and jaw, along with a toothache and feeling weak, but there's no chest pain. Could these be signs of a heart attack? I'm kind of worried and would like to understand what this might mean.
exactly not that
