I'm having this weird pinching chest pain right after I fall asleep. I got two ECGs, one in January and another in February, to check it out, and both were normal. I also did a TMT in February, and that came back negative too. I've tried taking anti-acids to relieve the pain, but they don't seem to be helping. I'm starting to get a bit worried. What could be going on, and what should I do next?

It sounds like you may be experiencing acid reflux or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) causing your chest pain. In this case, you can try taking a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) like omeprazole 20mg once daily before breakfast for at least 2 weeks. Additionally, you can take an antacid like Gaviscon after meals and at bedtime for immediate relief. Make sure to avoid spicy and fatty foods, eat smaller meals, and avoid lying down right after eating. If symptoms persist, you may need further evaluation by a gastroenterologist.

View allI'm really worried because my dad's having some mild chest pain. The doctor suggested an X-ray and then mentioned a CT-guided FNAC, but we're stuck since there aren't any clinics nearby that offer this procedure. On top of that, we're not in a strong financial position. Can you guide me on what we should do next? I'm feeling pretty lost right now.
go to any near by government district hospital, there all this facilities will be available

I'm sitting here with a blood pressure of around 130100. Should I go for a walk, or is it better if I just rest for now since it might go up when I'm active? I'm not sure what's the best thing to do in this situation.
It is generally safe to go for a walk with a blood pressure of 130100. Physical activity can actually help lower blood pressure. However, it is important to start with a gentle walk and monitor how you feel. If you experience any symptoms such as dizziness, chest pain, or shortness of breath, stop and rest. If you are on medication for high blood pressure, make sure to take it as prescribed
