Question 1

I'm a bit worried because I had an Eco ECG TMT and some blood tests done about a month ago, and everything came back normal. But now, for the past two days, I've been having this pain in my left chest, especially when I'm trying to sleep. It's hard to get comfortable, and breathing seems to make it worse when I'm lying down. Any idea why this is happening if all my tests were normal? Could you suggest any painkillers that might help?

Accepted Answer

See a specialist for accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment.

Question 2

I've been taking Vicks Action 500 and Saridon for my headaches, and recently I had a heart attack. Ive recovered, but now I'm really worried if these meds might have caused the heart issue. Also, my doctor gave me Dynapar injections for headaches quite a few times. I'm starting to wonder if using Dynapar so frequently could lead to heart problems too. Can this frequent use be a cause for concern?

Accepted Answer

Headache medications like Vicks Action 500, Saridon, and Dynaper may not directly cause a heart attack, but they can have side effects that may put additional strain on the heart, especially if used frequently or in high doses.
Frequent use of caffeine (in both Vicks Action 500 and Saridon) and decongestants (like phenylephrine) may raise blood pressure and heart rate, which could potentially exacerbate pre-existing heart conditions.
Dynaper doesnt directly cause heart attacks, but its effects on heart rate should be monitored, particularly with frequent use.
It would be best to consult your cardiologist about the specific medications youre taking, especially after a heart attack. They might recommend alternative treatments that are safer for your heart. If you're still experiencing frequent headaches, your doctor may suggest an evaluation for underlying causes and alternative therapies.

Question 3

I'm really concerned about this pain I'm experiencing. It's not just in my chest but also in my back near the shoulder blade, and it's accompanied by headaches and some numbness in my left hand. I've also been feeling short of breath. I had an ECG done, and it came back normal. What could be going on here? Should I be worried or looking into something else?

Accepted Answer

rule out spondylosis

I'm looking at my ECG report, and it says sinus rhythm with normal complexity, but there's a mention of nonspecific T and ST wave abnormality. Should I be concerned about this? What does it really mean for my health?
