I'm really concerned about some persistent pain in my chest since an auto accident 40 days ago. The x-ray mentioned something about an altered cardio thoracic ratio, and honestly, that's got me a bit worried. I've been using volini and doing hot compresses, but nothing seems to help. Can you advise on what might be going on and what I should do next?

View allI've been having this burning sensation on the left side of my chest for the last three months. It's not super painful, more like an irritation, but sometimes it feels like pinpricks and can also move to my armpit and back. I've had a 2D Echo and two TMTs, and everything came back normal, but I'm still feeling this discomfort. Should I be worried about this? Do you think I should get another TMT or look into something else?
Considering your symptoms and the normal results of your previous tests, it is important to rule out acid reflux as a possible cause of your chest irritation. I recommend trying a proton pump inhibitor like Omeprazole 20mg once daily before breakfast for 4-8 weeks to see if it helps with your symptoms. Additionally, you can take antacids like Tums as needed for immediate relief. If the symptoms persist or worsen, further evaluation may be needed, but repeating the TMT may not be necessary at this point.

I'm a bit worried about my pulse rate being 130 when I wake up. Is that considered high? I tested positive for COVID-19 on August 5th, 2020, and thankfully, I tested negative by August 29th, 2020. Could this be related to my elevated pulse rate?
A pulse rate of 130 when you wake up is considered high. It is possible that your previous COVID-19 infection could be a contributing factor to this elevated pulse rate. However, it is important to monitor your symptoms and consult with your healthcare provider for further evaluation. In the meantime, you can consider taking Metoprolol (brand name: Lopressor) 25mg once daily to help lower your heart rate.

I'm really worried about my mom. Her blood pressure this morning was 16090, and she's gained 45 kgs in the last 7 months. She doesn't show any other symptoms, but should I be concerned? Do you think she should start on any medication, or is there something else I should do? I'm planning to keep track of her blood pressure from now on. What would you recommend?
High blood pressure (hypertension) can lead to serious health issues if left untreated. Given your mother's blood pressure reading of 16090, it is considered high and should be monitored closely. Since she has also gained weight recently, it is important to address this as well to help lower her blood pressure. I recommend starting with lifestyle modifications such as regular exercise, a healthy diet low in sodium and saturated fats, and weight loss if needed. Additionally, she can start taking an antihypertensive medication such as Losartan 50mg once daily to help lower her blood pressure. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and monitoring.
