I'm really worried about this constant headache I have, mostly because my blood pressure and sugar are both on the high side. I've done a CT scan and an MRI, but both came back normal. Even my neurologist confirmed everything looks fine. Despite all that, I'm still feeling this awful sense of suffocation. There's no history of any heart problems in my family or anything like that. Do you think I should see a cardiologist about the suffocation issue?

In this case, since suffocation is still an issue, it would be advisable to consult with a cardiologist to rule out any cardiac-related causes. The cardiologist may recommend medications such as Amlodipine (5mg) for high blood pressure and Metformin (500mg) for diabetes to help manage your conditions and alleviate symptoms. It's important to follow up with the cardiologist for further evaluation and management of your symptoms.

Hey, my mom's 60 and she's been feeling this heaviness in her chest. They prescribed her Cidmus 50. I'm really curious about why this specific medication is used and what condition it's usually meant to treat?

Cidmus 50 is given to treat angina, which is chest pain or discomfort that occurs when the heart muscle does not receive enough blood. Cidmus 50 contains the active ingredient Atenolol, which helps to reduce the workload on the heart and decrease its oxygen demand. The usual dosage of Cidmus 50 for angina is 50-100mg once daily.

How do I know if my chest pain is serious?

Any chest pain needs physical examination by a doctor and tests to know the cause. On a general note; sudden feeling of pressure,squeezing,tightness,or crushing under your breastbone and chest pain that spread to your jaw,left arm or back and sudden sharp chest pain with shortness of breath may indicate a serious cardiac problem.
