I'm really worried about my brother. He's been having this chest pain and it's like the bones in his chest are hurting too. We went to a general physician who thought it could be gas-related, but the tablets he prescribed haven't helped after a week. I've noticed his chest bones seem to be swelling a bit, and he describes it as feeling like there's a heavy weight there. Interestingly, he sometimes feels relief and no pressure on his chest after he passes bowel movements. Also, he has a sitting job as securitycould that be making his chest pain worse? Should we get an X-ray to find out what's going on, or is there a specific medication you might recommend?

Got some concerns that've been bothering me. I had palpitations on Feb 1st when I was at work and the doctor checked out my reports like ECG, 2DEcho, TMT, and said it's not a heart problem. But since yesterday, I've had a fever and my right ankle's swollen and painful. I went out on my bike today, and just after starting, felt like I had some breathing trouble. Should I be looking into any more tests? I read somewhere that swollen ankles and fever might cause heart issues. What do you think?

renal function tests, pulmonary function tests are advised...

I've been on high blood pressure medication for the past year, taking Telma 20, and I added Prazopress XL 5 about two months ago. My blood pressure is finally under control now, so I'm wondering, is it possible for me to stop taking Prazopress? Or should I definitely talk to a doctor about this change?

no u have to continue with the medications for BP.. If u have any side-effects like bradycardia ,blurred vision , palpitations u can stop the medication.. U can take tab telma h (20+12.5) mg orally once daily in the morning..
