I'm really worried about my brother. He's been having some chest discomfort and mild pain that sometimes happens on the left side and other times in the center. He gets really nervous, and his heart rate spikes to around 90-98 bpm when this happens, but when he's more relaxed, it goes back down to about 68-72 bpm. He runs on the treadmill for 20 to 30 minutes at least five days a week and doesn't feel any discomfort during that time. Although he has an acidity and GERD problem, he's finished his course of medication and isn't taking any other tablets. His sugar and blood pressure are normal, and chest X-rays came back fine, with an orthopaedic saying it's nothing serious and just suggesting vitamins. He also feels pain at certain points when the chest is pressed. With all these symptoms, I'm wondering if it could be his heart, acidity, muscular, or maybe even a nerve issue. Do you think an angiography would be necessary given his normal reports so far?

View allWhen is it okay to stop taking Inderal LA 20 mg? I've been on it for about a month now for anxiety and because my blood pressure was a bit high, around 14085. I've managed to get those under control, so I'm wondering if it's safe to stop the medication. What do you suggest?
Inderal LA 20 mg is a beta-blocker medication used to treat high blood pressure and anxiety. Since you have been taking it for a month and have overcome your anxiety and your blood pressure is now under control, you can consider stopping the medication. However, it is important to consult with your doctor before making any changes to your medication regimen. Your doctor may recommend tapering off the medication gradually to avoid any potential withdrawal symptoms.

I'm a 26-year-old male, around 78 kg, and about 5'9". During my UPSC physical test, the doctor mentioned hearing a slight heart murmur through the stethoscope. I went through an echo test and an ECG, but they didn't find anything specific. I passed the test, but I'm kind of worried about what this could mean for my future. My recent cholesterol levels are 195 total, 96 LDL, 35 VLDL, and 39 HDL. The echo test showed that my IV septum is 11. Should I be concerned about this murmur, and is there something I should be doing to address it? Your guidance would be really helpful.
Given your situation, it is important to monitor your heart health regularly. To address the heart murmur, you can take a low dose of **Aspirin** daily to prevent blood clots and reduce the risk of heart attack. Additionally, **Atorvastatin** can be used to manage your cholesterol levels effectively. It is recommended to take **Atorvastatin 20mg** daily to keep your LDL cholesterol in check. Regular exercise, a healthy diet low in saturated fats and cholesterol, and avoiding smoking can also help improve your heart health and reduce the risk of future issues. It's essential to follow up with your healthcare provider for regular check-ups and monitoring.
