I'm really worried about my cousin. She's been having really bad chest pain on her left side since Thursday night. It hurts a lot when she touches it, and she can't lay down or sleep well. She tried taking Dolowin capsules, but it didn't help at all. What should we do? Could it be something serious?

I'm a bit worried because my cardiologist just switched my medication from clopidogrel 75mg and aspirin 75mg to clopitab cv 20mg. I took the old meds this morning. Is it okay to start with the new one tonight? If I wait until tomorrow, itll be over 24 hours between doses. What should I do?
If your cardiologist has advised you to switch from clopidogrel 75mg and aspirin 75mg to Clopitab CV 20mg (which combines clopidogrel and a lower dose of aspirin), you can start taking the new medication tonight. This will ensure continuous antiplatelet protection without a significant gap. However, to be absolutely certain and to avoid any potential interaction or complications, it is best to confirm this plan with your healthcare provider or pharmacist.

I've been told I have left ventricle collapse. Is this common? Can you explain what it means and if it's something serious?
Left ventricular collapse is not a common condition. It can be a serious medical issue that may result from conditions such as severe heart failure, myocardial infarction, or cardiogenic shock. The collapse of the left ventricle can lead to decreased cardiac output and potentially life-threatening complications. Treatment typically involves medications such as ACE inhibitors, beta-blockers, and diuretics to help improve heart function and reduce symptoms. In severe cases, surgical interventions or devices like an implantable cardioverter-defibrillator may be necessary. It is important to follow up regularly with a cardiologist for proper management and monitoring of this condition.
