I'm really worried about my mom. She's 49, weighs 78 kg, and is 4.9 ft tall. She recently had this awful left side lower back pain and ended up taking Ultracet on her own. But then she had around 67 vomiting episodes, which freaked us out. We rushed her to the hospital and the ECG showed T wave inversion in the chest leads and left axis deviation. What does all this mean? Should I be really concerned?

It seems like your mother may have experienced side effects from Ultracet. The symptoms of vomiting and ECG changes are concerning. It is important to discontinue Ultracet immediately. For the back pain, she can take a safer alternative like Acetaminophen (Tylenol) 500mg every 6 hours as needed for pain. However, based on the ECG findings, it is important to consult with a cardiologist for further evaluation and management. The T wave inversion and left axis deviation may indicate cardiac issues that need to be addressed promptly.

View allI'm trying to understand the difference between heart palpitations and arrhythmia. Could you explain how they're different and if one is more serious than the other?
A "heart palpitation" is the feeling of your heart racing, fluttering, or pounding in your chest, which can be caused by various factors including stress, caffeine, or even just a temporary electrical glitch in your heart, while an "arrhythmia" is a medical term for an abnormal heart rhythm, meaning your heart beats irregularly, too fast, or too slow, and can sometimes be a more serious underlying condition that may or may not cause noticeable palpitations

I'm experiencing these brief episodes of chest pain that just last a few seconds and then vanish. It's weird because my breathing feels fine, and my heart rate doesn't seem to speed up. I found out a while back that I have a small VSD, and my last echo six months ago was normal. Can you help me figure out what might be causing this?
"Hello, based on your description of experiencing chest pain for a fraction of seconds without any difficulty in breathing or increased heart rate, and considering your small ventricular septal defect (VSD) with a normal echocardiogram 6 months ago, this chest pain may be related to musculoskeletal issues or anxiety rather than a cardiac cause. To alleviate your symptoms, you can take over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen (Tylenol) as needed for chest discomfort. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques or deep breathing exercises may help reduce any anxiety-related chest pain episodes. If the chest pain persists or worsens, it is advisable to follow up with your cardiologist for further evaluation and management."

I've been having chest pain every evening, even though my ECG, echocardiography, TMT, and CT coronary angiogram all come back normal. My cardiologist prescribed Flavedon MR 35, to be taken twice a day. Is this the right approach? Is there anything else I should be looking into for these everyday symptoms?
