Accepted Answer

Your symptoms, including a sinking feeling in your chest, dizziness, confusion, and chest and back pain, despite normal echo, MRI, and blood work results, may be related to anxiety, panic disorder, or stress-induced cardiomyopathy; consider consulting a psychiatrist to explore these possibilities and discuss potential treatments, such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), relaxation techniques, or medication to manage anxiety and alleviate symptom

Question 4

When I use Duonase nasal spray, I notice it ends up in my throat after a while. Should I be swallowing it or is it better to spit it out?

If Duonase nasal spray drips into your throat after use, it is generally safe to swallow. However, if you find the taste unpleasant or if it's causing irritation, you can spit it out. Just ensure you follow the recommended dosage and consult your doctor if you have any concerns.

Question 6

I'm a bit confused about tetanus shots. If I get one today and then have an injury in the next few days, do I need another injection right away, or am I covered for a bit? Can you help clarify this?

Accepted Answer

If you have received a tetanus shot today and then sustain an injury, you typically do not need another tetanus shot unless it has been more than 5 years since your last tetanus vaccination. In that case, you may need a tetanus booster shot within 48 hours of the injury. The recommended vaccine for tetanus booster is Tdap (Tetanus, Diphtheria, and Pertussis) and the usual adult dosage is 0.5 mL given intramuscularly.
