I've been experiencing a burning sensation across my chest, including the areas near my armpits on both sides. I'm worried it might be related to a heart issue. Could this be the case?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
The presence of a burning sensation in the chest, particularly given your history and recent exercise, could indeed be related to a cardiac issue, particularly if accompanied by other symptoms like shortness of breath, sweating, or radiating pain. It's essential to seek immediate medical attention to rule out any serious conditions such as angina or a heart attack. In the meantime, avoid any further physical exertion and try to stay calm. Getting evaluated by a healthcare provider will allow for necessary tests, such as an electrocardiogram (ECG) and blood tests, to determine the cause of your symptoms and provide appropriate treatment.

View allMy dad had angioplasty a couple of months ago, and lately, hes been getting these red patches on his skin. They stick around for about 15 to 20 days and then disappear, only to pop up somewhere else on his body. Its been happening for the past month, and hes still on the meds the doctor gave him after the angioplasty. What could be causing these red patches?
The recurring red patches on your father's skin, healing and reappearing elsewhere, could be related to various factors, including allergic reactions to medications, skin infections, or autoimmune disorders; given his recent angioplasty and ongoing medication, consult his cardiologist or a dermatologist to rule out potential causes, such as drug-induced vasculitis or skin reactions to antiplatelet medications, and adjust his treatment plan accordingly.

I've noticed that my heart rate has been fluctuating between 92 and 104 over the past couple of days, and I'm starting to get worried. I haven't been sleeping well and have been feeling really bloated too. Should I be concerned and see a doctor?
Not sleeping well and feeling bloated since 2 days. It is important to monitor your heart rate and symptoms closely. For elevated heart rate and trouble sleeping, you can try taking **Metoprolol** 25mg once daily to help lower your heart rate and improve sleep quality. Additionally, for bloating, you can try **Simethicone** 125mg after meals to help relieve bloating symptoms. Make sure to stay hydrated and avoid foods that may exacerbate bloating.
